lpolice authorities have a mystery 011
their hands today which bids fair to
keep them busy for many a day to
come in the murder of Rev. Joseph Ze-
bris. pastor of St. Andrew's Lithuan
iiau Catholic Church here. and his
iho ousekeeper. Miss Eva Gillnian. The
cause of death in the case of the priest
Lwas shooting. Two bullet holes were
_'found in his body in a superficial ex~
amlnntlon While the bullets bad kllb
$ed him. he had also been strangled in
la seeming effort to make sure he was
dead He was shot in the left breast.
The housekeeper had been shot in the
wrist. but a clothes line in the form
of a noose drawn tight around her
neck had caused her death. Both bod-
ies were dressed. that of the priest
was lying on,tbe parlor floor and the
body of the housekeeper in her room
iln the garret. The bodies will be ex-
lumined by .1. a. Calhoun. coroner. un-
iaftreuoon Medical Examiner T. G.
Wright, of this city. refused to give a
permit to disturb the contents of the
house until Mr. Calhoun's arrival.
Hence the details of the
tiers are not. known. 1
The bodies were found this room;
ing.in1’en the priest did not appear
for mass his neighbors decided to in-
vestigato and a small boy was sent in-
to the tightly locked house through a
dollar window. Ofllcer Herbert Ly-
ons, who was passing. was quickly ac-
quainted with the facts and entering
the house found the body of the house-
keeperlying strangled and shot in her
room in the gsrret. The police are at
a loss to find a motive and a means
of entrance. While the house was
turned topsy- turvy. every article 0*
furniture and closet being thoroughly
his in the parish have led to a theory
that revenge or a desire to obtain
some incriminating evidence rather
than burglary was the motive. it was
thought that the priest had been mur-
dered first and that 'the housekeeper
had been followed to her room after
Witnessing the affair, where she was
done away with. The bullet lodged in
her arm made some think that the per-
sons involved took a shot at her when
she ran. then obtained a clothes line
and strangled her. How the invaders
gained an entrance is not known.
