Now york, DR., Cdtlin has turned States eyilsuee
anu cOntesses tho imposture. lie says that he wIs
present 10 tho room all the tina, AMI that Mrs.
cunningham gave birth to no child The s.rnna.st
revelation Is the fact that there is means of exit
from the rear OF the house, through II gate OF which
Mrs Cunningham had the key though, on the o,.
easion OF the murder investigation, she denied it
Ihat cato opens through stable yard into ba,k
street She told Doctor Uhl that in going to Elm
street, to the California widows for tho child she
might possibly take that route. Police spios were
therefore posted there 10 watch During the Coro-
ner investigation in the murder case, no attention
was paid to this back exit an II is now suggested
that through it the person assisting IN the murder
might have escaped, surprising that Eckel was not
tho man.
Mrs Cunninghans denial of having amy kew of
the gate H. fresh cause of suspicion. Tho present
case has given great start to theories and surIni
Sos about the MURDER in the hope of clearing up the
mystery
