A middle aged woman, plainly dressed and identified as a working woman, is described in the report with minimal further detail.
A murdered woman found face down in a gully on the Arlington Golf Club links in Belmont is believed to be the wife of Polish barber Schidlosska of South Braintree. Police pursue a possible motive beyond robbery as initials on a cuff link match a name in the victim’s pocketbook and a murder case is described as monstrous and Poe like.
The forecast calls for fair and continued warm conditions in Boston and vicinity through Friday and Saturday. Daytime highs will be mild and evening temperatures comfortable with light breezes.
A cuff with a bloodstained button of value, scattered envelopes and letters, a whiskey bottle with one drink, a blood-stained stone, and a knife on the links without blood. A pocketbook with laundry tag and 58 cents, a glass bead, a ladies fan, watch chain fragment, and an address leading State police to Brockton at midnight.
General Whitney and State Police Officer Rhoades traced leads after finding an address in a pocket book near the murder scene. They learned the suspect was believed to be in South Braintree, moving the hunt to Brockton then onward to locate him.
Early this morning the Braintree police, at the request of the State police, were ordered to take into custody Schidlosska a Pole residing at 809 Washington street South Braintree on a charge of murdering his wife whose body was found on the Arlington golf links. Schidlosska a barber by trade. Two officers left Brockton for South Braintree immediately.
Police describe John Schidlasser aged 28 as the alleged murderer. He stands about five feet six inches tall and weighs 150 to 160 pounds with a light complexion light brown hair and light blue eyes. He is employed as a barber.
Police and state detectives reported failure to locate Schidlosser as they pursued leads in a case suggesting the missing man may be on a journey toward California. Authorities urged witnesses to contact local officers with any information.
Authorities pursue Schidlosska who is believed en route to California. It is now certain the Belmont murder victim was Schidlosska’s wife. The Brockton couple shared two rooms. Schidlosska, about 28, worked at Charles Greelish’s barber shop in Braintree. Greelish last saw him Saturday night as he bade farewell.
