the day, but toward evening Hadley
telephoned that he would come home
to dinner, but he did not put in an
appearance. Miss Dixon explained
that after Hadley's disappearance she
burned some of Hadleys clothes and
gave other articles to her brother in

stories had frightened her, and she
admitted to the police that she sus-
pected Hadley.
Miss Dixon said that the handker-
chief found in the room where Nora
Fuller's body was found was similar
to some owned by Hadley. She posi-
lively identified certain writings of the
man Hawkins as being T.adley's hand
writing Hawkins was the name signed
by the man who rented the Suffer
street house from Umsden & Co, the
real estate firm. Miss Dixon states
that Hadley was the possessor of some
false moustaches and boards and that

them in the house, she had never seen
him on the streets in this disguise.
