LYNN. Mass., April 1. Geo. E. Marsh, the murdered millionaire soap manufacturer whose body was found riddled with bullets at a lonely spot on the state boulevard where it crossed West Lynn. Marsh was slain within a hundred yards of his home according to the theory of the police today. The police state that the evidence thus far discovered established the following facts. Marsh was killed in Lynn and then whirled in an automobile whose lights were shrouded in cloth, through the streets to the marsh where the body was found. The motive was not robbery. Marsh had no known enemies. He had been dead fifteen hours when found and probably was killed at 7 o'clock Thursday evening. The police have not established a motive. They are working on two clues. First There are rumors that the dead man was very friendly with a Lynn woman and had planned to marry again and take his wife west, where his son is living. In this connection also there Is a report that Marsh was seen with a woman, driving, after dark Thursday evening. Second The police will today interview William H. Miles, the dead man's attorney in an effort to discover whether Marsh left any will, and if so to find whether that document will give any clue to persons who might be interested in the millionaire's death. The most dramatic feature of the tragedy is the story unearthed by the police of how the dead man's body, after he had been killed, was whisked through the streets of Lynn, in a phantom automobile, dropped by the roadside where it was afterward found. Three policemen saw the auto on its swift flight. Its tail light was out and Its number hidden, with the muffler cut out, the machine raced through the streets, refused to stop when hailed and disappeard before help could be summoned. Pedestrians saw the machine also and Amos F. Porter, a night crossing tender on the Boston Revere beach and Lynn railroad tells of seeing a machine that stood for several minutes at the spot where the body was afterward found.

She isn't well enough to go to school and was just lonesome, so she took the baby and planned to raise her, so to always have some one to love her.

GIVES REASON FOR KEEPING UP PRICE No Reduction in Ice, Rettig Says, Because the Expenses So Heavy. Because expenses have increased nearly fifty per cent is given by Otto Rettig, manager of the local Ice company, as the reason for the high price of ice the coming summer. The cora-

. pany has a supply of natural ice 6ufj ficlent for two years, but Mr. Rettig j states the higher cost of labor, and I attendant expenses of putting up the ice, the heavy snow being an importj ant factor, as it had to be removed ! from the ice before cutting, makes it ! necessary that the company keep the I price the same as last year in order ! to make a profit. He also said the high

cost of feed for the teams was another factor in keeping up the price.
