the afternoon he was taken TO the house
where the crime was com N ltted, and Mrs.
Lsgg DO itively identified him as the man
she saw running from the house after she
ana her father had been aroused by the
screams of the urdered woman.
Mrs. Legg said that when she heard the
screams and the sound OF a heavy body
falling to floor she realiZ d that tn re
was something wrong, and she ran into
the bedroom OF the fat where she and
her husband lived and secured her hus-
bands revolver and started up the stairs
to the floor above. She had gone a little
more tLsn half way up the stairs when
the door OF the room where the body of
the murdered woman was found was
opened and Hoff rushed out He was
excited and he started when he sa W her.
He stood irresolule for a moment, then
crossed The hall and hastily entered the
front room, slamming the door behind
him. Mrs. Legg said she realized that she
would be helpless against the man and
she turned to seek aid from some of the
neigh bors. She had reached the bottom
of the stairs when she heard the door OF
the front room open and the man walk
toward the rear of the house along the
uncarpeted hall. She rushed to the rear
of her fat and locked the back door, fear
ing the man miglt enter her rooms by
that entrance She heard him start down
the stairway at the rear of the house and
then she rushed TO the front door along
with her invalid father, and while they
stood at the front door they saw Hoft
emerce from the side gate and start up
the hill toward Liberty street.
They called after him, asking him what
was the matter in the rooms on the top
fat, but II IF fastened his steps and
when he was called to again be broke into
a run and disappeared around the corner
of Liberty street. c. B. Legg, the father
in-law of Mrs. Legg, also positively identi-
fed the prisoner as the man he saw run
from the house after emerging from the

and lays the blame of t crime on an I'M
known well-dressed man VINO was ap-
parenlly well known to the murdered
woman.
Mrs. L. A. Legg, WHO resides in rooms
on The floor below the one where Mrs.
Clute had engaged apartments at s03
Guerrero street, will be the main witness
that Hoff was the murderer. Shortly after
the crime was discovered on Wednesday
night she gave the police the description
OF a man who she believed was the last
person who was with Mrs. Clu'e, and his
actions gave her reason to believe that he
was the murderer. She said the man was
short, about five feet six inches in height
with full dark beard and moustache, and
apparently a foreigner. He was engaged
to assist Mrs. Clute 10 move her furniture,
and he was to make over some mattresses
foT her and TO do much of the hard work
in arranging the furniture.

commented upon, and he said he had re-
ceIved the cut from a tack that had caught

! he did not say where.
| The police believe the wound was in
| f1icted by the coupling pin he used to kill
! Mrs. Clute. The weapon had rough edge
and one sharp point o: iron stuck up from
it near one end. 1t is thought that the

| the struggle and that the cut was made in
his hand at that time. A spot OF blood on
the weapon near the sharp point and at a
spot wh%e the pin would be gras ped if
used to strike blow bears out the belief.
The police, supported by the opinions OF
Police Surgeons Bunnell and Kearney,
who say that the wound could not have
been caused by tack or a nail or the
rough edge of piece OF mating, believe
that the wound will be strong link in
the chain of evidence they will weave
around the prisoner, and had the wounded

depth.

The Ideal Home.

The ideal home is one that
ministers to the needs Of all
those who make it. It is the
place where sympathy, interest,
Intelligent understanding OF even
the moods of it's circle, iBspira-
ton, and above all, repose are
found. The ideal home ministers
intelligently to the needs of the
spiritual and intelligent nature,
as well as the physical. It's de-
velopment unto perfection de-
ponds on the combined efforts of
it's responsible members. The
ideal home was never attained by
the efforts of one, but by the CO.
operation of all. This does not
mean that each shall fit himself
into mold. A perfect home is
like perfect mosaic, where each
pearl, with it's individual differ
ence, fits in it's place to make the
perfect design. The corner stone
of the ideal home is love; it is
love that is it's life: love is it's in
spiration, it's defense, it's crown
of victory. Sorrow, defeat,
shame itself are vanished where
love has it's perfect work. go
world, where is Thy sting. 0
poverty, where is thy victory;"
is the paan of him who is shell
tered in the love that makes the
ideal home.
