Ring a Part of the Evidence.

As in the Luetgert case, a ring may
figure prominently in the case against
RollingeT. When the postmortem ex-
animation was being held the marriage
ring on the finger of her unburned hand
would not come off. The examining
physician was about to release the ring
by severing the finger joint, but Roll
linger with tears implored that the
knife should not be used. His appeal
was effective at the time Yesterday,
however, the police decided that Rol-
fingers lawyers may raise the point
that the identification of the body has
not been established. Therefore the re-
mains may be exhumed at the St. Boni-
face cemetery to get possession of the
ring, which is regarded as good evil
dence of her identity. Complete identi-
fication of the body was impossible,
owing to the destruction of the features
by the closet fire.
The saw used by Rollinger to cut
wood was found yesterday by the police.

interesting save for suggested associa-

Thought RolIinger Unmarried.

All three of the Hecker sisters were
employed at one time in the kitchen of
Albert Fridrich's basement saloon at
131 Clark street Two of them, Marie
and Dora. still work in Fridrich's place,
and are lodged and boarded by him at
his Lake View residence, 1916 North
Halstead street. They were seen there
last evening, and one of them. Marie,
said.
I'VE all thought the man was unmar-
ried until one evening two weeks ago
when Lena came home excited and told
US that a woman claiming to be Mrs.
RoIlinger had appeared that day at the
restaurant on North RObey street.
Though we knew she loved ROllinger,
we then advised her to have no more
to do with him. She promised she
wouldn't. Oh. 1 have no doubt she will
return to Chicago, as she is innocent,
and has nothing to fear"
The police say they have found an
other woman with whom Rollinger as
ISOLATED at one time. He often left his
home, it is said, for a number of days.
His wife came to America two years
agO, and the police insist that he sent
for her merely to get her to mind his
home so he would have time for his love
affairs.
As a result of the inquest RolIinger
was held without bail on the charge of
murder In her testimony before the
corOner's jury Miss Hecker stated that

New YORK, May 17.-Locked up in

thr ee men who were discovered prowl-

The men could not give satisfactory
explanation of their presence in the
forbidden waters near the fortifica-

turned over to the authorities on the
hook. One of the men said his name
was Dennis Taylor and all said they
lived in Brooklyn. The names of the
others could not be learned.

PEACEFUL BLOCKADE OVER.
Orders to the Squadron to Shell Every
Fertilization Where Resistance
La Offered.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-President Nc
Kinley has abandoned his peaceful
blockade idea. He has had the inn
preston that the Cuban coast was
poorly defended, and that arms and
ammunition could be landed for the
insurgents at any point and at any
time without loss of life or danger to
our ships. The result of the Cardenas
affair, in which good American blood
was wasted, has, however, caused
the president to revise his
opinion. Hereafter when our
warships approach a Cuban har-
Dor it will be with business intent.
Orders were issued to-day to the COM
mander of the blockading squadron
that will give him an opportunity to
turn his ships loose on all fortifica-
tions where resistance is offered. Ev-
cry Cuban port that is strongly pro-
tected will be attacked and the bonn.
bardment will be kept up until the
Spanish guns are silenced and all gun
boats are sunk

HAVANA IS STARVING.
The Conditions There Are Said to Be Worse
Than at Any Time Since the
Weyler Regime.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 1.-THE con-
ditions in Havana resulting from the
blockade are being gradually brought
out by information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels cap
tured off the coast. Affairs at Havana
now appear to be worse than at any
time since the Weyler regime. The fish
ermen who at first braved the blockade
for the high price which fish brought in
Havana now run the risk not for money,
but for the food which they obtain
from the sea. A number of these men
have been captured at different times
by the vessels of the blockading feet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state
of things at Havana as being pitiful
in the extreme.
