on the night of the murder say that II WAS
impossible for any one to have left the
store by the front door and have reached
either corner of the street without being
seen. This seems to makesSit certain that
the person or persons who were In the store
left by the rear. The window was nm but
ten inches from the bottom when patTolman
F1llingim arrived, and the statement of the
officer is corroborated ON this point by Neil
O'Leary.
The back door Of the store was also locked
when the police arrived and there was no
key either in the door or on the kew ring
which Middleton carried and which was found
in the front door key hole.
1t was stated yesterday by Mark Yarnell
that Middleton never carried the kew to the
rear door on his ring but always had 1t de-
tackled. in his pocket. Young YarnelI was
OF the opinion that the key had been In the
pocket of Middleton's trousers and that when
the burglars took his money and watch thew
took the kay with them. arnell was en-
ployed by Middleton few weeks ago for
several days. and both before and after his
employment he was frequently about the
store. and by reason of this was ACQUAINTED
with the carrying OF the key to the back
door by Middleton.
The police contend that whoever shot Mid
dleton went out the back door and that after
going out turned and locked the door be-
hind them From this they also infer that
the person was very familiar with the
premises and was able to get to tha rear
door, open and lock it, before Middleton
reached the front door and shouted for as
ststance.
Last evening It was reported that another
witness had been found, who would testify
as to quarrel between Middleton and a
woman on Sunday night, and Detective Muir

the woman was Mrs. Yarnell The detective

Monday night, and both my wife and
little girl saw them. They were on their
way to Mrs. Yarnells house, which is
just around the corner from my store,
on Sherman street.
"a few minutes Letter both myself
and wife went to our rooms, which are
in the rear Of the building. almost Nn-
der the room occupied by Mrs. Wright.
We were up and about the
rCCms for nearly an hour and
the window opening on the alley
and within seventy feet OF Mrs ar
nelPs house was up all the time, and
yet we did not hear any of the dispute
which Mrs. Wright tells about. If there
was any loud conversation such as MIS-.
Wright claims, we certainly should
have heard it."
MRS. WRIGHT'S STORY.
Mrs Martha ], Wright. a washer
woman, living in two rear rooms on the
second floor of 2S7 West Seventh street,
was the person who gave the police the
information which resulted in the ar
rest OF Mrs. Yarnell on a charge of
numbering Middleton. Mrs. Wright did
not care to become mixed up in the
case, and until W ednesday morning said
nothing to any one about what she
heard on the night of the shooting. In
conversation Wednesday morning, she
mentioned the matter to nelghbor
and the police were at once notified.
Seen yesterday afternoon by G o e
reporter, Mrs. Wright said she had
been told by the county attorney not TO
talk about the case. She consented to
answer a few questions, however, and
her statement to the county attorney
was practically the same as that pub
lished in The G o b e yesterday.
II did not say that l saw or heard
Middleton and Mrs. Yarnell," said Mrs.
Wright. Il did not see either the man
or woman, but 1 heard their voices, and

niZed as that of Mr.. Middleton. have

but it was before u o clock. 1 guess
the doctor heard the voices, too for he
went to the window and looked out.

knew about the murder Of Arthur Mid
dleton.

needing the first question.
Orders had been left at the iaiI by
County Attorney Anderson that no one
was to see Mrs. Yarneu EXCEPT her at
tOrney, and as the reporter wanted TO
ask one or two questions before he was
eJected. no attention was paid to the
prisoners inquiry as to whether she
did or did not look like a woman who
would murder a man.
L did not shoot him and I don't
know who did the shooting. and l have
been advised by my attorney not to

This was all that the prisoner would
say and the order to keep all persons
away from Mrs. Yarnell was at this
juncture put into practical effect
