Brother of Local
 Man Murdered
(Continued from Page 1.)

Only meagre details of the recov- cry of the body were obtained by MT DeBisschop through the South fled by the New York authorities. An undertaken from Southington was sent to New York city shortly after word was received, but the authorities are not expected to grant permission for the removal of the corpse for another 24 hours or more. The police have start ed an investigation of Mir De- Bisschop's disappearance from Marion, his presence in Waterbury and the report that he was well supplied with money. The fact that his auto was found abandoned in the north end section of the city has also aroused the suspicion of his local friends.
 "Joe" on his visits to Waterbury always left his car parked on Phoenix avenue near my office. stated MT DeBisschop this after noon. He was not acquainted up that way and it seems to me that when he came here he must have viisted someone and in some way flashed his roll of bills"
 According to the Southington police the\ New York authorities are inclined to believe that the deceased was drowned or thrown into the river after being slugged, although there were no marks re- ported found on the body.
 This afternoon Superintendent O. Police Joseph H. Mclean of this city was in telephonic communi- cation with the New York police Tn an effort to obtain additional in- formation. The metropolitan police in view of MT DeBisschop's success in business, his health and his ap-
 parent prosperity, are also con- vinced that the deceased met with foul play. The big question of To- cal interest is whether the plan actually started in Waterbury with the parties responsible taking MT DeBisschop for "a ride" with rob bery in view and a safe place to dispose of the body. Members of the local detective bureau. the Southington police and the state police will cooperate in handling
 whatever facts concern Connecti- cut.
 DeBisschop was a building con- tractor and the owner of consid- erable property in Marion and Southington.
