FINGER PRINT OF
SLAYER OF DIETZ
Chicago, April 17.—Finger prints of
the murderer of George Dietz, the
woman's tailor, are expected to throw
web around the guilty that cannot
be broken.
This information was
given by a police officer in the case
today. Several marks are bloody im-
prints upon the handle of a massive
mason's hammer that shattered the
skull of Dietz. On the bed, too, the
murderer left a crimson trail.
"You couldn't ask for better set
of finger prints," said the officer. The
coroner said he would likely recom-
mend that a man and woman be held
to answer for the killing. The discov-
ery was made today that Mrs. Dietz
is the second wife of the slain man.
