f The mystery in tlie Clancy-Stevens oase is clearing and deepening with investigatioD. This morning Sheriff Judi sou eoncluded to visit tlie pickli4g vat at tlie University medical college again. He did bo and in eompany with old Doe. Xaegle investigated thorouglily the entire contenta. He found the s wollen, blackened body of Frank Clancy. It was drawn from the vatandMrs. Clancy quickly sent for. She at once knew the body of her son, and all lier fears ended in a terrible certainty. Wïlliam Hasenack and William Vornor as positively and as unhesitatingly recognized it. Friday morning when William Hasenack called at the anatoinical laboratory he asked Doe. Xaegle to see the body of Clancy just brought from the poorhouse. He was shown the body of the man that now lies at the cemetery awaiting burial. He was certain it was not Clancy but in order to be sure, Clancy's mother was sent for. She was also positive that it was not lier son. Both were tolerably sure that it was one of the Stevens boys, most likely John. The coroner at once took possession o the body, and ordered a post-mortem. While the two surgeons will not teil I what they discovered, still it is unauthoratively stated that enough was found to warrant further procedure.' Itis learned Erom tlie records kept at the anatomical laboratory that the body which has been taken for that of Joh Stevens arrivod here Monday from Detroit where he had died. The record shows that the body which he authorities were giveu was that of a jrisoner named Hudgins, who died at the Detroit House of Correction, that lie vas 27 years old, and had three gun shot wounds, and had been sent there rom Texas. Now the mystery turns on to Stevens. Where is he? Tuesday morning's train Sheriff Jiul son went to Toledo to continué investí gations into the Clancy-Stevens case He has a theory of I1Í3 own with regare to what caused the mysterious death o Frank Clancy. Upon this he is at worl He will also niake certain preparation for tomorrow's inquest. The Courier learns tliat it was Coro nor Ball and not the sheriff who firs discovered Claney's body in the vat For several days the Coronor luis beei hard at work on the theory tliat the body wliicli was in the physician's hands was not that of the man arrested by Officer Wood, taken to the pooi farm by Supt. Mason, and thence aftei death removed to the medical college. He secured minute descriptions of the man from Wood and Mason and found that neither tallied with tliat ot the man identified as John Stevens. Then he went and found the real body in the vat. The sherifl theu accompanied Mrs. Clancy to the college to identify the body. The coronor and sheriff are in full accord and are working to gether with all the means in their power to ferret out the mystery. Old "Doe" Naegle pretenda tliat he did give up the body which he had received from the poor farm but he is not believed. It is probable that he intentionly gave up the wrong body, in the belief that it would not be recognized and so would be returned to him. Diere seetiis to be no new developenients today. All is in readiness for the inquest toniorrow morning at Dieterele's undertaking establishment. The pliysicians have cornpleted their examination but will not reveal its results.
