A robbery attempt near 215 Thirteenth Street West was reported by D Briggs after he escaped a man armed with a rubber-hose-like weapon. Police link the event to the murder of Italian Joseph Bushema found along the riverbank, where burned bloodstained cloth and paper were discovered near his home. Investigators seek to confirm if the blood is human and to determine if the killer lived nearby, testing theories that Bushema was attacked before his throat was cut.
