chief DOnahue's Theory.

Chief Donahue is inclined to the belief
that the crime was committed by some per-
son residing in the neighborhood of the as
sault and that this person is keeping care
fully under cover or may be protected by
friends, as 1t is the chiefs theory that the
crime may have been committed by some
degenerate who was cognizant of the hab-
its of Miss Rummelhart Last winter the
residents OF the neighborhood were greatly
annoyed by the attentions Of n "Peeping
Tom who slxulked in the alleys and even
went far as TO stand patiently in the
snow. which was many inches in depth. to
attain his ends. The theory that the crime
was consummated by a person familiar
with the ground gains additional weight
when il Is remembered that the unfortu-
nate woman's body was carried into the
rear yard Of the home Of PAM Lowe, a5S3
Dodge street, which is in the nature OF
cul de sac. there being no point OF easy
egress from the rear of the lot. Unless
the murderer was thoroughly familiar with
the ground he would hardly have run the
risk OF carrying his victim into the yard.
where discovery was imminent either by
the occupants of the Lowe home or by the
barking OF dogs This, at least. Is one of
the theories advanced by Chief Donahue
who has not abandoned home that the
guilty person may be brought TO justice.

week has passed since the citizens OF
Omaha were startled by the news of the
murder of Miss Josephine Rummelhart,
and the victim of the brutal assault has
been laid al rest. but the perpctrator of the
tiendish crime is still at large and the po-
lice have no good clue that may lead 10
his apprehension. notwithstanding the large
reward offered by public minded citizens
and the authorities in the hope Of eliclting
information concerning the murder.
Principal reliance had been laid by the
police on the various rewards offered,
after they had worked increasingly for
several days, only to have their dligent
efforts attended by what has practically
been failure. Tips and clues in abundance
have been run to earth without avail, the
mented by the addition of many officers
working as plain clothes men, and theories
galore to the circumstances surrounding
the murder have been exploded after care
full investigation by the police, who have
never relaxed one instant in their efforts
to run the guilty persons to earth. Satur-
day ii was believed that a clue had been
found which might possible be productive
Of tangible results; in fact, it appeared at
first 10 be of such paramount Importance
that it was thought advisable TO keep the
particulars of the find from the press, but
this clue, like others, developed nothing OF
importance.

Tracing the Last Clue.

Several days ago an itinerant barber hur-
riedly left the city under circumstanc, $
that seemed suspicious and it was thought
his hurried departure might have it's origin
in the renewed activities of the police and
the substantial increase i'm the amount Of
the reward offered for the apprehension of
the murderer. Several detectives were
placed at work ON this clue and it was
ascertained that the suspect could not pos
sibly have been in the vicinity of the crime
on October 8.
Sunday morning Chief of Detectives Saw
age sent several of his men out on a mis-
sion, but the results are not believed TO be
such that will lead to any new develop
ments The neighborhood i'm the vicinity
of Twenty-sixth and Dodge streets was
again carefully canvassed, hostlers and
stablemeu were interviewed, servants in
the homes of the residents were catechised
as TO their whereabouts on the night of the
assault but all the persons seen were able
to give a good account of themselves and
had seen no strange or suspicious charac-
ters abroad near the time Of the murder.
One Interesting circumstance that has
arisen within the last twenty-four hours is
that several of the best men OF the great
Pinkerton detective agency have arrived in
the city, their presence being attributed to
the mysterious murder, although it is net
known whether their presence is at the in
stance OF the police department or OF
friends of the outraged woman.
