-a J II USED Silas Eversole Hangs Self at County Jail Leaves Note to His Wife. (CONTINUED 1'KO.M PACE ONE.) Police Kerr when interviewed by a reporter Monday morning. Police Are lnetigating;. "It is true that the police department had been advised of such a story." said he, "but an effort to locate" its origin was fruitless. We do not know where it was started, it is true, i believe that the I.otran woman operated a dive at the house in question at the time the murder was discovered." 'Kversole's death clears up the mystery of the death of Hazel Maeklin." was the comment made by a deputy in the prosecuting attorney's ollice. This deputy has had charge of the state's case since the investigation following the discovery of the crime." "I am personally convinced that Kversole was guilty," said Detective Chief Kuespert, "and his suicide makes it more plausible." Kuespert declared that the alibi of Kversole that he hail been in Milwaukee. Wis., and Elkhart, Ind.. immediately following the discovery of the crime, was a true one. He stated that after u trip to Milwaukee -ie had discovered that Kversole had lived there under the assumed name of ira Dunn, but that it had been in April. 1!4U, as Kversole had declared in a statement Saturday to Sheriff P.ailey. It was the first and only statement to have been made by the prisoner since, his arrest last Thursday. l ind Letter to Fainil. Kversole left nothing in the way of a confession. His cell was ransacked by Coroner Swantz and deputies of the sheriff's office, but nothing aside from a letter written Saturday to his family, a few articles of clothing and the bedclothes of two cots in the cell, were found. The letter was written on a piece of yellow paper sack, sai to have been smuggled into the oner bv memler of his family. A note Avntten upon the margin of a pae from a farm periodical was also found. This contained a request that he be furnished with paper and pencil and that they be brought to him in a handkerchief. A new handkerchief was found on the tloor by Coroner Swanta. According to Sheriff Pailey and Kuespert there is much evidence against Kversole in the hands of the two departments. Kach has worked on the case from a different angle, and their findings have been kept to themselvr?. Kvidonee Ilar.l to (ict. "Kvidenee in this case has been hard to procure," said Kuespert. "All we havo is a, circumstantial net from which it would have been ditlicult for the accused man to come clear. His suicide to my mind settles the question of his guilt." Kversole was fully clothed when found by Turnkey Parkley. The bedding and his co.it, hat and shoes were idled Into one corner of the ceil. A towel had been knotted around his waist and with another towel he Uad formed looiu through which he thrust his arms. About his feet he had tied in a loose single knot, a blanket. His lody was suspended two feet above the iloor. round Iipe in Cell. The pipe with which lie had formed the noose was less than a half inch in diameter. It had been jerked from a disinfectant apparatus lastcned to a lavatory in one corner of the ward in which he was confined. Tito letter found gac instructions as to the conduction of his legal affairs of the family, the appeal that they en:-;aKO another attorney, and stated that the prisoner had obtained encouragement from Sheriff Pailey in two points of his ease. He wound up by .raying: "O. 1 want a private talk with all of you. Look out for the crops and stock at home. Watch John that he docs not pilfer our home." Py John it was supposed that he meant the man whom he had hired to help 'him with the work on tlie farm. He is said to be in sole possession of the place. Mrs. Melinda Kversole, wife of Kversole, and his daughter, Cora Kversole, are said to be in the city. They were notitied of the accused man's death from the othce of the Jones undertaking rooms, and were inclined to disbelieve the report. Ilu-band Not (luilty. 'It is worry." said Mrs. Kversole. "He was not guilty of this horr'Me crime, but the worry and ceaseless questioning have caused this final act." Deputy Pros. Samuel Schwartz stated Monday morning that the st.to would probably stop prosecution in the case. 1 ero!e's suicide practically closes that chapter of the case." he said. "We have questioned him for hours at a time, but were able to Ket nothing from him which would incriminate him." Hazel Macklin's mother. Mrs. Pora Alspaugli. who lives in Premen. Ind., is the objec t of an investigation started by the police and detective departments. That she knows more of the crime than she ha.s confided to the police department is believed by the authorities, and she will probably bo a witness in the inquest in the death of Kversole. Conversations in which Mrs. Alspaudi is alleged to ha e uttered damaging remarks are said to bo in the possession of the police and sheriff. The town of Prenun according to Chief Kuespert, is reeking with rumor and gi-ssip. I.ietl at Wakaru-a. The general character and reputation of Kversole whn he lived in Wakarusa, Ind., and had charge of tin" Punkard congregation in that city, was bad. according in P. F. Witmer. town marshal. He left Wakarusa and mocd to Mishawaka. Ho later lived on a farm south of Sprinbrook park, but rnoed to Pristol after selling his property shortly after the murder was discovered and his name had i en mentioned by the police in connection. At Pristol he took charge of the James Ore nun farm two miles north

IF'

of the city, where he lhed a retired and quin life. He was said to have shunned all society, and would not stay in the house when his wife received caliers. When working in the fields he would turn his face away from pas-scrsby and would leave the field entirely if some one ,,f his friends stopped to talk with him. Hazel Macklin disappeared, from the home of her aunt on the niht of Aug. IT. irH. She icft tho house to meet an unknown man at Springbrook park, in answer to an advertisement published in local newspapers askin? for a young girl to do noneral housework and care for a baby. Poly round hi Park. Two weeks later the police were notified of the disappearance by the managing editor of The News-fimes. who asked that an investivation be started. On Sunday morning. Oct. 1 4, the girl's decomposed body was found in the vault of a deserted outhouse on Island park by L. H. Murdoch. Mrs. Charles C. Miller, the -iris aunt, was unable to aid the police in any way. save to give particulars of her leaving the house ami of a mysterious man who called over the telephone several times for the girl, saying that he was a Dunkanl and that the girl should come unaccompanied to .Sprinsbrook park, where he and his wife would meet her. From that time on rumor and report have painted more than one picture of the girl's fate. Whether sho was taken first to the place operated by Cora Logan, as has been intimated

to tne police department, or whether i she was taken direct to the park audi murdered after having been attacked,; tne ponce have never been able to dis- i cover. TelcM-ope Never round. Other reports were to the effect that a man and a girl w ere seen in a buggy on Krnsperger st. and the the girl was struggling with her supposed abductor. A telescope rip with which the girl left her home, was never found, although the police department searched every nook and corner of the park. A woman later reported to the police that she had seen a man in the park with a suit case in his hand, but investigation showed that the suitcase in this instance was one of wickerwork, and the one with which the girl was last seen was of canvas. .ilas P. Kversole. cx-I)unkard minister, was arrested Thursday, Aug. l'l, charged with the crime, after a year of investigation by the detective department. Had his suicide occurred three days later, it would have been just one year to the day from the date of the girl's disappearance from her home. Deputy Sheriff John P. Cully, w h was responsible for the arrest last Thursday of Kversole at a store in Pristol. has been absent from the office of the sheriff since Saturday at noon. At that time he was talking to a man who was telling him certain matters in regard to the Macklin icase. and without te imr Sheriff Pai ley of his whereabouts, he disappeared and has not been seen since-. Poth Detective Chief Kuespert and Sheriff pailey continue to seek evidence in the case. Neither is willing to admit that there is- any doubt that Kversole was the man who committed the crime.

As a result of this the war department announced that two aeroplanes will be sent at once to Prownsville from Fort ill, okla. The war department today was awaiting word as to the arrival of a battery of 4.7 inch cannon and a battery of 4.7 inch howitzers ordered to Prownsville Saturday from Fort JSill. WASHINGTON. An?, lrt. A threat of war in case of "political or armed" intervention by the United .States was received in Washington Sunday from Gen. Pablo Gonzalez, one of Carnnzas strongest military leaders. It was gien out by the Carranza agency here. Gen. Gonzalez's declaration was made Saturday night. Presumably it followed the receipt of the appeal of the Pan-American conference for a peaceful settlement of Mexico's affairs. state department officials therefore are inclined to accept it as indicating' defiance and relentless opposition to tho peace plan. The dispatch was sent by Jesus Acuna, minister of foreign relations in Carranza's cabinet. It follows in part: "Pefcre a gathering of newspapernun last night (ien. Pablo Gonzalez made a little talk. In it he said: "I believe that before long the constitutionalist government of Mexico will be recognized by the United Statis and by the .South American countries as well.

MYSTERY GROWS III MURDER CASE Police Seek to Connect Death of Cora Logan with Murder of Hazel Macklin. (CONTINTKD FROM PACK ONE) leen fopii at that place sance Tuesday morning. Harly .Sunday morning n careful investigation of tho roadhouse in which the Logan woman met her death was made by Detective Sergeant Hainhart. Infective Diver and Coroner Swantz. On a tabb in the kitchen, in the rear of the first floor, the fatal knife was found, still covered with the life blood of the dead woman. It was a wicked looking butcher knife, used in the kitchen to prepare the meals to: the Logan woman and her friends. The Made was exceedingly sharp, and quite capable of inflicting the two largo gashes which brought death to the keeper of the roadhouse. n the six-inch blade were se ( ral drops of blood, which were care fully dissolved off by Coroner Swantz, and microscopically examined. Dr. Swantz stated after his examination that the blood was from the veins of a human being. Cinl I'iiigeipiints. On the handle were several fingerprints, which will be examined today by the So.ith J.end police department fingerprint experts. ly this means, it is hoped that the identity of the murderer of the unfortunate woman can be discovered, and his arrest accomplished. The fact that the knife was found downstairs. 4 0 fo.t from the spot where the woman was discovered lying in a pool of her own blood Saturday afternoon, precludes any idea that she met death at her own hands, and makes premeditated murder th-i only plausible explanation of her death. According to Dr. Swantz. it would have been a physical impossibility for the woman to have inflicted the cuts with the knife while downstair.:, and then t raved the distance to her bedroom. The fact that nothing was found in die death room with which the woman could have killed herself bears out the murder theory. Another Clue. Another fact substantiating the murder theory was furnished b,y a. friend of the dead woman, who knew something of her habits and characteristics. The love of the Logan woman for her nine white poodle dogs, who were in the house at the time the murder was committed, led her to some stra:i-e ideas about them. One of the peculiar things abc-.;i the treatment of h'r pets was that on no occasion did she ever allow all of th-j dogs to ran together. Tour of the poodles, wh seem- d to be her particula- pets, were always kept separate from the other live. Saturday afternoon, when th body was discovered, all of the doy.- were running Jt lars;e downstairs. It is probable that when the murderer went into the kitchen to place the knife on the- kitehen table, he left the door between thi kitchen and sitting room open. This door was never left, open by Cora Logan, or by anyone who know of her strange idea, about keeping the drs separatee. J ind Knife am! Ax. A penknife picked up in the front sitting ro m of the house, and in old 1 axe lounc in a shed in the rir of! the premises, were tlie only other! possible v capons found Sunday. Loth '

Never in our history have we sold so many blankets as the last 10 davs. Hundreds of customers have crone awav satis

of these were not regarded by the authorities as possible implements of murder, as the penknife was too small to cut the deep gashes on the body of the woman, and the axe did not have a sharp enough edge to make the wounds. Traces of blood were found on the axe edge, but examination proved that this was chicken blood. Find X( Valuables. The authorities failed to find any money or jewels in the house, although it is believed that the Logan woman had a small amount of mone.y and ft number of valuable jewels in her possession as late as Thursday night. Clarence Flack, who Sunday night reiterated the claim that he drove Cora Logan around South Lend Thursday afternoon states that at that time she had at least $3.00. During her prosperous days, when the Logan woman was getting rich from her traffic in girls, she bought a number of valuable jewels, including at least two diamond rings. The most of tiiese she kept during her later life, although some1 of the jewelry, including two bracelets, were stolen from her while she was an inmate of the resort near Krnsperger st. None of these articles could be found alter the murder. Her hands, which were always covered with rings, were bare, while the search for the rings in the death room and other parts of the house were fruitless. "Dope" i, Fount. pn the woman's dresser was found an empty box, which formerly contained L'5 half-grains of morphine. Investigations- conducted Sunday disclosed the fact that the woman was a heavy user of the drug. Several physicians of tlie city were persuaded by her to furnish the prescriptions for morphine, thinking that it was for a ieu'itimate use. When, growing suspicious of tlie woman, a do. tr would refuse to give her any more prescriptions, she would go to another for the drug to which was addicted. On the same table which contained the morphine was found a card bearing the inscription "Iceland Crifiieid." This is believed to be the name of one of the men who ware in the habit of frequenting the place. Another clue to the identity of one of the habitues of the resort was found in one of the memorandums in Cora Logan's cash account. On tho pa-re for April 1 l'.lo. was found the item, ' Hit ? 1 .", for medicine for Mr. .;re"n." Look for Lou r. Kfforts are being made to discover whether or riot Cora Logan had a sweetheart with whom she might hae quarreleu, leading up to the murder. Some doubt still exists as to the exact time at which the woman met her death. The condition of the body would indicate that she had b-eii dead for several days, as suliiricnt decay had occurred to cause part of the scalp and hair to stick to the .lo. r of the room when the body was picked up and placed in the basket by the undertaker.. That she was still alive on Thursday afternoon, however, is stroimly claimed by Clarence Flack, the taxi driver, who says he drove the Logan woman from in front of the American express office to the Krause meat market on Lrr.eriek st. and returned about 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
