THE MURDER OF REEKS.
THE POLICE PUZZLED. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright J [United Press Association.] (Received 8.3 U a.in.) Loudon, January 23.
Newspapers continue to give prominence to the Reeks mystery.
The Staffordshire police state that Reeks travelled from Canada under an assumed name. His shoos were so scratched as to suggest that the body was dragged to the pit by his overcoat.
The police are coming to the conclusion that the crime was not the work of a single person. It is suggested that bloodhounds should l)e used to trace the murderers. Cartridge cases found near the body were of an old pattern, being filed to ht a modern weapon. Experts say die cartridges were made abroad. The police are searching for Reeks’ companion, T. H. Ramsden, of Chicago. They appeared to he close friends. Ramsden apparently went to Leeds on Monday and Reeks farewelled ; iiin at the station. FURTHER DETAILS. London, January 23. Reeks had arranged to enter a marne engineering academy, but explained :hat be would not begin for a few days, is he had business to attend to. The spot where the body was found s one of the gloomiest in the Black Country. Great steel works are 300 cards distant, the nearest habitation )eing 500 yards away. The captain of the Grampian, in a tireless message, states that the emigrant aboard denies any knowledge of (looks. Evidently it is a mistake.
