poisoning Ryan. But 1t is known
for a certainty that she got the dead
mans watch ard greater part on
the money and left town Immediately
after the finding of Ryan's body. She
expected to be Joined by tie Smith
woman. Where this mysterious thlrd
woman has gone, is something for the
officers TO find out The women now In
custody either can not or will not tell
where she has gone.
SHIELDING THE MEN.
In addition to Flemming admitting
that he was In the house at the time OF
the murder, Wilson has also confessed
that he was there. At first he denied
all knowledge Of the affair, and his
mistress did all In her power to shield
him, but the facts We're obtained late
yesterday afternoon. But who carried
the body out? The officers know abso-
lutely that II was either Flemmlng or
Wilson or both That both knew Of the
robbery. that both knew Ryan had been
doped, that both knew his body was In
the closet Is now positively known and
is a matter OF record But for some
unknown cause, Madge Ray Is shield
Ing Flemmlng and the Smith woman is
shielding Wilson, Flemming swore TO
the officers that he dd not know the
Ray woman at all, but when they were
together In the chiefs Office yesterday
afternoon, he exchanged signals with
the woman But whichever 1t was who
carried the body out, II is certain that
both have a guilty knowledge Of the
crime. Chief Paul Is morally certain
that Flemming did II, because he has
been made to admit TO the Smith wo-
man In the presence OF the officers that
shortly after the body was removed
from the lower room, he returned TO the
"crib" pale and excited and cautioned
the negress TO keep quiet.
MIGHT HAVE SAVED RYAN.
1t was also stated last evening that
had little good judgment been used
Ryans life could undoubtedly have
been saved. A Waterman was passing
through the alley between 4 and 0
o'clock and distinctly heard Ryan
grooming In the vile place where his
body was found. The Waterman said
he supposed It TO be some drunken
miner and he did not deem II worth
while to investigate.

Since the arrest Of the two women,
Mary Smith has been locked In a cell
in the 1all. while Madge Ray has been
held IN the detectives room on the east
side OF the hall al the police station.
The officers thought she would be secure
enough there and had no fear OF her
trying 10 escape. But In this opinion
they were wrong. Last evening plot
looking 10 her escape was unearthed by
Taller Kimball and other officers ana
IL was nipped In the bid just In time.
After making the damaging state
ments she became alarmed for her own
safety and realizing that the net had
been drawn closely about her, she de-

before dark she managed 20 SIP the
catch Of the door unnoticed ana IN
some mysterious manner had arranged
with n negro confederate TO come FOR
