BODY OF MAN FOUND IN REAR SEAT OF
CAR
Akron detectives say robbery could be a motive
in the slaying of a 40- year-old cook whose body was found at about 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, in the rear seat of his car on the city's near north side.
Police and investigators from the Summit
County coroner's office are calling the death of William Morris of Jeanette

Prior to being put in the car, authorities
believe, the man was beaten with a blunt instrument and his body dragged.
"It is a homicide and it is under
investigation," said coroner's investigator Joseph Orlando.
Lt. John Lower said Morris, a cook at Mijo's
"House of Paprikash at the corner of Exchange and Main streets, was last
seen at about 8 p.m. Tuesday at a downtown bar where he had cashed his
paycheck. Police declined to identify the bar.
Lower said the victim's family had last seen
him Tuedsay morning when he left for work. He said Morris' wallet was not found
at the scene and indicated that "robbery could be the motive, but we are
not sure."
An Akron policeman investigating a parking
violation discovered the body in the rear seat of Morris' 1974 AMC at about
1:30 p.m. The car was parked on Bass Avenue, which runs between Cuyahoga Street
and Glenwood Avenue.
