West Chester, Pa, May IS Chief Of
Police Jefferis has in his possession the
name of the man he believes may have
killed Stella Brown Morrison. Although
this man cannot be found, the authori-
ties are making every effort to locate
him.
He was an acquaintance OF the MUIR
dered woman and is known to have vis-
tied her. Sensational stories that the
murderer visited the scene of the crime
Saturday night and broke into the house
to recover the actual weapon with which
the woman was slain, are denied by the
authorities. A window in the Morrison
mouse was broken, but it is not believed
that the murderer did it, However, i
is now known that Stella was not
beaten to death with ahoe block.
The real weapon has not yet been fecoV-
cred.
Chief Jefferis went to the Morrison
homestead this afternoon to make care
full search for the weapon. Ii it is found,
there is likelihood that it may point to
tie murderer Gossip concerning the
murder took startling turn IN West
Chester this afternoon. The authorities
who were 10th to abandon their hunt tol
Stella Morrison's friend, were compelled
to pay attention to the common talk, anc
it is likely that tonight will see new
turn of investigation started.
Today's gossip was started by severa
persons, who went over carefully the
evidence at the inquest held last Friday
night. From the evidence it was noteC
that none uf the men who were near thu
Morrison homestead last "Wednesday
afternoon had seen any stranger in thu
vicinity. George Faucett passed the houst
before the crime is supposed to have beer
committed.

DEATH OVERTAkES
CITY COUNCILMAN
IN AWFUL FORM
Jonathan Groves Head Crushed
in by Blow From a
Stone Jack.
WORKMEN FOUND HIM DYING
City Official Wa Prominent Demo-
crat and Represented the Eighth
Ward---The Deceased Leaves
q Widow and Four
Children.

City officials, Councilmen and citizens
were shocked yesterday by the
tragic death of City Councilman Jonathan
Groves, which secured about | O'Clock
Yesterday morning at William David
sons marble and granite works of which
he was foreman.
The accident occurred in the basement
of the building. Some men had been
raising stone, which weighed probably
four tons, to get it in position for work
ing on it advantageously. A jack was
being used and after the stone had been
raised to certain height the men left it
and went to another part Of the works.
Daniel Palmer, one of the men, went to
look for Groves, who, it was known, was
somewhere about the place, but was un-
able to find him. Palmer returned to
the room where the stone was and found
Groves lying unconscion" On the ground
beside the stone and the jack, which had
sprung out from under the stone, along
side Of him. Blood was gushing from a
wound on the lead. The skull had
evidently been faaured.
William Davidson was one Of the first
to reach the scene of the accident and
after he felt Groves pulse, thought here
might still be some life in the apparently
de ID man.
The Phoenix ambulance had been
summoned and fastened with Groves to
th- Delaware Hospital, but before the
hos pital was reached it was found that
lie was really dead. The body was taken
to the morgue and later to the residence
OF the deceased, No. 10 Kirkwood
street.
He was 81 wears Of age and is survived
by a widow and four children. This is
the third death in the Groves family
during the year. First his father, then
! a child and now the husband. His father
was James Butler Groves. who fol
many years was sexton OF Old Swedes
Church.
Mr. Groves was an active Democratic
worker and was sent to Council from
the Eighth Ward at tue last city election
and at once became popular official
He was a member of Wilmington Lodge
A. o, o. w.
He was we'll liked by his fellow work
men and held in high esteem by hi
employer. He had been employed a
Davidson's since 1855.
The funeral will probably take piac
on Thursday. Coroner Nandevet vii

WEST CHESTER POLICE KNOW WHO KILLED STELLA MORRISON
special to The sun,

was committed, saw no stranger that
afternoon. "Wash' Morrison, George
H. Jones and George Sharpless, son of
Minshall Sharpl4ss, were in field in
sight OF the Morrison place most OF the
day, Each man accounts for the others
movements, although these men were not
close together all Wednesday afternoon.
At the inquest George Sharpless and
Jones contradicted one another's testi-
mopy and their evidence has caused con-
siderable speculation. Jones testified
that in the,morning he said to Sharpless,
as though he had presentiment, that
something would happen: "Wouldn't 1t
be GOOD time for some one to do up
Stella?" When questioned as TO what he
meant by these words, Jones said: IL
lust happened to come into his head. "
George Sharpless contradicted Jones's
statement. He said he had not heard
Jones make such remark.
That afternoon "Wash'' Morrison and
Sharpless worked in a field together'
while Jones cleaned buggy not far
away. The men all say that none o.
them was out OF sight OF the other until
o'clock, when Morrison's father told
them of the murder. The police seem
satisfied tnat tntlf Stories are liue, al
though the differences in the statements
OF Sharpless and Jones are not accounted
for. Both men bear good regulations
Jones is said to have visited the Morri
son homestead frequently to be shaved
by "Wash" Morrison. He never wen
there to visit Stella.
West Chester is criticising its police
department for not making better pro
gress in the case. Charles IL. Penny

in general alarm. The fire had started
in the spike mill, which was 36l fret
long by 12l feet wide Chief Sasse saw
that portion of tile mill was doomed
and paid all his attention to the portion
which had not caught, as well as to the
surrounding buildings.
The result of this wise and prudent

was consumed The loss was only
$50, 600, instead of probable 81 600, 900.
