Continued from First Page.l

f were alarmed at her not coming home
 and when they heard of the murder be-
 came fearful that it might be the,r l daughter. MT. Jennet hurried to the
 morgue and there identified the mutilat- 1 ed body
 1 The police were working on the case and questioned him as to the Girl, He I told them of her infatuation for Profcs' l sor Miller and the teacher was placed
 under arrest Miller took the sltIa- l ton very coolly when he was eXanllnei at the station, Nothing could be learn l ed fro m questioning him. He was then ordered to take off his clothes and on l the shirt the police found blood sta'ns I Miller offered no explanation of then
 More stains were found cn other gar
 ments. Still Miller naintained abso- lute silence. It was then decided to lock hin up. While he was being regis tered the music teacher collapsed and tainted He was revived only to fa'nt
 again as the officers conducted him to a cell.
 Miller left his home last evening to attend lodge meeting on Maker street and returned about 11:20 o'clock appar"
  that he did not leave the meeting until II o'clock. but several persons who were there say that he left between 10 and 10:20 o'clock. The murder was commit ted at five minutes after Il o'clock as near as the officers can learn. It would have been possible for Miller to have gone from the hall on Baker street to the scene of the crime in tWeh- ty minutes This was demonstrated to- night by a reporter who made the trip in sixteen minutes. From the location of the crime to Miller's home is but a comparatively short walk.
 Tonight Miller is sleeping like child in the Grand River avenue police station While the police thlnk they have strong circumstantial eVl dence against the suspect they admit that they are still far short of enough to convict him of the murder. Nothing can be gained from Miller by question ing, He simply insists that he knows nothing of the murder
 The blade and handle of the blood stained hatchet which was found this afternoon had been washed, but there were still stains on the claw hammer end of the instrument, and on the nan de where it entered the hatchet proper. It is the theory of the police that the faint bloodstains on the towel found Tn the kitchen came from the hatchet which was wiped on it after it had been washed The hatchet was shown to Miller but be made no comment on It.
 The dead girl was organist of the Re belzah lodge, to which she belonged, and at the meeting last night she is said to have been cheerful and even gay. Miss Jannett remained until 10 o'clock and she made report there relative to her share in the lodge work. At 10 o'clock she arose and said:
 q don't see what further use you have for me and I guess I'll go home
 Wait for us and you'll have com pany," said one of those present. But the girl insisted on going and went away alone.
 The others stayed there until Il o'clock The father and mother of the murdered girl sat up late for her re- turn, but finally went to bed leaving the door unlocked, When they arose this morning they found that Carries bed was untouched The father hastily left the house and on the street met a married sister of the dead girl who in formed him that Carrie had been mur- dered
