CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—Earl Dean, 14 years of age, was found dead in the kitchen of his mother's flat in Hyde Park last night. | The boy's head and shoulders rested on | a pillow in the oven of a gas range, with the unlighted gas escaping from the burners under it. His hands were tied behind him and his feet were bound with one of his mother's aprons. A handker- chief was knotted loosely about his neck. The fact tht the youth was bound and tha the back door of the flat, in which he was alone, was unlocked, gave rise to a strong suspicion of murder. Nothing in the room: oweter, had been touched. Furthermore, the placing of the cushion | beneath the lad's head was taken as e vi- | dence of preparation for taking his own taken Young Dean lived with his mother, Mrs. Sarah Dean, whose chief support he was. i | He employed in the shipping depart- | | ment of the University of Chicago Press. ——e———— NEW MEXICO EXPERIENCES THIRD TIME NG CARBOLIC ACID ED FOR THE FORCI | HEAVIEST STORM IN YEARS sStockmen Fear Blizzard "Will Cause ND'S EXTR THE OLO FAMILY © w A Ocrog C | The Fact t Pond’s Extract has been market for sixty years, d by the manufacturers made the opent ofense, saying that time that the ju of the prosecuti ac »’s; that Minnie Adar me she is alleged bolic acld, that drug. store, a ACCUSES HER AT CHILD'S BIER. timony yesterday was unimpo d not vary from that on t cts given previously rong, a police officer » went the the woman stood, one ad brought intd the world holy love, used one's defense. d threats to Gray wer tor who sald he saw her | Geary and Devisadero was, according to the schedu rner of Geary and Kearny to the Tyrrel house with night of the little boy’s death, r the dim light of a-lamp, form of the lttle and exchanged glances man charging the woman * usxes on the avges.
