CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-The body of
a youth who committed suicide by
poisoning, here early last month,
which was saved from the Potter
Field by local policeman, who de-
cided to have Sheriff Harry Sher-
wood Of Crawford County, Wiscen.
sin. examine it yesterday, may be
that of Erdman S. Olson, college
student who is charged with the
murder of his sweetheart, Clara Oh
son, police said today.
The body, which is in the morgue
here was examined by Sheriff Sher-
wood, who could not decide whether
or not it was that of the missing
student, Sheriff Sherwood knew
Young Olson, and said that the dead
youth resembled him in every
particular. Albert Olson, father of
the boy, viii probably be brought
here to examine the corpse.
Police records show that the
suicide registered at a local hotel
Nov. g.. and was found dead in his
room by chambermaid. He
registered under the name of John
Carr" He had apparently taken
every precaution to see that he
would rest in a napeless grave. This
was regarded as significant by local
police, because Young Olson had said
he would rather face death than
captivity, in a letter to his parents
just before he disappeared.

barricaded in a house at Herrin,

battle with officers as they passed
through Carbonate following a hold
UP in Golden, nearby mining town.
Learning that the bandits were be-
lieved to be hiding in a house here,
the three officers came to Herrin

every window. Heilman and his men
retreated before any shooting took
place.
The sheriff said today he would
return with reipforcements in an
effort to capture occupants of the
house.
