Morning Oregonian November 21,1904
Auto Murder Mystery
Detectives Proceed On The Theory Of A Double Murder
Chicago,Nov.20-Diligrnt search by a score of detectives today failed to throw 
light on the mystery surrounding the murder of Willam Bate,who was shot and 
killed and his body left in an automobile at a lonely spot on Archer Road 
Saturday morning.An inquiry was begun today, but, after emanelling a jury, the 
case was continued until November 30.
The police are proceeding on the belief that two murders were committed and 
that Bate was murdered to conceal the first murder.It is the opinion of the 
detectives that "Dove" and the body secreted in the woods or among the 
quarried that skirt the vicinity where Bate's body was found.
Going on this theory the detectives in the case began a systematic search of 
the surrounding country for the body of another person who is supposed ot have 
been murdered.Three suspects arrested early today were able to account for 
their whereabouts on Saturday night and were discharged.
