hief and his prisoner. peering curIously
into her face. She was closely veIled, and
several women who followed acted as if
they were determined to tear the veil
away so as to catch glimpse of the white,
resolute face. Mrs. Radloff's sister
appeared alarmed, and it is pos
sible that, if the chief had
had another block to walk, the
crowd would have done violence in order
to satisfy their morbid curiosity by sight
of the suspected woman's face. At police
headquarters Jaier Noble and the police
clerk had trouble in keeping the frenzied
crowd out of the Building.
A good deal of indignation was appar-
ent because of the brutal manner in which
the woman was arrested.
At police headquarters Chief Jackson
closeted himself with Mrs. Radloff for five
hours. Meantime her sister was left in
the inspectors Office to pass the time as
best she could. Whether the chief of
police extorted anything from the woman
in the shape of a confession is not known,
but it is believed that she did not commit
herself in any way.
The sister who has been referred to as
Miss Ida Crevison, stated that her name is
not Crevison any more, but that she is
Mrs. Wright. She said:
I'm widow my husband died five years ago
The papers say I'm younger than Mrs. Radloff,
but that is not so. I'm % and she's only 20 years
old. I'm awfully glad my husband had no life
insurance
Was he killed?
Yes; tree fell on him.
What do you think of the arrest OF your sister?
It's terrible. The worst of all was having to
walk along that great row OF human beings who
seemed ready to eat us up. don't see why We
couldn't have had a coupe. We would have
paid for the use OF one
No, it's no use ing any questions. won't
talk on the case, for don't know anything, and
it's best shouldn't l know my sister is in
nocent.
Albert Radloff is stunned by the facts
brought out at the inquest and had little
TO say. lie thinks, however. that his
brother is dead; that his body is in the
bay. He believes that he was murdered,
and that, to make it appear that he was
burned, body was dug up and burned
with the house, so that the murderer
would be doubly sure of getting away. He
said:
If he was arrested he could make ''confes-
sion," saying it was a scheme on the part of my
brother TO get insurance money, and in su pport
OF his claim prove that the body burned was
stolen from grave. My brother was robbed
and murdered. am certain.
Mrs. Radloff was not allowed a chance
to give bail until $50 O'Clock last night.
Justice Won Tobel was in his Office until
O'Clock waiting for a chance TO fix the
woman's BAH, but the chief of police had
her locked up in his private Office and the
justice finally went home. When the
chief announced that she could give bail,
if she so desired, it was so late
that bondsmen could not be found, and
she was forced TO spend the night in jail.
Mrs. Wright wanted to remain with her,
but this privilege was denied her and she
spent the night at the Snoqualmie hotel
An effort will be made today to give
bonds, although the amount has not been
set.
