ing the prisoners house found package of envelopes which core spond to the one containing the fatal missive which together with the note appointing the trysting place in the field. were found among the effects of Katie Dugan after the murder was discovered
 Perhaps the strongest evidence the authorities have obtained is the dis covery of four persons who claim to have seen Katie Dugan on the night of the murder, and who are willing to swear, to the best of their knowledge and belief Albert Stout is the man who was with her on the fateful evening" One of these witnesses says he knew the murdered girl, and saw the couple quarreling the night in question. Katie was weeping when observed by the witness.
 Stout main tains his innocence and says he can prove an alibi The de- tectives who worked up the case against him are confident they have the murderer of the girl

ing the quietude and comfort of his home after busy days practice. when the summons came for him to go in haste to his office. With the assurance that he would be absent but short time, the doctor picked up his medi- cine case and started for the office. His wife waited for him until long past midnight, but he did not return. Monday dawned, but he was still ab- sent The wife became alarmed. During all the years of their welded life Dr. Conklin had been a model of punctuality. It was the first time that he had remained so long from home without reason. If his business affairs happened to keep him away even an hour longer than usual it was his in- varia able custom to advise his family. Mrs Conklin's first step was to visit the office. but beyond finding a few articles misplaced there was no other evidence that struggle had taken place. The front door was unlocked. Dr. Conklin had never failed to lock his office after business hours This suspicious circumstance, as later developments proved was evidence that his supposed mur- derers had gained entrance to the building and waited his coming. De- village detectives at work on the case now seriously question the truth of the story of the fisherman. It was he who startled the community with the sensational statement that he was awakened by cries of 70, my God! o. my God!" It has also been found impossible to fully verify the story connecting the mys- terious horse and wagon with the case Notoriety- seekers have played conspicuous parts, and by following false and misleading clews but little progress has been made

 Dr. Conklin was about feet 10 inches high, with dark brown hair and mustache, and weighed about l6O pounds. On the night of his disap- pearance he had on a gray Fedora hat, black diagonal worsted Prince Albert coat. with pants of blue stripe and gray body. He wore Maccabee pin in the lower part of his vest and carried flled-case gold watch and chain, the movement being a seven teen jeweled Hampden.
 One of the articles found on the floor of the physicians office was bottle of stry chnine. This circum- stance, while offered as confirming the theory of suicide, is not convinc- ing for the reason that his body would have been found long before this as result of the work of numerous search ing parties

 Stout is the second man arrested charged with the murder of the girl Richard Riley was arrested the morn ing after the body was found. He had kept company with the girl and it was thought that he knew something of her death. He proved that he had been at the fair of the Church of the Sacred Heart on the night of the mur- der and stayed until II o'clock. He left there and went to the home of Franklin Ferrel No. 1O5 West Twenty third street and remained until 4 o'clock on Thursday morning. He was discharged. s-1
 The police then, for some reason yet unknown, suspected Stout and sub jected him to an unremitting watch. He soon knew he was being shadowed, but his nerve was great, and even under the most trying situation he never finched or lost his coolness for an instant Frequently he was called from the office of his employers to face people who were brought there SoAe1y 4or tue purpose Ol seeing II they could identify him as the man they had seen walking with Katie Dugan on the night of the murder He knew their object but invariably bore their scrutiny with an unmoved expression, and ended the interview with confident smile.
