and Suicide.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July ia
search by the police of the house of
N. M. Riggs. who killed himself at
Elroy, Wis, Wednesday night, after
being arrested for the murder of Mil.
lie Ellison in Minneapolis, has sup
piled enough evidence to convict him
of the crime even had he not acknowl-
edged it by his own act.
When the murdered girls compan-
ion fled from her room half an hour
before the tragedy was discovered, it
was known that he took her grip. as
we'll as his own. 1t was established
that he was seen at his house in Hills
bury avenue about an hour after the
girl had been found in dying con-
dition. In the house the police found
Miss Ellison's grip, while in the fur
mace were found the half charred
fragments Of the bags contents. or
these there still remained enough of
a pair of stockings to be identified,
while bottle Of medicine bore label
from Ellsworth. Wis, the home of Miss
Ellison. There was the metal part
Of an atomizer, resembling one the
deau girl was known to have used.
In Riggs room was found the gray
suit which. in connection with the con-
tents of the grip, serves amply to iden-
tify him as the man who was seen
with Miss Ellison at the National hotel
and who registered as Wilson.
Riggs was so we'll thought of at FL
roy that the village authorities hest
tated to arrest him when requested to
do so by the Minneapolis police.
