the daughter In tears calls upon tEeii
by her own admission the mother iii her
younger days mad passed through Il pc
Rod OF great sorrow. sorrow SO great as
to influence her after life: on two u;.ci.-
sions she Is known 10 be in great distress
once eight years ago. when she refused
- explain the caUSe. but immediately
dresses in mourning and the daughter
witEdraws from all association with
young people: the other three years ayo.
when. seeking her minister for advice.
the mother thinks better of it and says
she vii, inset this trouble as she has met
her other troubles. alone Reuben Dori-
son died eight years ago. coincidental
with the appearance Of Mrs. Parish in
mourning. Inquiry also ELECTS that
when the minister's wife is. in the pres
ence Of Mrs. Parish. conde1nning wom-
an for irregularity of life. Mrs. Parish
cries ont in protest. saying that the con-
domination OF the woman rings in her
ears az condemnation Of herself.
Inference: There was something's
fault. misfortune Or crime IN the life
Of the mother. with which the caller at
stated intervals. and presumably Reuben
Dorison. is connected.
Inquiry also elicits the fact that the
daughter. who has no association with
young people. is seen on three different
occasion walking in Union square. EVIL
IDENTIFY greatly troubled. with young
man. tall and slim, of fast appearance
dressed in extreme fashion.
ss1p Tho r.u1 1up Of ct.to<1 irfop
walls and the walker in Union square are
one and the same.
Near the body of the mother was
found u mans glove. the form of which
shows it was worn by Il man with large
hand. prominent knuckles and joints
whose thumb was disproportionatelv
long. This glove was cut and made to
fit only the hand that wore it. an indica-
ton that the wearer was a man exceed
ingly particular rs to his personal ap-
pearance and nice as to his apparel.
differences: First. IA the walker in
Union square was noticeable because of
his fine dress. and as the wearer of the
glove was. as it indicates. careful as to
his appearance. the wearer of the glove,
the walker in Union square and the
caller at stated intervals We're one and
the same. Second. as the glove was
found close to the body Of the mother
after her death. and as one caller on the
family WAS the incident of n month. this
we;;rer Of the glove was the murderer Of
the mother Third. if Of the mother.
then of the daughter.
''One more point: !nas,nnch as after
the tw" women engaged in the costum-
ing business it WAS the habit Of the
mother tn retnrn home before the
daughter. and ,i:e daughter to return Il:
six. and as the servant left Mrs. Parish
alone at eight. there is reason to believe
that the daughter was murdered frs;
and the mother after.
Now. as To a theory. Mrs. Parish
bad been connected with some event. the
secret Of which she jea!ously guarded.
in her early life. which was criminal.
She had documents relating to this event.
possession of which she shared with her
daughter. These documents either inn
piicu,ed Il Young man who called upon
her at stated intervals. or which, being
in his hands. would prove Of such value
that To possess them he could bring him
self to commit murder. With these
events Reubea Dor!son is associated.
since the only glimpse Of any part OF
them We have obtained shows his hand
writing. The Young man 70. years per-
secuted the two women to obtain the
papers. being always refused and pla-
Gated with gifts Of money TO srch an ex-
tent that IN time the independence Of
MIS-. Parish WAS SO impaired that she
was compelled to resume Il business she
had many years before been engaged in.
He had become desperate in finding thu,
be could neither obtain the documents
nor any more money. the LATTER fact be-
!ug made clear to him when he learns
tina, Mrs Parish has goaa INFO business.
Believing these documents 70 be in the
possession OF the youns woman. he visit
