There is some doubt expressed as TO
whether or not Ryan got the woman

strange man and woman were seen at
Sandy week ago last Monday They
were peddling spectacles and claimed

poorly dressed Her shoes were very
nearly worn out She Is said TO have
disappeared on Monday night and her
supposed brother was inquiring for her
about Sandy
The woman did not show uD again
until last Sunday after the murder
must have been committed 1t was. no
ticed that she then wore a new pair Of
shoes and also a new black waist which
answered pretty well TO the description
OF the shoes and waist sold e Ryan by
Mr. Bernstein at Murray. Much. there
fore. depends upon whether or not the
woman Joined Ryan at Ogden or wheth-
cy she joined him IN Sandy II is be-
lieved that the couple that was In San
dy can be easily located and the only
question 10 determine Is whether or
