The morning call., 1894-12-15

conductor who had known Ware for years.
but he could throw no light upon the
crime.
DIR. S. j. Fraser of 1918 Mission street
stated that he saw two men standing
against the railing in front of the drug
store at IL o'clock. The light was then
burning in the store.
The next person who had story to tell
was A. Nichols, who lives at 16 Sharon
street: 81 was passing the corner OF Mar
ket and Ridley streets at 6 O'Clock IN the
evening when saw near the corner man
sitting on large stone. One OF ms snoes
was off, and he had a large knife with
which he was cutting paper. The boys In
the neighborhood said the man had told
them that he was going to kill himself or
some one else. They thought be was
crazy"
This was important and made the foun-
dation of the theory that Ware had been
butchered by a maniac. The police are
looking for toe man who sat on the stone.
Then came Louis Krieger, a candy
maker. who lives at $50 Sixth street. He
stated that he was walking up Market
street with his sister, and at II or 1915
O'Clock left her at the corner Of Market
aud Ninth streets and went in the drug
store. where he was waited upon by a
young man who came from behind pre-
scription case. There was no one else in
the place, and when he came out he saw
a woman on the sidewalk apparently look
ing for car.
Mrs. Lambert, who passed the store
at 1890 O'Clock, told the police that the
light was burning at that time.
The police by these witnesses estab-
lished the fact that the crime was CON-
mitted between II 80 O'Clock, when Mrs.
Lambert saw the light burning, and 1:15
o'clock. when PatroIman O'Day found the
place in darkness.
Evidence of the 'woman in the case"
now began to accumulate. Officer John
Galloway remembered that four weeks ago
he found the store in darkness at II :45
o'clock in the morning and saw Ware and
woman inside.
Patrolman II. ellis witnessed that he
passed the drugstore at 1915 o'clock yes
to-day morning and saw a man leave
woman at the corner OF Market and Ninth
streets, cross the street and enter. The
man was probably the candy-maker whose
story is told in the foregoing.
Max Mannheim Of 524 Herman street says
that he passed the corner at 1890 O'Clock
in the morning. There was no light in the
drugstore and handsome young woman
was standing on the sidewalk outside.
A rumOr became current early in the
afternoon that a telephone girl had COM
versed over the wire with the murdered
drug clerk late Tuesday night. Miss Maud
Levinswood was her name and she was
employed at the station corner of Pine
and Steiner streets.
Miss Levingwood was interviewed and
stated that she and Ware had talked over
the line between Il 80 and II o'clock
Thursday night.
"He called me-" she said, land asked
him how he was feeling.
'''I am feeling very badly tonight was
the reply.
elias your sweetheart gone back on
you?'
s.. Please don't talk that way to me I've
the blues. I'm feeling very bad. Please
excuse me-a policeman wants TO buy some
gum"
Then the conversation ended. The OPP
orator said she had known Ware for some
time, but did mot know why he was
"blue.'
Policeman Harper proved to be the
officer who bought gum at the store. He
said that he entered at 80 o'clock, and
two men came in after him.
One was about feet inches tall. He
had a dark mustache and was neatly
dressed in black. He looked like
