Crown Point, Ind., Feb. 6. —A grewsome find was made yesterday at the Crip Binyon harp, Cedar Lake, by searchers when the frozen and badly mutilated body of Tom McGarlty, a well known character around these parts, was found lying on the floor of the structure. McGarjty, who is between 35 and 40 years of age, was a farm hand on the Zurbreggan farm up to last Saturday when it is said he quit his place and left. Since then no trace of his whereabouts was dis. covered, and a search —was commenced, resulting in the finding of the body. The corpse had every appearance of having been foully dealt with, a gash on the top of his head indicating that he was felled with some kind of a blunt instrument. Robbery la thought to have been the motive for the crime as McGarlty was a peaceable fellow and had no enemies.
