The Stratford Murder Case.

The Detectives Think They Have De- tected Something Wrong About Lew is- The Talk with the Birmingham Gr0- cer.
 There have been few new developments in the Rose Clark murder case since Friday.
 The detectives have been going over the route which Lewis takes in his morning ped ding trips and have been questioning the
 people with whom he has dealings. State
 Attorney Fessenden, Deputy Coroner Joyce
 and Detective Bibbins assert that two days after the murder they noticed scratches on
 the back of Lewis left hand. The suspi- cious stains on the horse blanket and carriage robe the testimony of Dr. White in regard to the scales of human skin found under Roses finger nails being those of white man, and Lewis peculiar talk, have given the detectives strong reasons for following up
 this line, and they find some things which
 strengthen the case, perhaps, although not very materially.
 It is said that Lewis has been in the habit of indulging occasionally in cheering bever- ages. On these occasions he becomes talka- ative. Grocer Woodruff, of Birmingham, comes forward with 8 story from which it would appear that Lewis was very coniden- tiaI The value of the story is materially weakened by the doubt in the mind of Mir. Woodruff as to whether the conversation took place on the Monday or Tuesday after the murder. The conversation occurred while Woodruff was paying Lewis for his veg etables. Lewis said: ''Woodruf, my girl
 was murdered last night" The storekeeper expressed surprise and asked for the particu- lars. Lewis explained that she had been overtaken on the road near Stratford during | the night by some man who tried to out
 rage her. She struggled ternibly, said Lewis, and the fellow choked her so hard that she died in his hands. The mur- derer then picked her up and threw her over l the stone wall fence that lined the road. Mir. Woodruff sympathized with Lewis and the l latter jumped into his wagon and drove of. l If this conversation took place on Monday morning it was before the body was found and would criminate Lewis But Woodruff cannot swear that he is certain that it was not Tuesday. He thinks, however, that it must have been, for he reads the paper regularly every day and would have seen the news of the murder.
 It is said that the detectives have discov- cred that Lewis has been doing much other talk through the valley that will probably be
 brought up against him. He has been boast ing of his intimacy with Rose to people who have related his boasts to the detectives. It
 will be remembered that before the jury he swors that his relations with Rose had al-
 ways been honorable.
 The chain of circumstances is yet too slight to warrant arrest, but sufficient to
 warrant the detectives in following up the
 clues against Lewis. Coroner Holt is conf
 dent that Rose left Lewis house before the shower, and was either under some dense
 foliage or in 8 carriage during the rain.
