VICTIM OF CRIME WAS DRUNK
It Is Believed a Motive for the Crime
Can Be Found In the Murdered
Man's Relationship With a Divorced
Woman His Reputation Not Good.

lice , a faunhaud , has been placed un
der arrest by the officials hero in

outskirts of town where ho had lived.
Mattlco took Jarrell homo the night
before , the man being In a state of
deep Intoxication. Ho states that he
threw Jarrell on the bed and then
went home.
Jarrell was murdered whllo prepar
ing his breakfast. The food was evi
dently nearly cooked , for Jarrell had
made all preparations for sitting
down. The murderer is said by the
officials to have attracted Jarrell to
the door and then crushed his head
In with a hammer when he opened
the door. The body fell into a box
of kindling wood. The murderer then
entered the house and cut the throat
of his victim. The hammer , its end
crusted with blood and hair , was
found in front of Jarrell's squalid
homo.
The police , in investigating the
crime , believe that a motive can be
traced to Jarrell's relationship with a
divorced woman whoso name they re
fuse to disclose. Jarrell himself did
not bear a very good reputation. He
was employed as chore boy In the sa *
loons of this city , was accustomed to
drink intemperately and had a vicious
temper.
