There have been no new developments In the Shade murder case. The coroner has closed the case, so far as he is con cerned, by returning a verdiot that the murdered man came to his death by a gun shot wound inflicted by some party or parties unknown. As the matter stands at present the case is somewhat similar to the Nelson murder cas* in 1683. A few bones, a set of false teeth, a woman's hair and some female apparel were found in a ravine near St. Mary's The skull was fractured, indicating that a murder had been committed. No clue to the murder could be- found, and a verdict similar to that in the Shade case was returned. About a month later an in surance policy was found in an old stump near where the boaes were found. It waa made out in favor of Susanna Nelson, of Anderson, this state. An in vestigation followed. Mrs. Nelson was traced to Indianapolis in company with a man named Perry Mania, who was shortly afterwards captured in Illinois and brought back to this city. He was tried for the murder, received a life sentence, and a few years ago died in the penitentiary. It is an old saying that "murder will out," and it is to be hoped that the rtystery which now surrounds the killing of Shade will soon be cleared away, and that the guilty one will receive a just punishment for the crime.
