Detective Wells followed and corrob-
Grated the statements OF Chief Of Police
Rogers and Detective Cudihee. even TO the
remotsst particulars
The chief Of police was then recalled, and
gave additional details as TO the arrest Of
the accused. He told how crasmer con-

ICED that he was suspected, became much
excited and bis demeanor was very nerv-
Gus. l offered him the hammer. He
drew back. His hands shook violently
and he refused 20 take the hammer until 1

Craemer did"
Chief Rogers then said he had no inten-

cause Of Craemer's own conflicting stories
After thearrest he brought Crasmer to
town, and, turning him over to Detective

house. There he fell in with Sheri q WOOL
cry and his deputies. and the search then
made resulted in thu discovery OF the
hand saw and the piece of hammer handle
supposed TO have been cut from the
weapon with which the murder was COM
mitted. Both the saw and the biz of wood
