frances thereto. He took the names or
all present and those in the saloon when
the drop Of blood was dicovered. He
closely questioned the proprietor. The
only fact he elected was that two
weeks previously the rooms haI been
rented by woman, who announced that
she would conduct customers bust
ness, and that the saloon proprietor had
never seen but one person be knew 10
be connected with the business, and that
an old woman, and she but once.
Brought In to examine the body, he de-
clared be had never seen the woman in
life, and did not know who she was or
where she came from.
The detective turned to Dor!Son again:
"When you assembled those back stairs
was the door at the top open or shut?'
"Shut."
"Did you try the door leading from
the veranda to the hall?"
81 did. and found it locked"
"How did you enter?"
SPY the window, next the door"
"Was the sash raised as 1t is now?"
mo; threw it up"
ut was not fastened then?"
"No."
Glow did you enter this room?"
Through those sliding doors"
severe they open as now?'
"No; | threw them back"
WAS there light in the back room?"
eyes; just as there is now"
Turning to one OF the men in citizens
clothes at his back, the captain said:
Zones, go into that yard and see II it
is possible for man to make his escape
over the fence and reach the street."
st would be possible for a man to
descend those back stairs, enter the
saloon below from the rear, and so gain
the street." said the old man with his
hands in his vest pockets, without NOV
ing.
The detective looked at him sharply,
and replied:
THAT Is true.
"He even might have sat down and
drank beer afterward and been in the
saloon when the blood was discovered"
That so might be true" returned
the detective.
The proprietor ought to know
whether he served customer whom ne
did not notice enter the front door"
"Again that might be so; I'll in
quire."
Also" continued the old man, elf
YOU are specializing, your man might
have entered the saloon and slipped out
to gain this room by the rear as this
young man did, and slipped back again
after he did the job"
"Ah," said the detective, turning a
look OF apparent renewed interest upon
Dorison. He took the proprietor aside
and questioned him on the points raised
by the old man. The German was quite
certain Dorison had never stirred from
eho ehair no coated hinasolf in whom he
first entered until the blood was dis
covered; he was in full sight and could
not have moved without his knowledge;
besides. he had talked all the time with
Mr.. Nettleton, fact that attracted his
attention, since, though the old gentle
man came there nightly, he rarely
talked with any one.
As to the possibilities suggested by the
old man with regard 70 others, he could
not speak so positively, though he did
not think that anything like that sug-
gested by the old man had occurred, be-
cause the saloon had not been so full
that he could not take cogniZance or
every one in the place. When asked TO
look over the throng in the hall TO see II
all were there who were in the saloon
when the blood was discovered, he said
after examination that while there were
some ia the hall who were not in the
saloon, there was one who was In the
saloon who had stood by him in the hall
when he was called in to see II he could
recognize the body, who was not there
then. He was a stranger who had come
In early and drank brandy. He could
not describe him, save that he was not
an old man, and was tall and bad brown
hair and mustache.
THAT is undoubtedly the man want"
said the detective"
Sending Dorison to headquarters In
charge of one Of the policemen In order
that statement as to himself and the
events of the night might be taken, and
telling the officer to put man on To
shadow Dorison after he left headquar-
tiers, the officer busted himself with com
pleting his examination OF the premises.
Finally, leaving an officer in charge, he
went away. accompanied by the remain
ing officer in plain clothes.
''This night has not brought forth
much" he said, "but l suppose we can
find out from the woman who rented the
rooms who the girl is. We must hunt
her up the first thing tomorrow, morn
ing. That must be your job"
