After several days passed suspicions began to be aroused, as Wain- ‘wright was known to be jealous of his wife, and inquiries were made. On Thursday the sheriff and alarge to search. On the road to the Village from Wainwright's house, near a. clump Of woods, a pool of blood wag found and then clots of blood formed a trail, which could be followed until it suddenly ended and wagon tracks began, which led Co the Verge of aswamp.

Both were identified a8 belonging to Wainwright, Both were blood-stained. ‘The starch was renewed Fri- day and Saturday, but nothing was discovered and the mystery was’as deep asever.

Rockwell, since the murder, found Limself notorious on thts ac- count, and demanded a full and thorough investi gation. His house ts situated on the edge of the Swamp above mentioned, and through the morass flows a little stream called Cedar creek. Yesterday ‘a searching party of four men found wagon tracks from RockWell’s little house which led them to the brink of Cedar creek, several hundred yards away. ‘The wagon had been turned around at that point, and had been taken back to the house by another route. As the four men stood on the brink of the creek, they detected an offensive odor, and looking around observed two pleces of hempén cord, such as 1s used for tying shingles. ‘They picked them up and found they were bloody. ‘The muddy water of the creek, for some feet. beyond the brink, was cov- ered with scragey shrubbery. ‘They located the spot from which the offensive odor came, and ing aside the shrubbery discovered a log from un- der which What looked like a man’s arm protruded. ‘The log was rolied away and a human body floated down the stream. ‘The men it the body and made {t fast at the side of the creek. ‘There was not a stitch of clothing on it, and it was in an advanced state of decomposition, "Tt was recognized as that ‘ot Wainwright, who was well known to the search- ers.
