AX ABORTIVE CONSPIRACY,
If there is anything certain in sportini;
matters nowadays it is certain that hase-ball.
as conducted under the auspices of the clubs
comprising the National .League, is utlerij’
tree from crookedness and fraud, and that
all League games are played on their merits.
If for no other reason than tiiis, the League
deserves to live and occupy an honorable
place in the annals of American sports and
pastimes. Vet in spite of the safeguards
and preventives contrived to protect and pre
sene the game from the encroachments of
jramblers and thieves, and in spite of the se
vere penalties reicntlesly imposed tor every
departure from honorable conduct on the part
of players in League Clubs, there are to be
found rascals ready to tempt players from
tlie path of rectitude by the otter of pecuni
ary gain. A case in point has just come to
notice through Pinkerton’s Detective
Agency, which, by a vote ot the League at
its last annual meeting, is intrusted with the
work of ferreting out any and all crooked
ness, performed or attempted, that shall
occur in connection with League champion
ship games or players. The unprincipled
scoundrel who figures as tne tempter in litis
instance is a man occupying a creditable and
responsible position in a Chicago business
house, while the player tempted is none other
than John Clapp, the square-toed and incor
ruptible Captain and manager ot the Cleve
land team. About three weeks ago Clapp
received at Cleveland a letter, of which the
following is a literal copy:
LETTER KO. L
Chicago, May 7,lßSL—Fkiekd John: Please
excuse me for writing you, but I want a little
business. I used to know you when you was in
Sr, Louis, ana now you probably don’t remera
ner me. But now lam willing to do something
for you. X want you to win tho Monday's yams
sure with the Chicago, and if you do win 1 will
send you (SIOO.OO dollars! cue hundred dollars.
I shall bet $300.00 on Monday’s game on the
Clevelands between Cleve. and Chi, I bet on
Clevelands. Xow win for me. Johnnie, and I
will send yon 100 dolL The belting will be 10 to
7, Chicago the fa vorits, so I can afford to give up
a hundred, which 1 will send to you on Wednes
day a. m. sure. Xowyou lix it with the boys to
win sure, and you shall have tho money sure.
Now ao the best you can, and remember its a
hundred for yon if you win, sure, and I will
send the money by express, same direction that
1 send the letter. You remember, now.
J. W. Watson.
LETTER XO. 2
was written three days Inter, and is an inter
minably long screed covering six closely-writ
ten sheets of note paper, Ju this letter, dated
May 10, tho young man gives himself away ab
solutely, revealing bis true name and business
connection. He uses tbo stationers* of his em
ployer, beaded “Office of Bankrupt Store, 184
and lSt> State street (opposit Palmer House).”
He explains how it was that he failed to forward
the SIU) promised in his drst letter by saying;
, “I have been dun up, Uobcd of out $725.00.
And now*, Johnnie, please nave pachunts and
listen till I tell you the whole thing."
Thcu follows a long-winded varn about bow
he was “Robed” out of s4o7'by a young man
named 44 Dowling,” who works in a gambling
house, and whom Woodruff sent with his pool
tickets to get them cashed, and then to place
the whole amount on Chicago In the Saturday
game; but the young man ••collared the
boodle,” and men pretended to have misunder
stood tho instructions and to have plaved tho
money on Cleveland Instead,—:! very stale trick
and gauzy explanation, eurelv. Woodruff
assures Clapp that “Dowling” was “a
Baskel & lilacKleg”; that “a biger
cut Throught & Thief never lived.”
But he is very anxious Clapp should think him
“ alright,” and sure to pay that slou, “ and many
others 100.00 before this season is over.” He is
going to win $3,000 this season, and Clapp shall
have bis share. He reminds John of where be
made his acquaintance,—some years ago, wheu
Clapp played m St. Louts,—and to show how
square he is he incloses the pool ticket? with
which bo was swindled by “Bowling,” and al«o
incloses his (Woodruff’s) note of hand, promising
to pay John Clapp SIOO.OO six months from date.
May 10, and signed “J. S. Woodruff.” In the
same inclosure was a cipher to be used bv Clapp
In giving pointers to guide him in betting.
trunk at once” was the message when
Cleveland was to win. and “ Can’t go this week ”
when the visiting club was to win. He lays out
his program thus:
“I will play you strong to win the first game
with the Bostons. 1 think you will lose the last
game with Providence."
He is willing, however, to be guided by Clapp,
and closes by saying: “The day 1 receive the
telegram, that day I will play as you say."
THE NEXT MESSAGE
Clapp received was dated “Thursday p. m.,"
and announced that “ 1 have plaid you to loose
to day tor 35 doll only, fori did not hear from
you.* But he gives notice that he is going to
~ play you to win the first Boston game; so vou
play that day, and do your best too. I sbalfput
In about 2 or 3 hundred." If he “knocks
out a few dollars "he will take up that note. He
Is going to play Cleveland to “loose ” the second
game with Boston, and then he can send the
«KW immediately. “ 1 would like rather to have
you loose one with the Troys," he says, and if
things go right Ciapp can - make £3OO next week
or so.
ANXIOUS AND UNEASY
* May 14 is the date of the next epistle, which is
written upon deep-edged mourning paper, with
envelope ot the same style. He explains that
ho “ writes on this paper for a stiff." He begins
by saying; “Now 1 can’t get a word from vou,
ana 1 wjsb you would write and let me know
something. 1 enclose a telegram for you to
ecud me, and if you think it alright send it and
I will scud 2 hundred A* Filtv Doll. Tuesday."
The telegram inclosed lor Clapp to send is on a
»> estern Union blank, and reads as follows:
.£ y* V . KL : K ‘ N • V.** ~7~' J- iroMn/*, Ist and
J&» state tlrccu Bankrupt Store, Chicago, 111.: Can't co
this week. Cl a it \
This was to show that Cleveland would
“loose ’ Monday’s game with the Bostons. Being
a little nervous aboutClapp’s prolonged silence,
he urges him to send baek those pool tickets in
closed hi a former letter, ns he thinks he can
settle chat deal and get £IOO out of it.

GRKATLY ENCOURAGED.
The receipt of the above seems to have en
couraged Woodrutf greatly, for he promptly re
plied on the -4th of May. Following are some
extracts from the letter;
••Dkaii Fuiknp John: Yours just received.
Now I had given up all hopes of hearing from
vou at all, and am glad at last to get in with you.
Obi 1 could of made 5.U00.00 Doll here on
Boston games with you. Vou were selling
choice here in pools, rale 10 to 7 and 10 tod. 1
did not touch but one, and lost 75.(W; so kept off
of It, as could not hear anything from you.
Now John, Worcesters will be splendid to nip
them on. They will be selling about even. Now
if you could manage to loose lirst game, win
second, and loose third, I can knock out S3OO
anyway. Now of course what Ido 1 will divide
equal and bo square with vou.
••Now as for anything with anyone else, I
will say 1 uni not directly; bur. John, even if I
were 1 could not tell you under no circum
stances. As to meeting your friends hero, I
have no objections meeting them; but ns to
Business, I think it is not ail advisable. This
little Business is purely and squarely between
you and me, and no one In God s world knows
anything of it but you and me.
••Now you can trust me with your life. Why,
at time of Louisville Exposition [the Devlin-
HalLCramcr matter] 1 could of send 3 men that
were not thought anything about at all, and
they were us deep in the mire as anyone; but I
bad nothing to say, although 1 hud lost 1.500 dob
lars on a Blunder of one of thorn, and they are
llrst-cluss men to-day, but 1 have not ap
proached one of them. Vou I have wanted for
2years. Now wo are all right if you will only
work it right and be sure you do as you say.
•• As to my giving you any other games, I
can't, for I have to guess thorn. 1 am working
and trying to catch onto a man in Chicago here,
butits hard; but if 1 do I’ll give you wbut points
1 cun; but don’t ask me for any names, for that
1 cannot give.”
The enterprising manager of the Bankrupt
Store then proceeds to say what be wants done
with the Worcester games in Cleveland,— 4 * loose
first, win-2d, & loose 3d.” He thinks he can do
something when the Clevelands go East, and is
sure he can made some money if Cleveland will
••loose” the first game with Troy. He is par-
Ucular, however, to caution Clapp to be sure be
is going to win. •* for its easy to loose and not so
easy to win always.” He hopes to see John and
get better acquainted when he comes to Chicago,
and m the meantime subscribes himself **your
true friend Jim.”
Getting anxious for 44 pointers,” the wily dry
goods man sent the following telegrams:

claw's LAST LKTTEIt.
The last section of the correspondence is com
prised In the subjoined letter, delivered in per
son to Woodruff yesterday by William A. Pink
erton, Superintendent of tho Chicago Agency:
“ Cleveland. 0., May 2(s.—James S. U’oodnijT,
E&i,: This will introduce Mr. W. A. Pinkerton,
referred to in ray letter of the 23d. He will
make himself known to you before he is done
with the interview*. Having now introduced my
friend. I would like to say a word for myself.
All your letters to me were turned over to Mr.
Evans, President of our Club, as soon as re
ceived, and by his advice and direction my letter
to yon of the 23d was written, in the hope that
your dishonest schemes might be fully devel
oped and counteracted. As you are well aware,
I* am a professional ball-player, and have
followed ibis hue of business for tho past
twelve years, and have received for my services
a good salary. During inis time I have wit
nessed tho downfall of several good ball-play
ers, caused by just such men os you; they are
now suffering, and 1 am glad of tho opportunity
to expose such a dishonest character us you
have proven yourself to be by offering to bribe
me. lam very glad you have selected me as
your victim, as J am able to withstand all such
temptations. You say you have been “trying for
two years to get me.” 1 am glad
you have devoted so much time to me. for bad
the same amount been expended on others you
mlyht have succeeded iu injuring some poor
fellow, as well as tho popular game of base-ball.
I would advise you In tho future to attend to
your legitimate business and give up experi
menting with honest ball-payers. Mr, Pinker
ton will express 10 you ray feeling in tho matter
more fully than I have done, as I feel myself
unable to do the subject justice.
John E. Clapp.
When Mr. Pinkerton called Woodruff was en
gaged in his duties as manager of the bankrupt
store, and the visitor quietly waited until he was
at liberty, und then presented the above “ letter
of introduction." Woodruff expressed great
pleasure at meeting a friend of his friend in
Cleveland, but by the time he reached that por
tion showing that his game was up and bis ras
cality exposed be turned ns pale sis death, and
begged bis visitor “ for God's sake to talk low
er, lest the people in the store should overhear.
Later in tne alternoon Woodruff visited the
Pinkerton Agency on Pitth avenue, and begged
and implored that the affair be kept from the
press, us its publication would ruin his business
reputation. To all this Mr. Pinkerton returned
but one reply,—that he hud been employed to
work up this exposure, and that it was no
part of his duty o»* Inclination to shield tho
wrong-doer from the full consequences of his
rascality. Mr. Pinkerton made an effort to as
certain whether Woodruff really knew anything
about crookedness in connection with tho Chi
cago Club, but was convinced that the man had
lied in insinuating to Clapp that be knew a Chi
cago player who be was trying to tamper with.
Amongtho mass of correspondence turned
over was a letter received in Chicago last year
by Clapp when present in this city us Cap
tain of the Cincinnati team, propos
ing to bribe him by an offer of £SU to
“ beat them Chieagos,” and to send the
money to tho Trcmont House immediately after
the game. Thesimilarity of handwritlng'and of
tho forms of expression proves conclusively that
this letter, though signed “C. C. Case." was
written by this man Woodruff.
Woodruff s case will probably be laid before
the Grand'Jury of the Criminal Court with a
view to procuring an indictment for bribery and
attempted conspiracy. If there is any law cov
ering his case he will be given tho full benefit
of it.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The effect of last week’s play has been to
change the standing of nearly all the clubs.
It has brought Chicago to the front, with a
lead of two games, set Worcester back to a
tie with Buffalo for second place, enabled
Cleveland to pass both Boston and Provi
dence, and Detroit to reach and tie Boston
and Providence in games won. The Western
teams have carried off all the honors, Boston
losing three games at Detroit, Worcester
three at Cleveland, and Providence two at
Chicago. This week will bring together
Chicago and Tioy at Troy, Detroit and
Worcester at Worcester, Cleveland and Bos
ton at Boston, and Buffalo and Providence
at Providence. The position of the different
clubs at the close of yesterday’s play was as
follows:

CHARLIE SXYDBR’S FAIR ADMIRER.
At the Chicago-Boston game last Tuesday
there sat iu the grand stand a party of two
ladies and one gentleman, whose sympathies
were wholly Bostonian. An unknown scribe
sat near them, and, unobserved by them,
took notes of their conversation, which, be
ing quite amusing, is presented to the read
ers of The Tiuhuxe verbatuni.
The Bostons went to the field and the game
began. One of the ladies was evidently ac
quainted with the gentlemanly (?) catcher
of the “ Pets of Murray Hill,” and expressed
herself as follows:
“Oh! there’s Charlie Snyder catching; he’s
just lovely. I know Charlie Snyder well; he
always comes to see me when he’s in town,
Charlie Snyder does; he’s j ust lovely, Charlie
Snyder is.
A pause of a moment while “ Dal ” made
a base hit
“ Oh! ain’t that mean? I think its just too
horrid. Charlie Snyder don’t like it, 1 know.
Just see that pitcher! Whitney, that’s bis
name; he sends in an awful hard ball;
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: • SUNDAY, MAY 29, 1881—TWENTY PAGES.
Charlie Snyder says so. They don’t think
Charlie Snyder can catch for him all the sea
son, hnfc Charlie Snyder says ho can.”
Another pause, while the Chicago’s wont
to the held.
Those are all reporters down there. I
Know that red-headed one down there. He’s
on the Telegraph, I think. I hate that Trib
une reporter; so does Charlie Snyder,”—
remembering she had not mentioned his
name for one minute.
“ Last Saturday we sat right down there,
and 1 wanted to ‘sass ’ that nnslity Tribune
reporter awful had. lie said Charlie Snyder
stepped on the ball, mid Charlie Snyder said he
didn't: then he said tic did, ami Charlie Snyder
told him he wasn’t there to 4 empire ’ the game,
—he was there to report, ana had better mind
his own business.—that’s what Charlie Snyder
said. Then the reporter put (bat horrid thing in
the nastily paper about Charlie Snyder. I think
that reporter is. real horrid nashty, i do. Charlie
Snyder is a real nice gentleman, Charlie Snyder Is.
I know Charlie Snyder's family, and they are real
nice people. I tel’l Charlie Snyder he’s too nice
to play bull, hut Charlie Snyderonly laughs, and
says he’s going to slop someday, but he wont, I
know. He’s real nice, Charlie Snyder is.”
By chi* time the Boston* a cre again In the
field.
••There’s Charlie Snyder catching again. Do
you know the Boshtons bought some slockin’s,
and they were so heavy that Charlie Snyder
could not wear them, so Charlie Snyder bought
u lighter pair, mid they ripped, mid Charlie
Snyder asked me to mend them, and 1 did. lie’s
tin awful nice fellow, Charlie Snyder is. That’s
Anson (jutting; ain’t ho awful big? They call
him * Baby.’ Ain’t he awful fat? ”
A pause, while the Chicago* scored up three
runs and rook the field.
••Look at that pitcher [Goldsmith], ain’t his
Jcct awlul fat? He’s real good-looking, but 1
think he’s awful fat. He’s a good pitcher, but
he’s awful fat. He’s real nice, but he’s got such
fat feet. He isn’t as good-looking as Charlie
Snyder, though. 1 think Charlie Snyder is real
nice-looking, don’t you?
•*1 wish Charlie Snyder would look up here. I
like to see Charlie Snyder laugh. He’s got such
white teeth, Charlie Snyder has. He’s so nice,
Charlie Snyder is. 1 think Charlie Snyder is the
best-looking one in the Bostons, don’t you?
Charlie Snyder says he’s as black us a negro be
fore the season Is over, Charlie Snyder is; iho
sun burns him so, but he’s just lovely, Charlie
Snyder is.”
At this point the scribe’s paper gave out, and
ho was forced to stop: but the conversation was
kept up in this strain tor six innings, the fair
admirer asserting every moment that Charlie
Snyder was •* real nice.” After standing it for
six innings the writer was able, with the assist
ance of :i triend who came down to speak to
him between innings, to roach a mure secluded
spot, and by rno end of the game was able to
walk to the cars and reach home, only to pass
a wretched night dreaming of **Charlie Sny
der.”
CLEVELAND VS. WORCESTER.
Special Dispatch to T7ie Chicago Tribune,
Cleveland, 0., May2S.—Cleveland earned
its third victory from Worcesters to-day bv
tremendous batting. Every one of the home
nine except Smith made one or more hits,
while the visitors did not score Gut one hit
till the latter part of the game.* McCormick
himself made three hits, one of them a three**
baser, and his running of bases probably
wearied nim and affected his pitching, for
the Worcesters managed to earn a few bases
toward the end of the contest. Their only
run was scored by Bushong in the eighth in
ning on singles by himself, Stovey, and Dick
erson, and a wild throw by McCormick.
Both nines played a line fielding game,
Glasscock especially distinguishing himself. In
the second inning he made a lino one-band stop
of Irwin’s low grounder, and lidded totlrstin
lime. Clapp in left held, after taking Dorgun's
long lly, made a wonderful throw to Phillips at
llrsc base, and cut off Dickerson's return.

and Troys played magnificently to-day, lilt

Up to the seventh inning the local men had
the best of it. wheu a muff and a terrific wild
tltrpw b3* Galvin enabled the visitors to tie
the game. In the next inning slow fielding
by the same player yielded Gillespie two
bases, and a single brought him home. Rich
ardson made a brilliant catch of a long hit in
the second, with the bases full, and'threw
the ball to Peters, who fielded to Foley, ex
tinguishing a player who was too far away
from Ins base. Morrissey lias gone home
owing to continued poor health, and will not
probably play any more this season. Xo one has

A shadow of deep mystery has surrounded
Smith, the “California giant*' who was engaged
by the Clevelands, but who tailed to show up at
the opening of the season, and after coming as
far East as Chicago is reported to have gone
back to the “ glorious climate.” His repeated
requests for bis release were entirely ignored
by the Cleveland management, who wore any
thing but satisfied with his conduct. Xow comes
a letter from the Detroit management wanting
to know If Cleveland will grant him his release,
saying he has agreed to play In that city If
Cleveland will give its consent. This, of course,
Cleveland will refuse to do, and Mr. Smith will
have to explain his Strange conduct to tbo satis
faction of the management here before he gets
a chance to play In any of the League clubs.—

A HEADLESS CORPSE.
Ghastly Discovery in the Woods
Near Winnetka.
The Head Found on the Beach Some
"Weeks Ago,
Nothing Known of the Murdered Man or
of His Murderers.
Friday afternoon 'Gardner West: the 12-ycac
old son of Mr. James U. ‘West, of Lakeside, went
out bird's-nesting iu the forest land which lies
between the railroad-track and Lake Michigan,
just north of the suburb of Wlnnelku, and
which, after their recently deceased proprietor,
have been dubbed Hubbard’s Woods by the in
habitants. His occupation was of a kind which
led him into all sorts of curious places, a partic
ularly impervious patch of forest tangle being,
as the young hunter well knew, iho most likely
place in which to hit upon the object of his
quest. Ho hud quartered here and there among
the woods, when at a point near
where the Green Buy road a short
distance south of Lakeside, which is
just north of Wmnctkn, chances its northerly
course to one almost due west, ho sun’ a most
desirable spot for his investigations. About
fifty feet north from the road, alongside which
at this point rises n neglected osage hedge,
stood an ash-tree at whose base was a dense
tangle of wild currant hushes,—so flense that
even when tho lad ticurcd them ho could hardly
distinguish light upon the other side of them.
As he neared tho spot lie was surprised to fin 1 a
swarm of tiles arise from It, but this fact did not
deter him from pursuing his researches, iic
pushed tho bushes apart and peered in, when,
instead of a welcome bird’s nest, his intent
sight was arrested by the appariiiou of
A HEADLESS CORPSE
stretched along the ground. Fascinated for a
moment by rbo horrible sight, the boy took a
long look at tho dreadful object, and then
dusucd oil' in the direction ot borne. His course
took him to leeward of tho corpse, when be be
came aware of tho fact that the air was heavily
minted with foul exhalations. This hurried him
up, and he soon arrived at his father’s house.
Mr. West heard his story and, having communi
cated It to some of tho neighbors, a party started
otT some time later in tho evening ana verified
it by tho discovery of tho headless horror just us
tho lad had described It.
The bushes were pushed aside and tho figure
of the man revealed to the full light of tho sun.
It lay so that, were the head still attached to tho
bodv.it must have rested upon tho swelling base
of the tree os upon a pillow. It rested upon its
back, tho bands lying by the sides and the feet,
wnlch reached ueartyjto the end of tho tangle,
were turned outward*. What was, under tho
circumstances, a fairly careful examination of
the body revealed rbe fact that it was that of a
well-built and decently-dressed man. as far as
could be judged by the clothes left upon bim,
which consisted of merely pants, boots, waist
coat, and undershirt. The pants were of dark
cloth of a good quality and the vest, which was
pulled up under the corpse’s shoulders, was of
very line basket cloth. The boots were a very
fair pair of Congress gaiters, but had some
holes in thorn which looked like inten
tional cuts. The pants were in the same
condition, being slushed here and there as if
with a knife. Tho remains were badly decom
posed, much of tho tlesh having been removed
from the bones, and the darkness of decompo
sition was visible wherever the llcsh was ex
posed. The vertebral column, glistening white,
protruded an inch from the neck, which, it was
plain to see. bud been very cleanly cut in two,
not the slightest evidence of nervous hacking
being apparent. Whoever had done tho job bad
accomplished it neatly as well at thoroughly. ‘
Looking lor evidences of a motive fur the
murder which had been committed, tho party
discovered that tho pockets of both tho punts
aud waistcoat of the corpse had been turned in
side out, which at once suggested tho theory
chat the unfortunate wretch had beeu robbed
as well as murdered.
While consulting upon what they had seen,
and building all sorts of theories us to tho cir
cumstances of tho tragedy, tho party suddenly
called to mind that about six weeks previously
a young fellow named Dwyer had discovered
upon the lake shoro
TIIK HEAD OF A MAN,—
a ghastly and putrescent fragment of humnnltv.
At the lime but little attention was paid to tho
mutter, no investigation was deemed necessary,
and too .head was allowed to remain upon tho
beach. The generally received conjecture at
tho time was that the head was that of some
victim of a shipwreck which had been severed
from tho body by doming ice, and washed
ashore. The party remembered that the place
where tho head was discovered was in about a
direct line from the lake to the spot whore the
headless corpse lay. Dylhis line the places
wocre tho head and body were respectively dis
covered was not more than about JWOyards
in length. Upon this strange coincidence
it was not u very dUHcult matter to
form tho plausible theory that the
bead aud tho body hud belonged to the same in
dividual; that he had been murdered in the
woods, and that, in order to destroy the possi
bility of idencilication of their victim, tho mur
derers had removed bis head, earned it to tho
lake shore, and thrown it in. Of course this is
only a theory, but it is perhaps tho most natural
one under tho circumstances. Where tho vic
tim came from is a mystery that will probably
never be found out. lie did not belong to rbo
neighborhood, us nobody is missing there, or has
been within six months, widen is believed by the
people who saw tho corpse to be tho length of
time chat it has been lying in tho woods.
There- can be no doubt that the birds’-oestlng
boy has unearthed
a murder or the most uokhuilk DE
SCRIPTION.
It Is clear that tho tragedy was not the result
of a disagreement amongst tramps. The
clothes of tho victim were ot a quality nut worn
by tho vagabond fraternity, and had he been a
respectable man who fell foul of trumps and
was killed by them they would not have failed
to possess themselves ot Uls superior garments.
.Whether be was killed in tho city and carried by
night to the lonely spot—whether be was lured
thither aud then slain, arc matters of mere con
jecture.
A short time ago a raau named Michnclson,
living at Winneika, found a coat at tho lake
near tho spot where the head was found.
It was suggested that this possibly
was tho remaining undiscovered article of
the man’s suit of clothing, and that the fact that
the man’s waistcoat was bunched up about his
shoulders indicated that he had been dragged by
his feet along the ground to the spot where be
was found. If tho coat did belong to the man
then the murder must have been commuted
much more recently than six months ago. as a
garment of that size could not very well have
remained undiscovered upon a pretty well fre
quented beach for so long a time. There is,
however, no protit In pursuing the many theo
ries that circumstances, which may or may not
have a bearing upon tho case, give rise to. All
that is known about the case has been told, and
there is not the faintest breath of evidence to
tell who tho corpse was, who were his murderers,
and where the foul deed cun have been commit
ted.
A Tribune reporter visited Wlnnetka and
Lakcsdc yesterday aud conversed with Gardner
West, the lad who made tho hideous discovery.
and with other people ot the suburb, tho result
ot which investigations have been given above.
He also visited tho spot whore tho corpse was
found aud, possibly, tho murder committed.
The Green Bay road, nfiernasslngthrough Win
netka and running due south forubout half a
mile, takes a sheer almost at right angles to tho
west. In this direction It runs for about JtfO
yards when it again turns south. In the short
distance where it runs about duo east and west
it is separated from the open by a fence and a
wild-growing osage-hodge whoso dense growth
and sharp prickles oiler an almost impassable
barrier to tho pedestrian. The reporter man
aged to get through It and reached the spot
where
THE HEADLESS HORROR
had been discovered. The ash free was there,
and the tnmrlc: and some few tlics which still
hovered over the place where blood-discolored
foliage of last year still offered them some little
inducement to remain near. Thocorpse, how
ever, had been placed out of sight, and only a
low mound, marked at each end by a piece of
broken branch, remained to tell of the mystc
ridus murder. The Coroner, and the village
doctor, who, by the by, had said that he would
not make u post-mortem examination of tho
corpse for ail Winneiku, and the Coroner's jury
had made their official investigation, and the
foul horror had been placed foreverout of sight.
A GHOST-HUNTER.
110 Solves tlic Sheeted ITlystcry*
At the intersection of Archer avenue and
Dearborn street stands a three-story frame
building which Is on Its way to a, vacant lot.
Several hundred people were attracted to this
structure last evening by tho appearance at Its
upper windows of three ghosts at an hour con
siderably curlier than tho traditional lw o'clock
when such beings are supposed to show them
selves. Jt is not related that any women with
babies la their arras fainted, or that any bravo
men turned while from fear and cowardly
slunk away; but all were on tho tiptoe of curl
osity when tho throe mysterious shades daunted
their white shrouds In the very gentle breeze.
A colored man who is a linn believer in ghosts,
and says be has seen thorn in tho form ot white
rabbits in secluded nooks and of old women in
lonely churchyards, resolved to make a closer
investigation of tho haunted building, and learn
if the three were ghosts or something else. Tho
phantom-hunter mustered bis courage and went
through tho traveling house, bent on having an
interview with tho •• spirits." ilo says ho felt
very “ dubious " while searching tho rooms, but
recovered bis self-possession when a shrouded
personage tlapped Us white sheet in his face,
and revealed to him that tho ghost in tho
white cap, the one in tho sheet. Just from tho
laundry, and the sprite in tne colorless gown
were three boys who wore bent on having a 1U-
tlo fun at the expense of the community. Mr.
colored individual hastily pushed the three boy;
to the window, nntf loudly announced to the ex
cited spectators below that “ them Is no ghosts,
and then retired in irood order, chucklmff to
himself that be alone had bad tbo spunk to peu
otruto the joke.

While Vienna was hurrahing over the recent
Imperial marriage, a poor tailor, the father of
five children, all starving, shut himself up with
them in a room, butchered them, and stabbed
himself. Suspicion having been aroused, the
door of the room was burst open, and the police
found him Just alive, but covered, with blood,
lie sat up lor a moment, glanced at tho live
corpses, and then at « cojre in which a canary
was sinjtlnjf. “Give him to tho janitor,” he re
marked, “otherwise he will starve to death
then ho Jay down and died.
