IT is STILL A MYSTERY.
No Light Yet on the Death Of Con-
duct0r Lewis.

Speculation Is still rife as to the cause
which led tothe death of Lehigh Valley
Railway Conductor Lewis The police
authorities have decided to cease investi-
cations, as 1t is clearly established fact,
in their minds, that Lewis met his death
accidentally. 1t is firmly believed, how
ever, that there is a woman in the case.
The rumor that Lewis was thrown froni
the roof by any person is not believed.
Mrs. Hough, whose name has been con-
nected with the tragedy, still refuses TO be
interviewed by reporters. Mrs. Hough
was ailing before he accident occurred
and she is now confined to her Led aud Is
still attended by DIR. Gray. as stated yes-
terday. The story that Lewis was sur
prised in any PERSONS apartments given
no credence by the police. v
Mr. Hough and his brother-in law, Wal
ter Conover, were both at home when
Lewis met his death. The latter, who
told me that he knew more of the case
than he cared to tell is still reticent.
The inquest to be held on Monday even
ing next will probably result in the un-
ravelling of the mystery which sur
rounds the case.
Coroner .Faherty and the foreman of
the jury which will Investigate the case,
visited the Arlington Fl It's yesterday and
viewed the spot where Lewis was found.
Those occupants of the house having any
knowledge of the affair will be called to
testify at the inquest.
Upon the second floor there is another
woman beside Mrs. Hough, whom Lewis
is supposed to have known, and it Is
Thought that she can throw some light
upon the subject. The police refuse to
say who she is, however. That Lewis
was q friend of Hough family is acknowl-
edged by Walter Conover. He says Lewis
called at the house on an average twice q
week. and was always given q cordial
welcome by the entire family. Lewis was
not drinking man. and how he could
be on the roof or balcony OF the fourth
| floor. is mystery. Excitement still pre-
walls among the tenants OF the fats, aud

try.
The President closed his remarks by
