many queer statements. She claims that her

to have murdered Millionaire Smell
She also says that her husband one
night brought mask which he showed her and
told her that he was going to have some of
Old SHELLS money or kill him. He went
the next morning. He came back
without any shoes and his handkerchief was
clotted with blood. He said that he had loaned
his shoes to Tascott. who had been shot. The
woman also declares that Tascott is dead.
She says she knows lie was strangled to death
and his body made way with by his pals. In
that connection she frequently mentioned the
names of Funkhouser, Marsden and
Reynolds. Subsequent to the murder of
Millionaire Shell her busbund became ex-
ceedingly nervous and induced her to leave
Chicago.
Mrs. Watts, the mother of Mrs Ordway.
confirms her daughters story in parts and
says the memory OF the past dreadful events

knew something of the wOmans character and
reputation for veracity l might consider the
matter. but as the story now stands unsub-

foundation. Mr.. Ordway, father Of Albert X,
said that his son married Mrs. Beekman.
Soon after the marriage they went to Balti-
more. He refused to say anything about the
death of his son further than it occurred in
Baltimore. None of the family went there to
