the sounds of his tread were undoubtedly
heard in the room.
If the man in the room thought any
thing of his female companion he nat
uraliy thought of her safety. He heard
persons in the hallway ard. fearing that
the shots had been located and that as
sistance was coming, he naturally dl-
rected the woman to leave by the only
available exit. To protect her retreat
he remained behind while she descended
the iron fire escape and. entering the win
dow into the parlCr made her way to her
room.
Whether Hopkins heard anything is
not known. but one of the ladies on the
fifth floor near his room stated that she
heard him rapidly return to his room
and quickly shut and lock the door After
everything had quieted down the man
in the room is supposed to have left the
room by the fire escape IN order to fol-
low his companion and make sure that
she had not been injured in descending
the t0rtuous ladder This would also en-
able him to leave the door bolted and
delay the finding Of the body.
At that hour of the morning North
Capitol Street is deserted. it not being a
through street, and after the persons who
We're attracted by the noise had left their
windows there would have been practical
~ no one to see him on the fire escape.
The desire Of the persons who did hear
anything or recognize any voices to avoid
the scrutiny that their appearance on the
witness stand would subject them to proba-
bly, operated to prevent them from telling
all that they knew, and it was only last
night that the first of them gave anything
like a satisfa CtOry account of themselves
to the detectives.
Now that the unTaVeling of the skein
has commenced, it is believed that all of
the persons will find that it will be to their
own advantage TO tell all that they know.
While man appears to be figuring in
the case at the present time. the detectives
still admit that il is possible that a wo-
man alone is responsible for the deed.
