A Mysterious Murder,

DETROIT, October 30. - Late last night while a man and woman were talking on Jefferson Avenue, a stranger stepped up and called for help to remove the body of a dead man whom he said he had found on the street. The dead man proved to be the husband of a woman who said his name was Wm. L. Stewart and that they had recently came to Detroit where her husband was seeking work. It was thought he died from heart disease, but a post mortem revealed the fact that death resulted from a small but deep wound in the chest which extended to the heart. The wound seems to have been made by some such instrument as a Spanish stiletto. Who did the stabbing is unknown. The man who first called attention to the dead man has disappeared and no one knows anything about him. The woman who claims to be the murdered man's wife is known to be Lottie Frank, an actress, formerly of Buffalo.
