4 door might be closed. None of the
woman's clothing was disturbed. over
her face was white cloth.
That she had not met death without
| desperate struggle was obvious. Both
her eyes were blackened. From a
| wound above her left eyebrow blood
| trickled. And in the soft skin of her
throat were the marks of the murder

Carroll Immediately concluded that
Jones, who had been seen walking with
Mrs. Brandrup early in the day, knew
something of the matter. The half
breed was located and placed under
! arrest. He made no effort to resist, but
when told why he was apprehended
said
i've been drinking all day. You
know that. Why, Bob, I was in Con-
| nolly's saloon with you this morning.
You know / would not do anything like
this"
Carroll was not so sure. So he placed
his man in Jail and later apprehended
Cortland. Then he notified Coroner
James Grove at Redwood City, and
Deputy Coroner Cunningham at Baden
He then returned to Jones' room. The
floor of the apartment was wet-in
some places with water in others with
blood. There was a lump of washing
soda, such as is employed by laun-
dresses. 1t had been Worn smooth on
one end by rubbing, and the smooth
end was red with blood. On the carpet
We're traces of washing soda and water.
Yesterday morning the Sheriff and
the District Attorney were apprised of
the crime. They at once fastened to
Baden, where they summoned Drs. H.
G. and D. B. Plymire to make an au-
topsy The physicians found that the
woman had been strangled, probably
until she was unconscious; that her
lungs We're badly congested and that
she had received terrific beating with
some heavy instrument about the head.
The District Attorney and the Sheriff
made minute inspection of the Linden
Hotel, OF Jones room and of the apart
ment I'm which the body was found.
They learned that from the room occu-
pied by the halfbreed TO the storeroom
was a door, hidden behind the head OF
the bed. They also found distinct
traces of the womans heels on the
painted floor OF the han through which
the body is supposed to have been
dragged.
What conclusions they drew from
these facts and from the facts elected
in interviewing all those connected In |
any way with Mrs. Brandrup or the
prisoners, they did not make public. |
