go from the hall on Baker street to the
scene OF the crime in twent minutes.
81 Ihls was demonstrated tonight by a re-
porter who made the trip in sixteen min
utes. From the location of the crime to
Miller's home is but comparatively short
walk
Tonight Miller is sleeping quietly in the
Grand River Avenue police station.
Nothing can be gained from Miller by
questioning He simply insists that he
knows nothing Of the murder The blade
and handle of the blooa-stained Ratchet
which was found this afternoon had been
washed, but there were still stains on the
claw hammer end of the instrument and
on the handle where it entered the
hatchet proper. 1t is the theory of the
police that the faint blood stains on the
tower found In the kitchen came from the
hatchet which was wiped on it after it
had been washed. The Ratchet was shown
10 Miller this evening, out he made no
comment on it.
Police Are DOubIy Bamed.
The police admit tonight that thew
have not reached a solution of the muir
der Of George Haywood head bookkeep-
er of the Michigan Malleable Iron
works, whose battered and IifeIess body
was found at daylight this morning
within 100 yards of his home William
Jones' who roomed in Heywood's home
was arrested on suspicion this morning
and was still in custody tonight, although
a sweating examination lasting all dav
and this evening failed to bring from
him any damaging admissions.
Mrs. Haywood, who was escorted to no
lice headquarters at noon and CLOSELY ex-
amlned this afternoon and evening, was
permitted to return to her home to-
nlSht. The officers say that no informa-
ton was secured from her that would
help identify her husbands slayer.
Heywood's murderer first shot him and
then crushed in his forehead with some
heavy instrument. The bullet took effect
behind his right ear, and in itself would
nave caused death. The murderer an
parently then stopped over his victim
and dealt him a heavy blow on the fore
head.
After Jones arrest, officers searched his
room at the Haywood house Jones was
plumber and made a speciality OF re-.
pairing gas stoves. In his kit of tools
was found a machinist's hammer which
the officers assert fits perfectly the hole
IN Heyweod's forehead.
Boys Testimony Is Taken.
In lot near where the body was dis
covered revolver was found which Hev-
woods sen at first positively identified
as belonging to Jones. Later in the dav
however, the lad was not so sure of the
Identification. Jones was cool through
out his sweating and told freely all he
said he knew of the tragedy. During the
examination Of Heywood's little daugh-
ter, Kate, by the officers the fact was de-
Veloped that she heard a shot fired about
3 o'clock this morning
The officers have located persons who
say that Haywood, who attended a dance
yesterday evening, three blocks away
from his home, left at 2:55. Mrs Hey
wood told the officers that at o'clock in
the morning she gave Jones a headache
powder. He had been suffering from a
headache and she had given him a finai-
lar powder earlier in the evening.

OF William F. Jones, who is held In De.
troit as witness in the Haywood rnI,r-
der in that city and who claims Lincoln
as his home, apparently cannot be estab-
lished here. No such name has apneared
