while he stood hammcring on Major My
crs door. asking to be let in, the clock
struck two. This has been established by
half a dozen witnesses.
Mr.. Scott must have had his watch
when he left the club. 1t had been left
at the Nowlan Company. No. 921- East
Main Street, for repairs a few days be-
fore and he had just taken it away from
there on Wednesday about noon At din
ner-seven oclock-at home he had this
watch. 1t was seen by his sister-in-law
He still wore it when he left the house at
fifteen minutes past eight O'Clock to call
on some ladies. He left there at il
o'clock, and while none Of the ladies saw
the watch it could not have left his pos
session. Immediately after this call Mr.
| Scott returned home, thence he went Ci-
rect to the Commonwealth Club. lie did
| not leave the watch at home, and while
no one at the club saw the watch, again
| it seems improbable that he could have
| disposed of it any way. It must nave
| been in his pocket, therefore he PLACID
| it in his trousers pocket when he got it
when he left the club.
Here is a full description of the watch
as given by The NowIan Company: rs
Elgin. B. w. Raymond movement; No

| full description of this watch with
| the number has been sent broadcast

bureau. II it is in any pawn shop it viii
F! be found within a few days. Both the
pawn shops and the police departments
| of the various cities aye row On the look
; out for the tiGeD:ece
| Immediately after murder was COM
| nlitted Captain Hulce and the police of
! tile Third Police Station started to find
out who if any one, left the club with
Mr. Scott on Thursday morning. In this
connection many names were mentioned
and investigation was at sea. Finally
one man, among several. was asked about
it, and he not only denied that lie had
left the club with Mr.. Scott, but produced
a witness to show that he was somewhere
else at the time It was hoped that il the
person who left the club with Mr.. Scott
could be found many minor points would
be cleared away, but to date. SO far as
known, no one left the club with Nj.
Scott.
TIE DETECTIVE is 1lUM.
Detective krewson was asked last night

That was ALL Chief Tomlinson pre-
served the same golden silence in the mat
ter. Thus police channels are absolutely

Coroner Taylor. however had something
to say. u thought at first he said last
| night. that the Minnie Booker story was
! the most important of them all, and it IS
still important, although III the light of
| what Policemen Krouse and Hucher say
| it is not as important as it looked at first.
| The newspapers have greatiy aided us IL

have about the case, but now c,-n truth

THE watch MISTER. Of course, is known
to the newspapers the riding crop matter
has FADED away in view or the fact that
it has been practically settled that Mr..
I! Scott carried no riding crop. Altogether
| it begins to look very strongly like the

In connection with the story which ap-

| Lacy said yesterday:
The statement that 7 saw any one

shout murder or heard anything save his
loud Sroans and cries is incorrect.

| TWO DAYS INQUEST.
Coroner Taylor said last night that the
! inquest would proba bly, take up two lays
at least. and with other Witnesses who
may possibly be summoned as result Of
/ tho early testimony, it may go even
longer. 1t will be exhaustive IN every
/ particular. but the Coroner Will attempt
] to keep down any multiplication of evil
dence along any particular line.
Chief Tomlinson was on duty last night
Il until after II O'Clock at the Second Sta
+! ton, and this fact led to further rumors
/ of an arrest Detective Gibson was ~ III

rest last night.
When the inquest begins to-day al.
these detectives Will be on hand, Detec-
