Jim Hone Supposed
to be Coniiett's is Found.
The hunt for the body of Vernon
Connett, supposed to have been mur
dered, is still being prosecuted, but as
yet no definite clow to tho murder has
boon obtained,. Tuesday forenoon the
lower JaW bono of a man was found
at tho edge of the South Platte river
about two miles west of Birdwood sid
ing. Tho jaw is in a good state of
preservation and several well pre
served teeth arc still tightly set.
There is evidence that the Jaw had
been burned. Near tho spot whoro It
was found there wore remnlns of n
camp-fire, and some articles of wear
ing npparol. Nearby Is an irrigation
lateral which Is unite deep, and there
Is a trail showing that a wagon had
been bncked to the bank. This lends
to the supposition that tho dead body
of Connett was in the wagon, that it
had been enrried from the wagon to
tho bank of the river, at least partial
ly burned and tho remains burled In
the river bed, as there was no water
in tho river nt tho time of tho disap
pearance of Connett. How tho jaw
became detached from the skull is
problematical, and of course ninny
thcqrjes nro advanced.
The fathers and brothers of tho
missing man rotumed to their re
spective homes Wednesday as did also
President Maggi nnd Secretary Sha
han of the state board of pardons, who
were here several days.
Roy Roberts, who is suspected of
tho crime is still confined In the coun
ty jail How long he will be kept
thcro depends on tho futuro develop
ment of tho evidence. Tho foundation
for further nctlon depends on tho
finding of Connett's body or undispu
tablo evidence that ho has been killed,
both of which aro still lacking.
It is said that the arrival of
Robert's valise at the stato peniten
tiary Wednesday and which has been
searched by President Maggi fur
nishes soino additional evidence, the
nature of which has not yet been
fully disclosed.
