Bedford —_ Investigation Getting Sensational it is Thought the Case Will Again be Sent to the Grand Jury. Bedford, Ind., Jan. 31.—It now looks as though the investigation of the Sarah Schafer murder was going to reveal something. All Bedford is talking of the sensational testimony of ‘‘Dude’’ Cook, whose testimony has not been shaken, and which has put to work the busy tongues. It is the ‘opinion of many that Attorney Underwood has the right and correct theory that the man who killed Miss Schafer, took her life in trying to get a letter away from her. His whole effort is bent in this direction. But he will not be able to produce the letter for it has been destroyed. He says he knows who wrote it, and whose name was signed to it, as well as what the letter said. Further than this he will not talk about it. He believes, however, that either the person who wrote the letter wanted to recover it, or some other person wanted it—that the murderer was hired to get it. In ‘‘Dude’’ Gook’s testimony given Saturday she said that S. B. Lowe had paid a detective $400 not to track the defendant Evans to a bar ber shop, where he had his mus tache shaved off. Bedford is again becoming worked up over the sen sational testimony given at the preliminary hearing.
