Specia! Dispatch TO The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, August 3.-Addi-
tional evidence that Earl West of Washing
ton, d. c., was not at Sidney, Ohio. on the
day Butcher Legg was nlurdered, for which
he is awaiting electrocution, has been
found. Harvey Sutton of Hamilton last
night declared that West stopped at his
house In Hamilton on the day of the muir
der. Sutton was a witness at the murder
trial in Sidney, but he was then unable to
positively recall the date of Vests visit to
his house, although West, part of his
defense. claimed that it was the day OF the
murder, April 20.
IF | was to die in the electric chair to-
morrow my last words would be that /

last night. Sutton said this morning that
when the judge asked West if he had any
thing to say before sentence was passed Nhe
replied: Judge ! am entirely innocent of
this crime. Some day you Will find l was
innocent.
The character of the people in Hamilton
who have furnished the Information tina t
may save Earl from the electric chair is
above reproach. They are actuated by the
purest motives, their purpose being to save
a man from paying the death penalty when
they conscientiously believe him innocent.

into custody today. The police found that
they used the cellar where the body was
found for the storage of waste cases and
pushcarts, and that 1t is the habit of the
brothers TO make frequent visits to the cell
lar during the day. Their fruit stand Is
open for business the better part of twenty
four hours and the police hope that the
Espositos may develop some clue through
which the identity of the childs murderer
may be revealed. Coroner Hamburger eX-
amned the Esposito brothers today.
The police are working on the theory
that the child must have known the muir
derer, otherwise 1t would have been diff
cult to have lured her into ,he cellar. The
theory Is also held that the slayer knew
about the cellar, and knew all the habits
OF the people in the neighborhood. In the
streets of the East Side the appearance OF
a stranger is quickly noted by the residents
who know all their neighbors and their
