gr Nashville, Tenn, Jan 33.—The
abrorhing topic of conversation and
diopute continues to be the mutilated
boa/ lound a few da/s ago in that
pan of the city known as •‘Hell’s
Half Acre.” The latest alleged clue
is a statement In the Cincinnati Sun,
which toy* that a lady named Mrs.
John E. Taylor, of that city,believes
the hody'o be that of a cousin of
here from Montreal, named Robert
Martin. A city detective who has
been working up the caae believes
a woman to he implicated in (he
crime, either as an accessory or wit
ness. This on the supposition that
the man was discovered in a dive by
aomn jealous lover,or that be became
involued in a free fight in such a
Bouse, was killed and the body car-
ried away to prevent discovery.
Other* believe that the reason why
the bead.was cut ofFand hid wasthat
the muraeredman was a well known
character in that locality end his at
rocities of general recognition, and
that if he bad been found murdered
suspicion would have rested on his
associates. This on tke supposition
that his associates were the criminals.

church.
Biron was formerly a priest in
Germsny. Soma months ago he

that it was burned or thrown Into

to the identity of the murdered man
can be seea at a glance.
The discovery of the first genuine
clue happened thus: Mr. Gras, of
the combs ettablishinent,opened the
hand of the man and found what
proved to be a lock of hair from the
head at a negro. It was black and
‘■kinky,” and had been worn by a
negro beyond a doubt. The palm
was Iscerated and the lock was bur-
ied in the flesh. This proved thst
the deceased bad grappled with his
negro assailents, or oue of them,
after his hand had been cut, and
thst he had seised him bv the head
and pulled out a lock of hair in the
death struggle.

whose parallel Davison county has
