der Donovan, the companion and al
legged nephew of Mrs. Richard Barry,
whose mysterious death has worried
the police since the discovery of her

himself to the Chief of Police late to-

been on protracted debauch, and was
ordered locked up until he became
sober. He is about % years of age.
When sobered up he told the story
OF his friendship for Mrs. Barry. He
said she invited him to come here from

watch to pawn. On his return from
paWning the watch, he heard Mrs.
Barry grooming and cautioned her to
be quiet, and as the noise continued he

the pin for drink.

Mrs. Barry was addicted to the use of
opium. He admitted, however, that she
was a heavy drinker, frequently re-
naming on debauch for several days
at a time.

fortunate woman, arrived from Para
disc Valley, Nevada to-day, and in
formed the police that, besides the pin
and other trinkets now in the hands of
