Another Murder Mystery
Chicago, Nov. 22- Another element of mystery has been added to the already mysterious circumstances in the death of Miss Eva Mitchell, whose body was found lying on the boulevard, near Forty-third street in Hyde Park, on Saturday night. It appears that she had a very close friend name Nettie White and this girl was not present at her friend's funeral, nor has she been seen since Eva's death. The police are searching for her on the theory that it may have been a double murder, or that the girl knows something about the circumstances of her friend's death and is keeping out of the way.
Miss White returned to her boarding house this afternoon. She is a seamstress and had been sewing for a family in Champlain avenue since Monday and had not heard of the murder till last night. She said she had not seen the murdered girl for six weeks and knew nothing about the manner of her death.
