kuelt down beside the bed and prayed
Again the stricken woman thanked
her visitors for their coming and again
assured them of her deep gratitude for
their kindly remembrance and asked
them to be sure to return Before the
ladies retired Maud volunteered the
information that she had never seen
the other girl, Rose Stuart.
After taking their departure from
the Lester house the ladies went over
to that Of Madame Rivers. Rosa
Stuart was much more cheerful than
Maude Kramer. She felt happy that
the ladies paid her visit. She was
positive in her determination should
she recover, to a live a virtous and
christian life. A number of the
other girls came in and knelt by the
bedside, and it may be that the time
is near at hand when the Lester and
the Rivers bagnios will live only in
history.
Late this evening theory
has been evolving through a
chain Of circumstances, almost posi-.
tive in their character, that will fully
explain the mystery of three of the
shootings. 1t is not proper now to
give the public even suspicion of
the clue that has been obtained, but
in due season the world will know
and understand the motive that led
to three of the crimes. But for the
present these reports will be short, but
in few days the truth will be given
out.

DENIsoN, Tex, May 20.-Another
day has come and gone and there is
absolutely nothing on which to base
the slightest clew as to who did the
dark work here Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning.
Evidence is not wanting to link all
four of the shootings together, yet the
evidence may be misleading, The
balls that did the deadly work are all
of Al caliber and evidently came from
rife cartridges 1t would seem by
this that one and the same man did all
the work. Such, however, is not the
case, for the motive in the Haynes
assassination was robbery. 1t is i'm.
possible for robbery to have been at
the bottom of the others, the unfortu.
nate girls at least.

city of Denison, in mass meeting as

row and deep sympathy with the
families whose homes in this city were
so ruthleSsly invadad by the midnight
assassin, and that we express our
horror and indignation at the foul
murders and at the stain placed upon
the fair name of our city and we obi,
gate ourselves to use our entire and
cesseless energies to ferret out the
perpetrators of these heinous crimes
and bring the guilty parties to speedy
justice.
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this meeting that our people should
exercise calm and deliberate judgment
in unraveling the mysteries surround,
ing these tragedies and we commend
the action of our jealous officials
which we are confident will result il
the capture, conviction aud punish
ment of the assassin or assassins.
Resolved, That we thank the gov.
ernor of Texas for his prompt action
in offering reward of $1,000 for the
arrest of the guilty parties and in
dorse the action of the mayor and city
council in Offering an additional re,
