OF THE CRIME. WHICH Is CONSIDERED
\ SIGNIFICANT FACT.
The mystery surrounding the murder Of Alice
Walsh who was found bleeding TO death in the
hallway OF No. iG Thompson-st. on sunday morn
ing bids fair TO be solved. This assurance Is gath
cred from the talk OF the police. The most i'm
portant development In the case IS the finding
of Big Louis" whom Mickey" Walsh suspects
OF having murdered the unfortunate woman. Big
Louis was found by tho detectives yesterday
morning. and is now in their hands The police
refuse 10 tell anything about the man. They say
he is not under arrest, but that they have him
where they want him Where he was picked up
could no, be learned but it was mos likely in one
OF the resorts near the Yorktown Hotel
Shortly after the police found big Louis"
detective went to Garland's saloon where Mickey
Walsh was lettering and led him away. 1t
supposed tina; he was taken 10 Io'icc h"aGqlart'rs
to identify big Louis" All that Is known or
Big Louis IS that be IS a truckman, and lived
on two different occasions with the murdered
woman lie is said TO have been the las; para
mour she had He answers somewhat 10 the de-
scrpton given OF the man who went TO the hotel
with Alice Walsh The police refused 10 tel what
disposition was made OF big Louis. but the pre-
sumption IS that tho detectives took him to Po-
lice Headquarters. Another significant fact which
would tend 10 show that the police saw light ahead
on the case was the conspicuous absence of de-
tcctivcs from the scene % tn" crime lhcre were
