Denver. Oct. PA woman around
whom the strongest chains of circum-
stantial evidence are being drawn is
in the county Jail. There is n murder
charge waiting to be placed against
Charles Baker and, probably, against
Mrs. Uplide Nallle. the woman whose
husband WIS found brutally murdered
at Jefferson. Park county.
Is Mrs. Vallie insane? The local an
thorities say she is either feigning in
wonderfully realistic manner or is de-
ranged mentally.
The developments of yesterday were
horrible enough 10 cause anyone who
has been under constant strain, en-
dured by Mrs. Vallie, to lose normal
conception of things and become en-
crossed in the one great, overmaster-
ing horror. Yet. she seems to have
no knowledge of 1t. to care nothing
for 1t. passing coldly by the corpse of
her husband and talking in rambling
manner of gowns she purchased in
Denver during the Carnival.
This is the feature of the case that
puzzles the officers.
Yesterday the clothing worn by
Charles Baker, the man who has been
paying court to Mrs Vallie. and to
whom suspicion points. was found in
a private closet which is situated in a
shed adjoining the Nallie home and
used almost exclusively by Mrs. Vallie.
There is door leading from the
kitchen of the Vallie residence into
the shed. The clothing found consist
