ing. The hotel register showed the
name Of MIR. and Mrs Collingborne,
but Mrs. Ceilings convinced the au-
thorities that she and her husband had
never been to the hotel.
Further mystery was added to the
case by remarks little Barbara Ceilings
made when she was found in the cabin
II the deserted Penguin. II. l.. Noteman
one OF the yachtsmen who boarded the
Penguin, told the authorities that she
told him both her father and mother
had gone for q swim with all their
clothes on and that Ceilings had lost
his job. Ceilings, who began a career
as an engineer after graduating from
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, soon retired and had not worked
so far as could be learned, for seven
years. He was 38 years old at the time
OF his death.
Ceilings body was rolled in by heavy
breakers and thrown up on the beach
Of the Marshall Field estate.
1t was face downward, and was left
that way pending arrival OF the proper
officials, but positive Identification was
made by geld and sapphire ring on the
right hand.
Signs Of Force Seen.
The body was dressed as Mrs Col
lings had described Ceilings at the time
he was attacked. barefoot and wearing
dark brown mechanics overalls.. Both
hands and feet were tied tightly, in
what officials called sailors knots"
with a half-inch rope. The arms, tied
behind the back, bore bruises officials
said were inflicted before death. They
were taken to indicate that considerable
force had been used In securing Col
lings.
Pockets Inside Out.
After examination of the body ut
the morgue 1t was announced that all
the pockets were turned inside out, and
there were no articles Of Identification
on the body except the gold-and-sap-
phire ring.
Capt Emil Morse Of the homicide
squad studied the knots with which
Ceilings hands and feet had been tied,
and described them as 'revengeful
knots"
It was said that the rope used to tie
Ceilings was not like any found on the
Penguin. 1t was half Inch jute rope Of
kind commonly used for tying up
small boats.
John Fox, captain of the william 3.
Leeds yacht. who was asked to examine
the knots studied them carefully and
then announced that they were not any
kind used by sailors. They were very
good" however, he said. The rope was
unlike any found on the Penguin.
Blue considered this evidence as valu-
able in that he said 1t proved conclu-
sively to him the attack had not been
made by men accustomed TO the ways
Of water craft and so narrowed the hunt
by Just so much.
