Thore is no question as to tho identity of the skeleton as that be longing to Mr. Schwab, said Mr. Gold, when in Payson, as teeth iden tifications have been made by Carl of the murdered Schwab, brother man, and papers and personal effects of Mr. Schwab were found m a suit case which had been hidden in the well with the body of the victim. One of the most strange features of the affair ' is the fact that the automobile driven by Mr. Schwab when he left Flagstaff on about, April 15, has completely disappeared and no trace of it seems possible. It is related in connection with the matter that a rather old gentleman had made a proposition to purchase the car from Mr. Schwab and pay $800 for it, but that the otter wus refused. Later, the' same man is wud to have appeared and to have told (that he had purchased the car. It is the theory of the officers that Mr. Schwab was murdered by boot Ieggers who then placed the car in , the illicit liquor traffic across the The border, probably into Texas. "v thieves, however, no doubt completely ' changed the appearance of tho cai r never bo estab rv a' l and its identity tvill , hshed, as any records concerning ' it which Mr. Schwab may have had have disappeared. , It is believed by the officers that the murder was committed xfTttoa by ' Ionian. - fwiff two menyMp jl.
