That is the only plausible theory so far ad-
yanced. Cross story as already given l.
not true for the following reasons. He

Matthews bending over his sister. The lat
ter then ran into the barber shop. returned
and dropped dead As she mounted the
rear steps he assisted her which he says.
accounts for the blood on bis shirt. Also
that when Matthews left the house at
o'clock he took the front door key with
him. In the first place the key 20 the front
door was found on the inside of the barber
shop lying on the hOOr. Matthews shoes
and socks were found in the barber shop on
the h0Or with no bio Od stains on them.
These shoes have been identified as the
ones Matthews wore on that day.
This shows that he must have
been inside the house before the
rear door was opened in the manner de-
scrioed by Cross On the night of the trag-
edy Cross told officer John Schobey and
reporter for the TELEGRAM HERALD that he
went 70 bed with nothing on but his under
shirt. This is a lie for he was seen 10 take
OFT a shirt a minute or Two after the cut
ting. shirt which he acknowledges Is
bis was found covered with blood and With
the button holes torn out His collar was
found with blood stains on il all torn. The
razor found 10 the building, bearing blood
marks bad been washed This was done
when Cross went across the road 10 the
pump. The bureau drawer, containing
several razors was found open, and was
opened by Cross when he prepared to take
part in the struggle, for the purpose of So
curing a razor. After changing his shirt
Cross deliberately blew out the light. This
schmidt saw him do. Cross says there
was no light.
Notice Cross actions. suppOsing his story
true. After finding his sister i dead ms
hrst thought Is 10 get clean shirt on.
When he sees the officer he says nothing
about mis- dead sister only tells him he Is
wanted. Leaving him he goes TO the pump
Strange actions for a man who has first
found his murdered sister That there had
been trouble in the family before Is proved
0y a c0lOrei girl named Mary Bugg, who
She says that Cross came there on Sunday
afternoon and said that he expected trouble
iu his house They had all been quarreiing
Of late and he had Il good mind 20 get
drunk. The position of the blood stains IN
the house all indicate the theory presented
No credence whatever is placed in
Matthews story. The police believe that
all three were drunk and that the atlray
occurred In the manner above described
Al lue people concerned IN the Tragedy
are so thoroughly depraved m their ma
lures that no reliance can be placed on
their words Matthews vas the original
Cause OF Mrs. Curtiss leaving her husband
and children. Cross has al. wavs been lis
ing with Mrs. Anaim Curtiss. AT the time
of the tragedy Mrs Anaim Curtiss was al
kalamazoo. She returned from there last
night and az once proceeded % the house
on 5t0cking-st. Finding The door locked
she broke in and took possession.
