A gold watch which he had given
the dead woman was also found in the
deposit vault.
Each additional bit of evidence Sc
cured but serves to deepen the infamy
under which Nathan Riggs went to
death. s
Not an extenuating circumstance
anywhere appears. but everything
points to a crime conceived With hide
Gus and diabolical shrewdness, perpe-
trated with hellish ferocity, and leav-
ing the perpetrator of it forever en-
quilted in the depths Of ignominy and
hatred.

found out to be Nathan M. Riggs, who
was described as conductor on the
Omaha. The description that was
vouchsafed from the town marshal at
Ellsworth at once struck Chief Doyle
and his detectives as being almost ex-
actly that of the man who registered
at the National hotel as M. ]. Wilson
of Milwaukee, and who because of his
suspicious actions was connected with
the crime from the moment of it's dis
covery.
It was shortly before o'clock yes
terday morning that the Minneapolis
police department came into posses
sion of direct information connecting
Riggs with Miss Ellison, and apparent
ly duplicating him in the affair. With
in an hour it was learned that Riggs
was in Elroy, and, as the chief of po-
lice of that town expressed it over the
telephone, where the authorities can
put hand on him in a moment"
"Then don't let 1t take you over q
minute" was Chief Doyles laconic an
swer.
JdmCS LillSOu, I'll LllSWOTIh, w 49,,
arrived in Minneapolis yesterday
morning and positively identified the
body of the murdered woman as that
of his sister Mile.
Mr.. Ellison said that when his Sis
ter left Ellsworth she had about $2,7OO
in drafts and about $1,135 in cash. She
had the drafts cashed in Minneapolis
the day she was murdered. No trace
of this money can be found, and the
supposition is that the murderer took
it away with him.
Riggs stated that he knew nothing
of the killing of Miss Ellison. The to-
tai amount Of money claimed to have
been taken from the dead woman is
$3,5OO It is said that no unusual
amount of money was found in the
possession Of Riggs when he was ar
rested.
Among the most interesting discov-
cries made in Nathan NJ Riggs rail-
way locker is q "come-on" letter writ
ten by Riggs to Miss -Millie Ellison,
outlining their plans and completely
corroborating the police theory of the
relationship sustained between the
two. The epistle is In cipher-that is,
q combination of dots, letters, arbitra
ry signs and figures.

one and all, they invariably point to
Riggs as the perpetrator of what Is
universally conceded to be the foul
est and most cold-blooded murder that
has taken place in Minneapolis in a
decade.
Follows Daily Routine.
Riggs, the man who is thus suspect
ed Of the murder OF the Ellison wom-

THE TuRPEHTINE MARKET.
Prices Still Dubious-Export De.
mands neutrality-suspicious. in
Excellent Shape.

Spirits condition remain practically
unchanged. The same large domes-
tic buyer mentioned in our last issue
shows the same willingness to sustain
the market when it developes new
weakness. After dropping to 81 cents
there was one days squirt to
81 Ia, but then the price settled down
to 57-cent basis with the prop re-
ferred to keeping it there. When the
market showed signs of weakness this
buyer came in and bought, but when
the other buyers wanted stuff there
was no inclination to force values up
on them, but rather disposition to
stand aside and let them have the
stuff. AS it is the market cannot be
regarded as in promising state, de-
pending apparently on the policy of
one large buyer. If this buyer were
to withdraw it would be an open
question as to whether the market
would stay where it is or take a tum-
BILE. Weather conditions are reported
getting down to a more normal state
over large part of the turpentine
sections in Georgia and Florida, the
woods are pretty soggy, yet the re-
ceipts are coming in pretty well and
after few days more of drying out
they should get to average figures
for this time of the year. 1t is to be
regretted that the market does not
take on more firmness and move up
peg for the benefit of the producers,
but it now looks very much as though
for some time to come the market
would be in very dubious state. The
foreign demand remains small, buy
ers over there apparently feeling that
they have everything to gain by hold
ing of, and the offers made for spir-
its from the other side are not basis
that permits of sales at a profit. The
American consumers are still toting
the market and it is most fortunate
thing for the turpentine producers
that this has been year of prosper
ity in the United States, or prices
would have suffered considerably
more than they have done. There is
no rift in the turpentine cloud appar-
ent and nothing on which to base a
hope that there will be any improve
ment in value or in general condi-
tons in the near future. The situa-
ton will probably continue doubtful
for some time, and it would not be
surprising at any time to see further
weakness develop. II looks very much
as though it were pretty well up to
one large domestic buyer to sustain
values for the time being.
The receipts of turpentine at Sa-
vannah for the week ending yester-
day were $500 casks. and the posted
sales 4.524 casks. the market, how
ever. having been cleaned up at the
close yesterday.

Il looks like an impossibility to get
common resins down or hold them
down even when they go on a little.
Consumers seem to want them so
much that a keen rivalry at once
shows itself among the buyers, and
up go prices again. so that the gener-
nj high level Of values for them is
well maintained. The past week was
an evidence again of this fact, the
closing prices Of yesterday showing
advances for the week of 1-2 cents
on II, 5 cents on G.. + and z, 10 on ID
and % on CHA. While the gains were
not greater. they were accompanied by
a demand that cleaned up the offer
ings every day. and represented the
desires of several buyers to get sup
plies. The market for all of these
grades was accordingly in a healthful
state.
Pales, OF course, should show some
strength at this time when there is
not much more of the crop to market.
Every year there is always some of
the top grades held back in the woods,
but not any great quantity, and so it
is likely that the receipts will soon
be merely scattering small lots. This
week brought some substantial ad-
vances in the fine resins, waterwhite
closing yesterday showing a gain
over the previous Friday of 25 cents,
windowglass of 80, N and NJ of 20 and
X of 10. There would seem to be
but little likelihood of any weakness

the entire territory into considera-
ton, but consumption has also doubt.
less been well up to the average, the
several periods of lower prices hav-
ing brought in a large demand from
various directions. If all the local
buyers keep the factors supplied with
varied bids for resins as they have
done during this week it stands to
reason that prices must be well main
tanned. AS both domestic and export
demand was represented resins are
shown to be standing on two substan-
tial legs whereas poor turps have but
the domestic limb to brace them up.
If resins keep on as they are doing
producers will come out all right de-
spite the lower values they have re-
ceived for spirits than they expected.
The receipts of resins at Savannah
for the week we're 1926 barrels and
the sales included 1871 barrels of the
three top grades, 2,437 of the medi-
ums, and 1851 of H and below.
