nat They raped, and Mrs. Stanton came
70 the door. She seemed to be dazed and un-
able TO talk plainly. The policeman asked
her what had been the matter, and she said
she didn't know. They couldn't get her t.
ray word about the shooting or the men,
ana after making sure that there was then
no man in her apartment they took her &c
the drug store
She tried TO cry, but the tears wouldn't
come She begged DAILY to be mercilul. He
asked her who the men were, and she said
she didn't dare to tell She wouldn't say
that she knew the men, but at the same time
she understood that her position was that OF
an accomplice.
"Oh, don't take me to jailr' she exclaimed
speaking first TO the policemen and then te
Mr., Daily
"Yeu win probably go to Sing Sing" said
DAILY.
''Oh, don't send me to prison." she begged
Then tell me who the men are that tried
to Kill me. Tell me who they are and viii
spend 5000 TO keep you out of prison."

face was black with powder marks, and al
ternately pale and dark with anger He h
53 years old.
The policeman took the woman to the
Thirtieth street station house, and Mr. DAILY
went there in a cab. He told his story to
Capt. Reilly. The woman would not say
word that would reveal the identity of the
assassns. She gave her age as ., said she
was married and supported herself They
locked her in cell, and then Mr. DAILY
thought twas about time to have his wound
dressed a little better than it had been at the
drug store. The surgeon W ho attended him
found that the ball had got just as close tc
the skull AS was possible without cutting it,
The shot cut the scalp just above the left
temple at the parting of the hair, and, fur
rowing length OF four inches along the
parting, had passed off. His hair viii never
part there again. The plucAy old fellow had
lost rot Of blood, but he felt pretty good,
aud after the doctor had put five stitches ir
his brow, he went TO the cafe of the Cole
man house to let his friends see that he was
not dead
After Mrs Stanton had been put in a cell
Capt Reilly sent men back to the fiat to hunt
for evidence and get anybody that might
come around there. The officers found in the
fiat a woman who said she was Mrs Ella
Hammond She was not in the house, she
said, when the assassins were there, and she
swore that she had no connection with the
crime and had known nothing of it. She de
clared that she was an innocent dressmaker,
and protested against arrest, but she was
locked up all the same
The police brought Mrs. Stanton's trunk
and some boxes to the station house. The
trunk was full of fire gowns; the boxes were
crammed with letters and papers
The letters in the boxes were peculiar
They were from many men who are well
known about town Many seemed to be an
swers to advertisements ia which s'young la
diesn who are sin temporary Distress ask an
elderly gentleman" for financial help; OBJ
ject, "matrimony."
Besides these the woman had a business di-
rectory and st Of ad lreSsas, and whole lot
of envelopes with the names of men about
town written on them. There was a bundle
of letters she hal received and put on file.
Each envelope was indorsed with the name
of the sender
One had the line Told to cal at D. m.
Saturday. and then beneath it was written
the line, He didn't comen
This made it look as if she had gone largely
into the business of summoning men to her
room to see "a party and it may be that
other men have gone to her rooms before and
been robbed before Mr.. DAILY went there and
