Skeleton-in-Well Case Getting
Intensive Irobe; Trial? Set on
Oct 18 for Other Polk Slaying
DALLAS, Oct. fl.-Polk county authorities are continuing thjr ef
forts to unravel the mystery of the unidentified body found in an
Eola Hills farm well September 21. ' j
The near-skeleton remains of a man trussed with wire and
weighted with a 64-pound rock - - was brought to the surface by Carl
Williams and Clyde Edminster, both of Salem route ,4j The men were
cleaning the well when they made ;-
the gruesome find.
Deputy Sheriff tony Neufeldt
In charge of the investigation, said
Friday that he is continuing to
trace down every available lead
which might lead to apprehension
of a killer.
Skeleton Returned
Friday morning the skeleton
was returned to the Dallas mor
gue from the Portland state police
crime detection laboratory at the
University of Oregon medical
school. Other remains taken from
the well, along with the soil and
water, are still ' being examined
by crime technicians to determine
how long the body was In the wa
ter. Neufeldt pointed out that the
success of the scientists In deter
mining when the body was thrown
In the well Is all-important in ul
timate apprehension of the slay
er. Estimates on the time have
ranged from two to 10 years.
List Beinr Studied
Neufeldt said he is in possession
cf an almost complete list of per
sons who have camped on the farm
property and lived in the house
near the well during the past eight
years. If the time of the crime
can be determined accurately, he
stated, it may be possible to link a
former tenant with the slaying. -
The deputy said he expected a
complete laboratory on the re
mains In about three weeks.
Meanwhile, another murder
charge is pending in the same
county. ,
Amos Sooter, 40, charged with
