SHEET OFFERS
SLIGHT CLUE in
DESERT TRAGEDY

Gruesome splotehes of blood on
a white sheet today had caused
renewed effort by Undersheriff
Rodney Clarke and members of the
sheriff's force to identify the body
of a dead man, found January II,
on the desert southwest of Dixie
land, with a bullet hole through
the heart and the body stripped of
all clothing.
Considered the most important
find yet made in the investigation
into Imperial county's most puz-
zling murder mystery, discovery of
the sheet on the Mountain Springs
grade was made known today after
almost a week of secret inveStiga-
tion which led nowhere.
The sheet, practically covered
with blood and with strands of
reddish hair adhering to it, was
found beside the San Diego high
way where it apparently had been
thrown from a speeding automo-
bile. 1t was turned over to the
sheriff's office here in order that
officials might trace its origin.
Comparison of the wisps of hair
found on the sheet. and the hair
of the dead man. disclosed the two
were practically Identical. This
led to the theory the sheet was
used to wrap the nude body of the
man before it was deposited on the
desert, some time before Janu-
airy II.
Fruitless efforts were made to
trace a laundry mark, the number
"l747," stamped in one corner of
the sheet. and a gray crocheted
cross sewn into another corner.
Yesterday afternoon photographs
of the marks were mailed to CEN
trail police bureaus throughout
California and other western states
in the hope some light may be
thrown on the mystery.
In the meantime the district at
torneys office is awaiting word
from Albuquerque, N. M, regard
ing the tentative identification by
Phoenix wrestler of the man IS
Mckee, another wrestler.
The murder victims body still
is held in Lemons mortuary here
in the hopes it will be identified
by some one who knew the man.

coming of st. Patrick and Christian
1ty to Ireland. Then followed scenes
OF cities and many of the natural
beauty spots Of old Ireland, some of
them very unusual that were made
by Mr.. Ross during the trouble be-
tween England and Ireland in 1916
and 1920.
One of the developments of Erin
was shown and explained in the
River Shannon power scheme, which
Mr: Ross said cost the nation many
millions Of dollars, but cut the cost
OF electricity so drastically that now
practically the entire population
might have the benefits of electric
power. Heretofore, Mr.. Ross ex-
planned, only the rich could afford
this luxury.
Scenes of the principal industries
were also shown, including brewing,
cattle raising and the expectation Of
