ASTRANGLER'S DEED
Theory Regarding the Death
Of Alice Brown.
DIAMOND FLOSSIE CASE RECALLED.
The Police Entertain the Belief That
Both Women Met Death at the
Hands OF One aud the
Same Man.

BOSTON, Nov. 6.-The circumstances
attending the death of Alice Brown,
who was found dead in her room at 10
Corning street. are so similar to those
surrounding the murder of Maggie
Riley, better known as Diamond Flos-
sic, at 22S West Twenty-fourth street
New York last April that the police
think that both women were victims of
the same man.
The theory Of a Jack the Stranger
who is responsible for many murders
among women of the same outcast
class, is strongly entertained. Diamond
Flossie was found in her bed with a
rope tightly lnotted around her throat
one end of which was attached to the
framework of the bedstead. In the case
of Alice Brown the bedclothes were
Looted around the framework of the
bed in a similar manner.
The names of the men first detained
in connection with the case are Edward
Hurd. proprietor of the house. and
Thomas Hughes and John Curran.
dodgers. They are held as witnesses,
and yesterday ]. T. Stowell was taken
into custody. He is also held as a wit
ness. 1t is learned that eight finger
marks were found on the young wo-
mans throat by DR.. Draper
officer Kelley, who went to work on
the case. says he has found a young
woman who was a most intimate friend
of the dead girl. This woman says
Alice's name was not Brown. but Red
mond or Rediman. She thinks that
Alice came from Amherst. She also re-
calls the fact that a few days ago
Alice received a letter postmarked En-
field, Mass. She seems to attach some
little Importance to this circumstance
and is under the impression that Alice
told her that she had relatives in that
town.
One Of the occupants Of the lodging
house adheres to the assertion that he
heard strange man ask the girl to
marry him. The young woman was
heard to reply Il would not marry the
best man on earth"
Yesterday morning a Miss Golmore
called at station and told the officers
that she was an old friend of the dead
girl The most important thing that
she had to say was that Alice was ad-
dicted to the use of morphine. II
seems that nearly a week ago Alice had
said to her: There's nothing for me
in life now. Live or die. it is all the
same to me-"
It is stated that Alice had been in a
Worcester insane asylum and had been
more or less despondent since her re-

Police Court Lawyers Drought 10
Task for Their Dnd Grammar.
A very noted politician-lawyer was
arguing q case once before Justice
PrindiYille. 1t was a repleyin sait and
the lawyer was making what he
thought was an impassioned plea, says
the Chicago Chronicle. He contended
that the property in question belonged
to his client. He waved his arms and
sawed the air AS the peroration TO
his speech he shook his fist at the justice
and beloved in stentorian tones:
Them things is ourn."
Instantly the opposing counsel
sprang to his feet, his voice trembling
with indignation. II object, your
honor" he cried, "to the gentleman's
language / am surprised to hear such
statement in a court Of justice. i
ask that the gentleman be compelled
TO correct the statement which he has
just made-a highly improper state
ment, as your honor well knows"
Justice Prindiville leaned forward,
and the political attorney, greatly be-
wildered. said: whats your objec-
tion?" The justice repeated the ques-
tion, being himself a tfihe mystifed
as to what the lawyer found objection
able in the language.
The objecting cousel drew himself
up proudly and said: "IIe should have
said: Those things are ours not
Them things is ouru,' your honor"
The counsel who had slaughtered IN

smiled and the trial proceeded.
