Witnesses Called to Tell of Girl’s Death in Woods Near Kirkwood. An investigation into Nellie Nienaber, whese skeleton Was found in the woods. near Kirkwood, re- cently, was begun Friday morning by the St. Louis County grand jury. Par- ticular attention was directed to Jack- son Long, the negro suspect under ar- rest. Seventeen witnesses have been sulpenaed. Among the witnesses summoned are Mr. and Mrs. Henry Nienaber, Maggie Quernheim, Lottie Quernheim, Elmer Quernheim, Andrew Bopp, Dr. B. 8. Bell, Mrs. Jacksen Long, Joha Crumm, John Gaffiner, William House and Mrs. Walters. Sheriff Herpel and John Cole, son of the owner of; thé farm adjoining the scene of the crime, started for Jeffer- son, Barfacks in an automobile Friday to look” for Herman Frey* missing and much-desired witness in the case. They had learned of a Frey who lately en- listed there, but found that he did not resembie the man they sought. The Barracks officers promised to inspect the recent recruits, to learn whether the missing man could have enliste und@r another name, : A man resembling the description of | Hermen Frey passed throught Alton last Monday, acearding to Henry Feldwisch, bartender’ at Thomas Watson's saloon, and Herman Meyer,*who was in the sa- loon. * ¥3) According te Feldwisch, -the man‘ en- tered and hought a drink of whisky.

What is regarded as the most im- portant development disclosed by the investigation into the Red Gables tragedy was the finding today of a

“Mrs. Erb’s room. These cartridges were of a calibre fitting the army pistol belonging to Capt. Erb, which was found with a clean barre] in his own room immediately after the tragedy. This discovery, the detectives declare, is the strongest evidence yet developed to support the theory that the murder was premeditated. They say the Car- tridges were removed from the captain's room to make sure that he cetild not »~o-4 load the revolver and use it in bis, own defense. The revolyer with which the captain was killeG pelonged.to Mrs. Erb and was of a different calibre. Four cartridges were .missing. from the box in.
