Clinton News -Record September 29th, 1 10 Will the Murder of Lizzie Anders son of Goderich Remain a Bila sterg Goderich, Ont., Sept. 26. --As the hours since the finding of the dead body of 17 -year-old Lizzie Anderson lengthen, themystery surrounding her death gradually deepens. The awful butchery is the sole topic of converse - Non in Godericli and the surrounding country. The family of the victim is well known and the girl herself was employed by several families here as a nursemaid. The crime was a most cold-blooded and brutal affair. That two men Were implicated is the theory of the police. So far, however, there is no clue to the perpetrators. Im- portant evidence may or may apt be adduced at the inquest, which will be resumed to -morrow evening in the 'town Hall. The full particulars re- garding the discovery of the girl's body came to light only to -day.\ She attended' the Agricultural Fair Tues- day and was last seen alive at ten minutes to eight in the evening. A four days' search terminated yesterday morning in the discovery of her body by her father in the cellar of an old unused house in the rear of the fair grounds fronting a road which is e-- tensively used by farmers driving to and from Goderieju. The condition of the victim's body when found indicates that she was beaten unmercifully be - tore her throat was cut,, and after her clothing had been torn from her body she was dragged over the stones on the cellar floor. That one person could manage to e,e ill-treat the girl is out of all question according to the views of Inspector Greer and the local police. On 1lw child's forehead appears a heavy bruise, while her arias and body are. scarred .and +scratched, showing that 'she either was stenned or tripped before she was taken into the cellar, The house in which the murder was committed stands about twenty feet back from the main- road. The windows are all boarded up, as the premises have been vacant since: the death • of Mrs. Edvrafrds who (lyre( there. On. the north side of the house is a 'small plot of land once used, as.a garden, but now overgrown ..with burdocks. At -the rear Is- an old well, while on the south side ie the entrance to the -low, dark cellar where the girl was murdered Tlit girl hail - been carried or dragged through the burdocks north of the house; some of the burrs were found. adhering to her stockings. She did not • get these burrs while walking through the fields or along the "road' leading trent the' fair ground:, .to the house, because'io burdocks grew there. In order to enter the collar it was necessary for even a short "person.. to stoop very low, as the rafters of the (riling are only about fire fret_ above the 'unpaved floor; i t ,is certain, that the nursemaid was carried into this place unconscious of her surroundings and leer approaching. death. - :It is also unite evident that the girl made no struggle _after entering the place, Oth- erwise the atonies of the .floor of the cellar would Haile been more dh'iturbcd and her hands would .have. borne' ' evi- dence of•tlie fact. But they were clean 'and not a drop of bleed fell .on her hands or body. .'As, she lay on the: stones on :the West 'side of the . hole, for it is scarcely more than .a dark, damp root .ceiler, her throat was :cut with a; penknife. 'tire .gash is about' two: Welles. deep and e tends from the' muscle, 'of the right ear. about half-' way across the throat. With the same sinal'( blood-stained knife. with which the girl had been killed the clothing was cut front her body and piled " in two. bundles on the ground. The girl's :father almost stumbled over ,the ltody. of his daughter as he entered the eel- lar. 'rhe search had brought to light One "of the blackest crimes in the lu st- ory of t•he.province. The body was taken to -anundertak- ing: establish,m,.mt, and Coroner Dr. Holmes •empaneled a. jury for the pur- pose of. holding an `inquest. A guard •was - placed atthe- abandoned house, and ' thce arrival of Inspector Greer awaited. At 21 o'clock this morning the. -jury viewed- t.he'remaius, . and at 3oclock visited the scene of :Hie -mute e nt n r der accompanied by Insjiector Greer and Chief Postlethwaite. A thorough seat h ofi the house and grounds' was made without result. tt was hoped that .a knife would' be -found' hidden in the( cellar, but .' no knife was there. Crowe; Attorney Seager was on hand -and carefully noted all developments. Since the discovery of the murder many theories have been advanced as. to the cause and perpetrators of the horrible crime. Edward Jardin a young pian who is well-known nn the 'locality, saw Lizzie Anderson at the fair grounds at 7.30 Tuesday, and gave her fifteen cents with which to pur- chase her supper. She .told him, at the time that she was hungry and had no money. At 6 o'clock .on the same evening, Willie Anderson, 16 years old, . r. saw his sister :on the fait i,Iottnds, when she told bine jibe would be going home at about' 9 o'clock. Ile told her to Wait for him and they would go together. At . 9 o'clock 1w was at the main entrance to thegrounds, and when his sister did not appear he watched the e rowds as they left, thinking 5-wouldhe there, but at 10.30, when,she failed to appear, he thought she had gone home and left the grounds, ' Tie walked to Saltford, which is some distance from the fair grounds, and upon reaching home learned that his sister had not arriv- ed. _ The story of what took place that evening was thus ton by Ander- son and his wife, "As soon as Willie came home," he said ,a nd I.I9:ii r vas not with. him I thought she might have decided to Colborne stay at' theC.olbotnc Ilcrtel in coder- ; ick with her sister who works there. Aly wife and Willie and myself walked • in to Ciotierieh and went right to the hotel only to find that Liziie had not been there. 'l'h,'n we walked to Jar- dibe'e house and I woke Mrs. Jardine, who said the boys had not got home yet, as they were sleeping in a tent'." When asked ff he had any suspicions. as to who killed his daughter Ander- son replied. "I think Beattie did it." Wha Beat:rcr is, or • where he lives, the old man would not say. Mrs. Ander- son corroborated her husband. The Andersons, who are laboring people, live in an old hotel, where three Ita- lian laborers board with them. These Italians assisted in the search for the missing girl. They were put tough a,searching examination by Mr. veer, but no suspicion is entertained that they know who committed thel murd- er. From Saltford Mr. Greer went to Jardine's house, where Edward Jar- dine, who sa'w Lizzie at the fair grounds, was closely examined . and his statements recorded. Jardine said lie slept in the house and not in the tent on the night of the girl's tris- appearance. I Goderich, Sept. 27th.-- An in, quest was opened . to -night • by Coroner Holmes into the death of 28 - year -old Lizzie Andersoti ' whose nude body.with throat cut, Was found in the basement of an unoccupied house Sun- day morning, after shelled been miss- ing several days. Nine witnesses were heard, including the parents, brother and sister of the dead girl, Mrs. Jar -- dine and her four sons, Edward, Al- bert, Charles and Thomas; and .Maine Spatore, the Italian who boards at the Anderson home. The evidence of the Jardine . family was. contradictory as to I;a's move- ments' on the fatal Tuesday night. His mother insisted that he and his broth- er had slept' in a. tent outside the house that night; the boys said that they had slept 'in the 'house; Ed. and. Thomas agreed that they at least had after arising, gone to the tent - for another rest, while Charles.. said he didn't. think they had. Mrs. Jardine and ('liarles said Ed. had had supper at home that night, while Ed. insisted he had lilac:lick at the fairground with Charles • . 'Adjournment was -made at a late - hour, until -Oct. 5. - .No other headway toward solution of the mystery was made to -day, be- yond it being practically proven, from !p persons who had' seen her at the fair grounds, that she was •alive at 10 • o'-, clock tile night she disappeared, while -Mrs, 4i)onald Buchanan'. and • tier moth- er, ,Mrs, J. Milton, who live only -a shorn distance It•oni the scene' of trag- ede, state 'that they heard screams that. night between i i and 12 o'clock, They twice heard screams about five. minutes apart. .. • Goderich, ,Sept. •27.—Shortly after last midnight,: after . the inquest into • the circumstances ;ntrrounding •the death of Lizzii• Anderson had been ;idjoeirncd until next Wednesday, Inspector Greer ante' Chief Postle- t•hwaite went to .Brophy'o undertaking establishment, where the girl's clothes. are being 'kept, fer the purpose • of comparing • the blood on a ' blanket found in Swartz's Livery 'with .' the blood found on- the clothing:worn br Lizzie.

Their report was not. read. at the inquest which lasted froire.7 me - ti' after midnight. Nothing' of a. sen- sational character developed ..at .the: investigation. 'Several of the Jardine brothers were examined and they. all told different stories as to:their move- ments on the night of the murder. • Goderich, Sept, 23.—The murder of Lizzie Anderson bids fait to loo clown as one of'tlie. unsolved tuysteriirs in the criminal annals of 'Ontario and the re- gret that is felt is all the.greatet' now from the unspeakable horrible Charac- ter of the crime. The authorities have gone to the bot- tom of the incidents•of the buggy that was taken out of the livery stable at 10.30 o'clock On the night of the crime and returned at 3.30 o'clock, the fol- lowing morning With one of the wool lap rugs covered with blood, but they say that this has no connection what- ever with the murder. Medical Examination.. The medical examination however, has brought out some interesting farts. Dr. (hallow and Dr. Macklin, ofGoderich, andDr.(lune of Clinton, began the post-mortem at 5 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon and worked tilt 10 o'clock, when they got supper and went isunw- diately to the vacant hou;ee on the, in- ternational road back of the Pair grounds, in the cellar of which the body of the unordered girl was found. They snarl an hour there and returned to Ilrophy's undertaking rooms where they continued their study "of the ease till two o'clock in the morning.
