Through an intensive check, which began with only a serial number of a cleaning establishment, Detective J. E. Howard of the Council Bluffs police department revealed Tuesday that the man who was found hanging to a tree in the timber off the end of East Orchard Avenue June 15 has been identified as Arthur Luckason of Omaha.
The serial number was found in the man's hat. From local cleaners it was checked to the South Side Cleaners Store No. 7 of Omaha. It was found that the hat had been cleaned for Luckason who had given an address of 1478 Wurt Street, Omaha. Detective Howard learned that Luckason had moved to 1618 Binney street, Omaha, from which address he had disappeared May 19. It was found later that clothing the man wore was from the Nebraska Clothing company of Omaha. Further identification was through a physician, dentist and a pool hall.
Luckason was an unemployed soap cutter, formerly employed by Haskins Brothers and Company of Omaha. He was divorced and has a son, Adrian Luckason of Omaha; three sisters, Mrs. Elmer Spilde of Northwood, Iowa, Mrs. Ben Knudsen of Kensett, Iowa and Miss Charlotte Luckason of San Francisco, California, and one brother living in South Dakota. When Luckason's body was found it was badly decomposed and was buried the following day.
