DELPHI MEN FIND BODY OF WOMAN

Had Caught in Clump of Bushes After Floating Down Wabash From Logansport Two farmers living near Delphi were riding along the bank of the Wabash ri v€r 5 miles north of Delphi Tuesday when they saw the body of a woman caught in the willows along the bank. Investigation proved that the body was badly decomposed. They gave the alarm, believing that a murder case had been discovered. Investigation, however, proved that the body was that of Mrs. Margaret Hill, of Logansport, who had often made threats to commit suicide and who had been missing from her home in Logansport for about five weeks. Mrs. Hill was called “the blue woman of Logansport” because of a peculiar blue cast to her complexion. * On the night of her .disappearance she did not retire when her husband did. He slept for a short time and when he awoke she was still in. the house and he asked her why she did not go to bed. She replied that she would and he went back to sleep. When he woke in the morning she was missing. He found a pair of her shoes in the room. They were covered with mud. He informed the police and a careful Investigation was started but no clew was discovered until the dead body was found Tuesday.
