Jacob Schueckenhaufer dragged from the lake at a point on the state line the distorted body of an unknown man. There were many cuts on the head made by a blunt inurnment,and heavy enough to fracture the skull. Tied to the neck by ropes were heavy granite paving blocks. The man was evidently about 45 years old, partly bald, five feet ten inches in height and weighed about 170 pounds. On a key ring was a brass check bearing the words, “Commercial Safety and Deposit company, No. 36, Chicago.” Another key was similar to those used to fasten the cabin doors on lake steamers.
