A. Maxwell is conducting the coroner's examination but while there has been no direct statement to that effect, It Is rumored that there will be no verdict until tomorrow, when the family Is expected home again. Had no Known Enemies.. As far as residents of Union are aware, Mr. Perry had no known epe mles who might commit the deed. It was not robbery that Incited the crime, for the remains had not been touched, eviden ly, after the bullets had been fired. About $5 in cash and a gold watch were still in the pockets when the body was found. ' . - Mystery Deepens. - The longer the Jury probes the mat ter the more mysterious the incident has become. He frequently complained of tramps coming to his home near the railroad track to ask for a bed - and a meal. Some think that tramps had found their way to the place and hid in the garret, and Mr. Perry, per haps, hearing noises up there, went to Investigate with his lamp, only to meet a fusillade of bullets. There is no pos sible chance for. the suicide theory, : and as a result the entire affair la veiled in a mystery which will perhaps never be ferreted out Perry was employed with the asses sor's office at various times for about Ave years, and occassionally was em . ployed in the. sheriff's office. It is reported from Union this af ( ternoori that Mr. Perry was arrang ing his business matters to go to Portland to join his family consist ing of a wife and three small child renbut was frustrated H7 the mur lerer's hand. In the excitement pre vailing at Union today nothing has been done in the way of funeral ar rangements. The body is so badly de composed that it will be difficult to conduct a public funeral service.
