HER TEACHER
 IS SUSPECTED
(Continued from Page one.)

The blood stains were also found on his trousers. Some were found on his over coat and more on his hat The hat, derby, had evidently been washed, but not sufficiently, as blood crystals were positively identified. Captain Baker went into the cell with him after he had re- covered somewhat from his fainting fit, and spoke to him. Miller was seated. but looked up quickly and said:
 I know nothing about the natter
 In the sweat box Miller claimed that last night he attended a meeting of the Wolverine Circle, an insurance organiza- ton, on Baker Street. and that he left about Il o'clock. If true. this would be a sufficient alib. for the murder took place at Il o'clock or a few minutes af- ter.
 Mrs. Miller's Story.
 An autopsy today revealed the fact that within three or four months the girl would have become a mother. It also furnished many evidences of the brutality with which the poor girl was murdered. In addition to the other ghastly wounds on her head. her neck had been broken. Professor Miller, who is under arrest on suspicion of being the girls murderer. left his house, according to his wife. at 8 o'clock last night, saying he was going to a lodge meeting. At 20 o'clock. ac- cording to his wifes statement. he re- turned apparently cool and collected.
 A three hours search of Milers home bv officers resulted in finding a towel bearing faint traces of blood rolled up and thrust into corner of the wash stand and in the wash room. Miller came home. according to his wife's story. at II 20. less than half an hour after the murder. He went directly to the sitting room, where he met his wife and an old friend who was calling. Then he went to the kitchen to make ready tea and a light luncheon. While In the kitchen Miller was alone, His wife says he had time to wash leisurcly before either she or her friend went out there. The wash room in which the towel was found ad- joins the kitchen where Miller was pre- pairing lunch.

two Greek words meaning "a wat cry hUmor" and ito flow" But we know that rheumatism arises from a poison Circulating in the blood.
 1t will occur to the sensible person. that to cure this disease demands the use of means that will banish al poisonous material from the blood To accomplish this, it is only necessar. to use for reasonable length of tiT the remedy that has been curing rhet matism for half century. That remeG is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It purfi, the blood; that is what it is for cures because it is foe to all blood in purities. and because it makes new. rici blood. When the blood is thoroughly rP newed and in its normal condition. rheu- matism must necessarily disappear. Get the genuine. Don't take any substitute There is no remedy that is as good as Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.

the station, and one grabbed the young
man by the throat. The other negro
started to assist his companion, when
Alexander pulled his pistol and fired 1t
Point blank at the negro, whose black
fingers encircled his throat. With groan
the wounded negro sank back into the
arms of his companion and Alexander ran
for his life. At the station he told his
story and a crowd set out in search of
the miscreants, but no trace of them has
been found, though a second posse, which
started out this morning, has been in
hot pursuit.
