KILMER'S BODY
LAY IN BUSHES
DISCOVERED BY MAN NAMED
ZEIGLER.
Indications Point to Murder, hut Dr.
Bier Says Death WaB Due to Heart
Disease Young Man Had Been
Missing Since Sunday Night When
He Was Last Seen Alive Autopsy
On the Body Will Be Made Today
by Coroner Berge Where the Body
Was Found.
Tho dead body of "3tsso Kilmer, tho
lG-ycur-old son of Mr. anil Mrs. Alvln
Kilmer, of Spring Urook, who has been
missing from home since tiaturday last,
was found yesterday at noon In a dump
of bushes, along the railroad, leading
to the Spring Brook Water compnHy'a
dam, about three miles from Mooslo,
and In Luzerne county.
Indications point to murder, although
no motive can be ascribed, and tho
boy's death is shrouded In mystery.
The discovery was made by a
man named Zelgler, who Is In the em
ploy of the Spring Brook Water com
pany, Murks on the boy's face and an
ugly wound on the bnck o his head
would Indicate violence.
The indications also point to tho fact
that tho young man wus waylaid on
the railroad, and hl3 body dragged or
carried to the point where It was found,
a trail of blood having boon discovered
over'tho stones leading from tho rail
road to tho bushes. The body was
carefully laid out, with the coat but
toned up, tho hat was drawn tightly
over the head, and the face was covered
with a handkerchief.
AN ISOLATED PLACE.
The place where the body was found
Is very isolated, and but for the fact
that searching parties were out looking
for It, It Is doubtful If the discovery
would have been made very soon. The
boy's actions and whereabouts have
been traced up to about 9.30 o'clock
last Sunday night.
He left home last Saturday morning
and came to Scranton to collect money
due him from the Rppld Transit Rail
road company for work performed as
a teamster. After receiving the money
he started out and paid a number of
bills about the city for his father.
He also purchased a pair of ladles'
shoes, which he Intended us a present
for his mother. Saturday night he
spent at the homo of Michael Osborn,
at S14 Locust street, South Scranton,
and remained there during Sunday. He
left the Osborn house early In the even
ing in company with Osborn's two
daughters, and went to Kornacher's
drug store on Pittston avenue.
While at the drug store he treated
the young ladies to soda-water, and
also purchased six ounces of carbolic
acid, which his father wanted . to use
on the farm. When poison Is purchas
ed, It Is necessary the purchaser should
register for it, nnd Kilmer gave the
name of Frank Patterson, and his ad
dress as 27 North Main street Pitts-
ton.
BOARDED MOOSIC CAR.
About S.30 o'clock Sunday evening
he left the young ladles at the drug
store, and bidding them good night,
boarded a Mooslc car for home. This
was the last seen of him until he
reached Mooslc. A resident of that
borough passed him between 9 and 10
o'clock on his way home, and this was
the last seen of him alive.
When the body was found yesterday
the box containing the shoes he pur
chased, were found nearby Intact, but
the bottle of carbolic acid was) missing.
There was no Indications of his having
dtank the acid, as that would be plain
ly apparent In his lips or tongue being
burned. Over $4 In money was also
found In his pocketbook.
The boy's father notified the upllce
of his son's disappearance, and had a
number of people looking for him. The
father came to police headquarters
yesterday and gave a description of his
son, and said there was no reason for
his disappearance, as he was careful
In his habits and happy In his home
life.
Shortly after he departed a telephone
message wns received that the body
had been recovered. Coroner Berge
was notified and had the body removed
to the home of Stephen Church, near
the Intake of the Spilng Brook Water
company's dam, whero It was viewed
by 'Squire Morahan, of Avocn.who
empanelled a jury for the purpose of
conducting an Inquest.
WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Michael Osborn, of S14 East Locust
street, at whose house Kilmer spent
Sunday, was seen last evening and
stated that tho young man was in good
spirits while there, but did not want to
go home.
WhPii he le'ft tlie house In the even
ing ho was accompanied by Osborn's
two daughters, Delia, aged 20, and
Kate, aged 18 years. They chatted
pleasantly on tho way to Komacher's
drug store on Pittston avenue, whero
ho purchased tho carbolic acid.
To one of the girls ho said ho was
somewhat afraid to return home that
night, although he added that he never
hud been inolested by any one. Just
as ho boarded the cuy for home ho said
ho would visit the gills ugaln Saturday
night.
As far as could be learned, Kilmer
did not have very much money with
him at any time during his visit to
Sciuutou, and what he obtained was
used In paying several bills. He told
tho clerk at Kornacher's drug store
that he wanted to use, the carbolic acid
to make uxlo grease. Why he guve on
assumed name to the druggist cannot
bo determined, but the poison does
not seem to figure in uny wuy in the
boy's death.
ADDS TO MYSTERY.
What adds more mystery to the caso
Is the Information received from Mooslo
lust night to the effect that Dr. Pier
exumlned tho body and says the boy
died ns the result of heart disease,
Dr, nerge, of Avoca, who is the cor
oner of Luzerne county, will mako a
post-mortem examination of tho body
today, The Jury empanelled In tho cuse
Includes Rl, J. Dixon, Charles Church,
Thomas Thomas, T. J, Dunn and John
Clifford.

GROWTH OF PRIVATE BUSINESS.
Compelled Robert C. Adams to Re
sign Office of Treasurer.
Robert C. Adams announced yester
day that owing to demands of his pri
vate interests, he has resigned as treas
urer of the Spring Brook Water Supply
company. Mr. Adams has been treas
urer of this company since Its organi
zation In 1890, but growing demands of
his private business require nil of his
time to his New York ofllce, at No. 253
Broadway. Ho will, however, continue
to uct as a director of the company.
Mr. Adams returned yesterday from
a two months' trip In Europe, spending
most of his time In London on business.
Mr: Adams' residence will continue to
be In Scranton.
Colonel Watrcs, the president of the
Spring Brook Water Supply company,
sfated that it was with reluctance that
Mr. Adams' resignation as treasurer
was accepted. "His services to the
company since Its incorporation have
been valuable and appreciated," said
Mr. Watres. "Mr. Adams' business
connections have been along broad
lines, and his experience with the 'largo
corporation interests which ho leaves
will no doubt serve him well In his
private business."
