The finding of a bouquet of with
ered garden flowers with a knife con
cealed in it on the grave of Fred
Patterson, slain county surveyor, has
brought a new aspect to the possible
identification of the man or woman
that killed the aged man in his.store
at Rock Bluffs on the night of Sep
tember 12th.
The flowers were apparently as
ters and a few small gladiolas, had
been made into the bouquet by some
one not accustomed to handling
flowers in this form as the flowers
were wadded together, the knife
placed at the back of the flowers and
all tied together by several pieces
of string.
When found by Deputy Sheriff
Rex Young the flowers were on the
foot of the grave and the knife was
on the bottom of the bouquet, rest
ing on the earth that covered the last
resting place of the aged surveyor.
While the flowers were not at the
funeral service they had evidently
been placed on the, grave the same
day, the donor of the bouquet of hate
coming to the desolate pioneer ceme
tery as all had departed to lay this
challenge on the grave.
The finding of the flowers makes
it appear that the slaying was one
of revenge or the work of a mental
defective and who glorifying in the
deed had placed the knife and flowers
on the grave in exhultation over the
crime.
It is possible that finger prints
may be found on the handle of the
knife which was protected from'tlie
elements by the flowers and tests
will be made to learn if possible if
the prints exist.
Rewards aggregating $750 have
been made for the slayer by the es
tate of Mr. Patterson and the county
of Cass.
