He Had n Mysterious Visitor Just Before
Disappearing.
CHICAGO, March 0.-The announce.
ment that Roland Leach, the New York
travelling man who disappeared Sunday,
had been found, was premature. The
mans whereabouts are as yet unknown.
A card was sent to Leach's room Sum
day afternoon bearing the name "Wil-
liam S. Hanning." The card was found
yesterday on one Of the tables in the
sample room. There is no such name in
the directory and the detectives have
found that no man OF that name has
registered at the hotels in this city in the
last three weeks. 1t is surmised that
Leach left the hotel with Hanniug, for
the card was sent to the room just about
the time Leach went away.
Two notes have been found in I.each's
mail box at the hotel, signed "Edith,"
and the detectives are trying to lind the
writer. A woman called at the hotel
Tuesday night to see Leach, and when
told that he had not returned, said:
"Why, that's strange; he ought to be in
by this time" This woman was allowed
o'get away before the police were noti-
fed

He told the waiter he would meet them

freezing tones lie bade them good day

"Oh," said the younger of the two,

KANSAS CRY, March 0.-The charges
made by Alderman Ford concerning the
frightful condition Of the prisoners con-
fined in the work house are found to be
true. Two reporters Of the Times inves.
tigated the matter and found that about
seventy.five male prisoners were
crowded into narrow and filthy cells
filled with vermin and not provided
with sanitary regulations. The men, on
account Of their desperate character,
are constantly manacled with shackles
weighing from five to thirteen pounds.
For those prisoners arc two guards. The
building is OF wood and the partitions
are thin: The committee appointed to
investigate the matter will report to-
morrow night at Council meeting. It is
thought likely that a new brick prison
will be erected provided with proper
sanitary regulations and a sufficient
