The item in the Courier supplement
of the Semi-Weekly of September 26,
purporting to be from Douds, and dat

rect. Attorney Work of Ottumwa and
County Attorney Harlan of Keosau-
qua were not here comforting in re-
gard to the Morrow case, in fact were
not here at all. The general under
standing here evidently IS, that the
people interested in the investigation
of the case do not consider that the
young man claimed to be under arrest
in Kansas is the real criminal who
caused the girls death. The public
here generally believe the grand Jury
and the county attorney are using all
the means in their power to unravel
this horrible crime. and it is generally
understood that the resolutions adopt,
ed by the republicans in their late pri
mary did not refer to them, but to par
ties in this community

home. III K Street northwest. early
Tuesday morning. December 10. has been
abandoned. The modiste is dying at the
Garfield Memorial Hospital. and according
to the attending physicians her death IS
only the matter OF few hours. It is not
believed she can survive another twenty
four hours
A consultation was held at noon today
by the physicians attending Mrs. Dennis,
and despair was clearly visible on their
countenances when they descended from
the ward where the Inodiste lies.
Statement OF DIR. Atkinson.
Dr. Atkinson, the Dennis family ply
stefan, when approached by a Times re-
porter said:
The condition Of Mrs Dennis is most
critical Her death is perhaps only the
matter Of a few hours She had sink
ing spell taIs morning. but she rallied
slightly again at noon. Her heart. how
ever, is very weak, and she is in state
Of physical collapse
When asked how he accounted for the
fact that Mrs. Dennis remained n a com
atose condition for 50 protracted a period,
Dr. Atkinson said
The fact that she has remained IN
conscious so long can be easily. account
ed for IN the first place We do not know
the extent Of the injuries to the skull
and brain. and again we do not know if
the base Of the brain is affected as the
result of the assault This win all be
cleared UP by the autopsy that viii be
held when death eHsues, but the extent Of
her injuries so far as the skull and brain
are concerned cannot be determined until
then.
Detectives still en- Duty.
Detectives Horne. Hartfgan. and Nc
Nance were on duty at the hospital to
day, ready to respond TO a summons to
the death scene of the dying nodiste.
Mrs. Kate Dunn. the sister Of Mrs. Dennis
was also at the hospital. waiting in hope
of being permitted to be with her sister
when she breathed her last.
The police are stiT a. sea. so far as any
clue TO the possible murderer OF Mrs
Dennis is concerned. MAJOR Sylvester has
promised promotion to any member OF The
department who viii furnish the neces-
sary evidence 10 solve the mystery and
bring the assaiIant Of Mrs. Dennis tc

into Captain Boardman-s Office. the doors
were locked. and they remained in secret
conference for fifteen or twenty minutes
At its conclusion they hurried cut Of TIE
building and started in the direction ot
the District Attorneys Office.
Captain Boardr ans face was careworr
and troubled, and it was evident that
some new and difficult problem had pre-
sented itself. He refused to make any
statement. and apparently had taken &c
one into his confidence other than the
officer who had brought him the iufor-
nation.
