in the newspapers CT the assault upon her.
She said also that she didn't know OF her
former husbands death until the same time.
She seemed very much touched over her
daughters accident and said that she would
call again. She was stout, well dressed
woman of about so years. Her hair was
sprinkled with gray"
CAPTAIN LANCE SAW HER.
Captain Lange told the reporter that he
saw Mrs. Barrowclif in this city Sunday
afternoon-where, he would not say. On
that occasion she wept when talking OF her
daughter. 1t seems strange that, if she was
in town on Sunday and was in any way So
fictitious as to her daughters condition, she
should not have visited the Hospital, instead
of waiting until Wednesday noon to do so.
FoULKEs' STORY.
Another statement was made to the police
yesterday by one who thinks he has seen
the fiend who assaulted May Barrowcliff: 1t
was made by John Foulkes of No. 62 Wales
street, who is real estate agent.
Last Friday evening he got home at half
past six o'clock coming along West Side ave-
nue. from near Montgomery street, which IS
far to the south of the scene of the assault.
In West Side avenue near the corner OF
Logan avanue, which is the next street north
of Sip avenue, he passed man and woman
standing on the sidewalk talking. He
noticed that the woman was small and
slender and that she was dressed all in black.
The only thing he remembers about the man
was that he was little taller than the
woman, and that he wore a light colored
spring overcoat. He paid no attention to
them.
Those who attach Importance to what
Foulkes saw reason that Miss Barrowclif, !,
coming out of Smiths, walked along West
Side avenue to meet man who was to es-
cort her over to Roland's He had been
walking up and down and had gone past SiE
IL L. r,f,xro
Roland's. She saw him and set out to over
take him and had stopped him and was talk
ing with him there when Mr.. Foulkes came
by.
KLEMM DIDN'T APPEAR.
As for Louis Klemm who said he had met
man on West Side avenue on the night Oh
which the assault is supposed to have taken
place, he did not turn up at Police Head
quarters last night to identify the tramp
Ennis held on suspicion. Klemm left his
home to be married two days ago, and has
not returned to his home on Delaware ave
| nue. He is expected today.
The finding of lady's hairpin on Sip ave,
nue. yesterday strengthened the theory OF
those who insist that Miss May BarrowcliH
back to the lot, The only difficulty with re-
gard to this is that no one can prove that the
hairpin belonged to Miss Barrowcllf. In
deed, such an article would have been super
fuous and useless to lady wearing her ha1l
short as Miss Barrowcliff did.
POCKETBoOK FOUND.
A pocketbook resembling thaszpne carried
by Miss May Barrowclif on tn evening Of
the murderous assault is in possession OF
the police 1t was found, the report
goes, about two hundred and fifty
yards from where Miss Barrowclitfs
body lay. 1t had been ransacked
and all that remained in it was key, which
resembles that of the front door of the Yer
non house, No. 70 Grand street. Superin
tendent Smith has put three detectives on
this new clue.
George Ennis, the tramp suspect who was
arrested upon Louis Klemm's information,
was arraigned before Justice O'Donnell this
morning. Superintendent Smith held 6
whispered consultation with the Judge and
Ennis, who has the appearance of badly
frightened man, was remanded for further
hearing.
At three o'clock the doctor asked Miss
Barrowcliff .sWho hit youa7 She answered
81 don't know" When asked if she him, She
replied, s'Yes; the DOCTOR.
