THE MYSTERY UNSOLVED. Nathan Emmons, the First Sus pect Arrested in Connection With Crime, Released. Dayfour, O., Oct. 19.—The police were unable to report further pro gress today in the investigation fol lowing the murder of little Ada Lantz last Saturday night. The of ficers admitted today that they were all at sea. The general public is inclined to think that the mystery will never be solved. Every clue which offered any help or encour agement has been ran down by the officers. There were no new arrests today. Nathan Emmons, the first suspect taken into custody, was re leased to-night, the police being satisfied of his innocence. He has been living alone for some years. Accounts of his past life are that he separated from his wife ten years ago. His wife was Miss Steely, of near Sidney, and it is stated that upon their marriage Emmons repre sented himself as well to do. The young wife was given a rude awaken ing later, when it was found that Emmons could not support her and their little girl. She returned to her parents, but came back about two years later and paid a brief visit in the city. Emmons was said to be devoted and loving to his wife and child. The people whom he knew before he took up his secluded life can not believe that he committed the terrible crime charged against him. According to reports, his wife is a teacher of stenography tn Sid ney. His father is said to live in Indians. The latter was at one time quite wealthy, but lost his money through unfortunate investments, it is claimed. As in the Lantz murder mystery, the police are also at the end of their wits in ferreting out the mystery of the murder of John 3. Barrow, the Soldiers’ Home veteran, whose dead body was found in aravine on the Eby farm south of the city. The department has not even a clue to work on in this case.
