MYSTERY UNSOLVED

Solution of the mystery and Identity of the well dressed man whose charred body was found on the cold ember of a camp fire near Waverly Beach more than a week ago wau at a stand-still today with the belief that Porter county authoriuea

and newspapermen might dig up new clews which might assist in throw

ing some light on the case within the

next forty-eight hours.

Following a statement made yes

terday noon by Paul Wilson, common law husband of "Diana of the Dunes" who Is still confined at the Mercy hospital suffering from a fractured skull, a few authorities and a flock of reporters tramped the dunes between Waverly Beach and Miller, each- in hopes of locating the supposed "wild man" whom Wilson says is roaming the dunes and the murder of the unidentified stranger. The search was a fruitless one. All afternoon and last night they searched, tramped up and down over the dunes, without any trace of the "wild man." The nearest Times reporters came to a possible clew was a story told by two girls at Waverly beach who told a story that "some one" had seen a man in a cave in a certain direction from Waverly Beach on Monday. This led the reporters on a new chase and after a lengthy search found what was supposed to ba the cave, but "no wild man." A small camp fire was near the entrance, but showed that It had been used weeks before, probably by some campers. As far as The Tlme3 and some of the authorities are concerned, they believe the "wild man" story a hoax and from now on will extend the search in other directions. Sheriff Pennington was Informed of the supposed "wild man" yesterday noon and promised to take a posse out and search the dunes. Reporters were unable to find him throughout the afternoon and later learne tht he was out working on another case. The sheriff also believes the "wild man" clew a hoax and Is making no effort In that direction. Wilson was released from the Gary police station yesterday on $100 bonds' while "Fisherman" Eugenei Frank' held for shooting Wilson and hitting -THana" over the head with his revolver, was released on one thousand dollar bonds.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE LiANSIXG. Mich., June 15. Coolness of Sheriff Hugh Silsby of Ingham county, last night prevented a mob of Jaokson residents from attacking the county ajll at Mason, twelve miles from here. In order to lynch Georse Straub. alleged confessed murderer of Alice Mallet of Jackson. When the lynching party, under the impression that Straub was in the Ingham jail, showed up at Mason it was to find Sheriff Silsby sitting calmly in a chair on a balcony In front of the Jail. He was smoking his pipe and was comfortably resting his feet vpon the railing of the balcony. "We want Straub," yelled the crowd. The sheriff kept right on smoking. "And we're going to get him." continued the Jackson bunch. The sheriff calmly removed the pipe from his mouth "He isn't In the jail," he said. "We want to see," persisted the would-be lynchers. "Jail is locked for the night," said the sheriff. "And you're not going in. There's a dose of hot lead In there waitins for the first man to try it." Whereupon the officer replaced his pipe and resumed his puffing. "I believe the son-of-a-gun means it," remarked one of the ringleaders of the mob. "I'm going." The vote was unanimous. The Jail was saved and bloodshed averted.
