filed past it not one could give single
clew to its identity.
Public interest waned and dwindled
and passed on to other things. Even
with me, living at the very scene OF
the crime, it faded in an astonishing
way; it no longer occupied my
thoughts. Over my evening pipe it was
not the details Of the mystery I con-
jured up, but vision Of dark face.
An inquiry of the janitor developed
the fact that it was my neighbors, Mr..
and Mrs. Tremaine, whom I had met
that evening as I left the elevator.
They had the apartment Just across the
hall from mine, and I had thought, Of
course, that I must meet them fire.
quently, but three days had passed and
I had caught not glimpse Of them;
their hours for coming and going
seemed radically different from mine.
l heard the sudden opening of door;
a scream, shrill, full Of terror.
Rarely have l been so startled as I
was by that voice. In an instant I was
in the hall. A red light streamed
through the open door OF the apartment

staring, with clasped hands.

burning curtains and threw them into

The room was full Of smoke, but It

parently Too Much Married.
Lynchburg. Va, Jan. III. r. Steele,
who it is alleged, wrecked the Fourth
Street National bank of Philadelphia
Saturday, by throwing bomb. and
who lost his life at the time, worked
here as concrete construction fore
man for several months, and a woman
who said that she was Steele's wife.
and her 10-year-old son, were seen at
their home today. Steele left here
Thursday morning early, telling his
wife that he was going to Danville,
Va, to secure work on railway con-
struction, promising that she should
hear from him by Saturday night.
She did not know that his name
was connected with the wrecking of the
bank until today. There is no doubt in
the minds of friends of Steele, from
descriptions in pres sdispatches from
Philadelphia that the bomb thrower
is from this city. Those who knew
him we'll say for some time he has been
experimenting with explosives and
electric batteries. His talk frequently
indicated thought of violence. His wife
frequently discussed with friends what
would become of her if she was sud-
denly left alone with no friends near
er than her home at Grand Rapids.
Mich.
When told of the statements attribu-.
ted to Mrs. Irene Steele in Chicago,
Mrs. Steele said Steele was divorced
from the Chicago wife before his Sec,
ond marriage. Steele had had a sick
ness in his family and had been In
debt and his friends say Steele proba-
bly, was driven to desperation by re-
verses.
