Body of Slain Victim Dragged Frcm Auto Is Hid Behind Willow Gopse and Found By Frightened Farmer Last Eva,

MAY BE AUTO SALESMAN. CHICAGO, Feb. 21. That the willow copse corpse found last night on the Hammond road is the body of R. H. MacKellin, a motor salesman for the Chalmers Motor company, is more than probable. He took a car out to show a prospect three days ago and has not been seen by the company since. The description in The Times accords with his and a representative of the company has gone out to Hammond to identify him if possible.

(BULLETIN) The IT. S. Cigar Stores tobacco coupon found on the remains has been identified by th Chicago manager of the company ono that was shipped to Indianapolis on February 12 and was given out in trade over some Indianapolis cigar counter. This strengthens the theory of those wb-o held that the body wti broug-ht from th south. (By H. H,. COSS. Hammond today stands baffled at the most remarkable murder mystery it has ever known and it has no peer in. the northern part of the state except the Rev.. Kayser case of Gary. The brainiest of detectives in Chicago, the most astute police, the sharpest of police reporters have labored on the murder mystery since six last night and it is still a mystery. As the hours go on the case grows more puzzling. Body Was Still Warm. Shot through the head the spinal cord snapped in two the still warm body of a we'll dressed young man was discovered dead beneath a lone u How tree, five hundred feet south of the Little Calumet river, west of the ditch skirting South Calumet avenue, within full view of Hie highway, at live o'clock yesterday afternoon. Charles Sandstrom, a farmer first saw the grewsome Fight of the prone figure in an overcoat covered by blood. He notified Marshal C. W. Jansen at Minister ami Hammond authorities wre called. The remains were taken to the Kmmerling undertaking .-s-tahjishmon'. Murder, Not Suicide. Certain facts bae bi en established beyond a doubt. (a) The youth was shct to death. (b) The body was brought in an auto to where tt was found. (c) Body was dragged by feet to place it was found, from the roadside. (d) Condition of the bands showed the victim unusned to manual labor. Impressions in the macadam of automobile tires an-l marks which indicate the body was dragged from the machine over the ditch and beneath the willow, have led the police to believe the young man was killed elsewhere, the remains spirited away and dropped as soon as safe from the public view. Dumped It In Fear. Xo effort was made, however, to conceal the remains and the conspirators must have been urged to haste by fear. A few hundred feet away, among the j willows of the Fittle Calumet river, the I llv could l ave been hidden for weeks Hither the machine was coming from the south and seeing Hammond the driver stopped before the rise over the bridge to dispose .of the body or it was southbound and the driver in too great a hurry to select a spot for hiding the body. Buttons Torn From Clothes. Apparently twenty-three or twentyfour years of age, dressed in well tailored clothes, silk hose, an expensive make of shoes, and in a cleanly and well kept condition, the liody of the murdered youth indicates he was pros perous The fact that only seven cents! were found in bis pockets which had been ripped out to prevent identification. I leaves room for the possibility that he I might have been killed for the money j and jewelry w hich a man so dressed j would be expected to carry. j Firur U. S.
