FIVE minutes the detective came running
up with Policemen Clayton and Prlndlole,
with a mob Of about fifty children and a
few grown persons at their heels. L he
house was surrounded and in a few min
utes an excited crowd had gathered all
expecting TO see Walker dragged out
The officers entered the yard and began
the search. 1t was growing dark and
nothing could be seen under the house.
SEARCHED WITH LAMPS.
Men were sent under with lamps how
ever and their search showed beyond a
doubt that there was no one there.
IL would have been impossible for any
one under the house to have escaped be-
fore the arrival of the police, as the only
exit was under constant surveillance the
| whole time.
The only thing found was a small bag
of clothing which Mrs. Won Ramp might

crowd gathered and Assistant Chief
Reilly and half a dozen policemen added
their strength to the officers who first ar
rived.
The crowd was very much disappointed,
and would hardly believe that Walker

WATCH on THE HOUSE.
Detective Morgan made his headquar-
tiers at the Won Kamp house last night
and police officer watched on the street
outside in case Walker should return. In
all probability the man they wanted was

he could give any idea why Walker Sc
lected his house as hiding place. He
replied that 1t was a very natural thing
for Walker to do Walker, he said, had
been acquainted with the family for
several years, a part of the time living
upon the same lot, and he and his wife
were both in the habit of employing him
TO run errands and do odd jobs. In this
way he became quite familiar and
thought nothing Of asking for "A meal or
any other small favor occasionally. Mr..
Won Ramp said he had often left
Walker to take care of his wife when he
was away from home. Under these cir
cumStances he, of course, had every OPP
portunity Of becoming familiar with the
premises. He could certainly have chosen
no better hiding place anywhere, and If
he could have laid in a supply of provis-
ions and water he might have remained
there in security for n month, albeit his
quarters would have been little Cramped.
The police are confident that Walker can
not have gotten far away and that he will
be apprehended in very short time.
DON'T LIKE PUBLICITY.
Mrs. Jane NJ Young, the mother of
Walkers victim, is very much hurt at the
publicity which has been given herself
and daughter by this affair. 1t was her
desire TO avoid publicity that caused her
to go about the matter so quietly after
discovering the crime.
Mrs. Young is a lady of refinement as
well as of some means, and feels deeply
the disgrace that attaches to such an
affair She is native of Scotland, and
has been in this country only five years.
She was matron of the Little Minnie Mis-
sion until that institution was abandoned.
Her only son, very promising young
man, died in Savannah last year of CON
sumption. Her daughter, Helen, is the
only relative she has in this country. Her
daughters affection has always been
great trial to her mother. She was placed
in an English school for deaf
mutes before coming to this country,
and afterwards completed her education
at the institution at Frederick, Md.
Mrs Young is very much hurt at the
statement that her daughter is half
witted, and says that, on the contrary,
she is very bright and quick. AS an evil
dence of her daughters ability
Mrs. Young produced very compliment
tary letter of recommendation from the
president of the Frederick City Institute,
addressed to the president of the board
of managers of the Little Minnie Mission.
This letter was sufficient to secure her APP
pointment as an assistant at the mission
The young woman certainly has an intel
ligent face. She has read the papers
since the affair and feels her position
keenly. Mrs. Young and daughter have
the sympathy of many friends in their
misfortune
