Police Check Meager CIeWS
on Clothing of Victim
Found in Street.

Efforts of police today to trace
laundry and dry cleaners marks to
establish identity of man found
injured fatally at East and Market
streets Sunday night failed.
Bert Parrot, police department
Bertillon expert, compared the dead
mans f1ngerprints with those on
record at headquarters to no avail.
The prints then were taken to the
bureau of criminal Identification
and investigation in the Statehouse
for further inspection.
The body of the man, at the
Moore & Kirk funeral parlors, $3.50
Station street, had been viewed by
several hundred persons without
Identification.
Believing the man was near home
when he was slugged, check of
rooming houses in the vicinity was
being made. A further check Of
laundrieS and dry cleaners also was
being carried on.
With three theories, police were
attempting to solve the murder,
hampered by lack of identity of the
victim.
Fight Is Suspected
That a fight in nearby rooming
house may have ended in fatal in
jury of the man was one theory.
Another was that holdup men had
slugged the man as he walked
along the street.
The third was that his body had
been brought to the spot in an au-
tomobile.
Theodore Wells of BAL Broadway,
filling station attendant at Market
and East streets, reporting to po-
lice he saw two suspicious appearing
men pass the station twice shortly
before the body was found. They
went down an alley near by, he said
He watched them, fearing holdup
of the station.
Police today were investigating.
but discounted, a report Of an
abandoned truck at the stockyards
in which a blood-stained club was
found.
First belief the man had been
struck by an automobile were dis
counted today. No injuries we're
found on his body except for
wound, caused by blunt instru-
ment, on his head. His clothing
was not torn or soiled.
Woman Phones Police
Mrs. Maude Raymond, 1874 North
East street, telephoned police at
1926 Sunday night that a man,
probably struck by an automobile,
was lying in the street. Police in
vestigated and found the mans
body, his head and shoulders in the
gutter and his body on the side
walk.
He died at city hospital without
regaining consciousness.
His pockets were empty. Clothier's
tags were missing from the sweater
he wore, but police could not de-
ternine whether they had been re-
moved recently.
The victim was about 40 years
old, 6 feet / inch tall, weighed about
I55 to 100 pounds, Of slim, why
build, had scar in his upper lip,
three scars ON his left hip tsinilar
