MURDER DONE TO
SAVE MURDERER
This Is Theory Of Sheriff in the
Ryan Case.
WOMAN IS BEING WATCHED
OFFICERS HAVE LEARNED DAM
AGING CIRCUMSTANCES
WOMAN IS BEING WATCHED

M ORDERED for money TO be used
WI in an effort to save a convict's
neck from the moose. Such is the
latest theory advanced in explanation
OF the motive for the murder of Will
IAN \. Ryan. the spectacle peddler
~~liose dead body was found near Little
1o''olWood creek a week ago. This
theory has arisen from INVESTIGATIONS
made by the officers which tend fo con-
nrm their suspicion that the woman
uesCIlped first in the Heralds article
yesterday morning was connected IN
some way with the crime The sheriff
ana his men are seeking to draw the
net about this woman and "A man who
IS relative Of hers by marriage Yes
teLday Sheriff Emery and Deputy Bur
olase drove north through Davis
county gathering information about the
woman who was seen with Ryan while
ne was travelling through that part of
the country
The sheriff stated after his return
last night that IN every instance the
description of the woman seen with
Ryan tailed with that OF the woman
under suspicion. With this informa-
lion the officers in Ogden are at work
day and night tracing every movement
OF the woman TO and after her depar-
ture from the city.
Husband Now Under Sentence.
The woman around whom the
threads of evidence seem to be winding
most tightly is believed to be the ex-
VIE Of man now under sentence Of
ueath. The descriptions tally with her
exactly. and other things point to her
and male relative Of the convict as
the guilty persons, it is said. The con-
Wet Is under death sentence for muir
der. and repeated Efforts have been
made to save his neck Only a short
time ago another effort to get a new
trial was set on foot, but for lack of
funds il has not been secured. New
evidence. it is claimed. has been Sc
cured in the case that. it is believed.
would clear the convict could he get
another chance before the bar OF jus
tice. The eX-wife and the male rela-
tive are known to have been taking
considerable interest ia behalf Of the
prisoner. This is taken by the officers
as a basis for the new theory.
Reasoning of officials
Their argument is that money was
needed to save the neck of a relative.
Ryan was known to the woman, and
she knew that he had money that she
needed 10 save her former husband.
She worked herself into the good graces
of the peddler. kept UP a COmmuniCa-
ton with the male relative, and shaped
matters into a favora bic condition for
the murder and robbery.
Where this man and woman are the
officers do not know. but every. effort
is being made TO get trace of them and
secure sufficient evidence to warrant
their arrest. The sheriff states that
while he feels almost confident of the
guilt Of the persons under suspicion. he
will make no arrests until he has suffi-
Cient evidence to make a good case.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., July 1S.-President
Roosevelt passed comparatively quiet
day at Sycamore Hill. At luncheon he
and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained party
including George Won L. Meyer, United

Mrs. Low of New York City; George

OF the London Times; w. L. Ward of
New York. and the house guest, Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler of Column
bia university.
Ambassador Meyer arrived in this
country recently from Rome and came
here 70 pay his respects TO the presi-
dent. 1t is learned that rumors of his
resignation as ambassador TO Italy
have no foundation in fact.
During the day the president and
Mayor Low discussed the political sit
uatiOn in New York City. 1t is under
stood that the mayor will be a Candi-
date for denomination and reelection
and that the administration will aid
him TO the extent at least Of lending
him its strong moral support.
