Somerset, Pa. Aug 27.-Mrs. Bon
ME Rosenbloom and her slxteen-year-
old daughter. Eva. who were arrested
in Baltimore for completely In the al
legged murder OF their husband and IA
ther. Solomon Jacob Rosenbloom. OF
Windber. Pa. were admitted to bail
by District Attorney Miller. They
were held as witnesses to appear
whenever the authorities want them.
The murder charge against them VIII
be dropped for the present. The dis
trict attorney thinks this Is the best
course to pursue. for he wants to wait
until Alexander Rosenbloom. who Is
suspected OF numbering his father. is
arrested.
Mother and daughter were taken to
the Arlington hotel and left there In
care OF two policemen until Louis Ro-
senbloom. of Charleroi. a son OF the
accused woman. arrived in Somerset
and furnished bail for his mother and
sister. Mrs. Rosenbloom left here. but
the police knew her destination. al
though they will not reveal II.
The authorities of Somerset ridicule
the rumor that Alexander Rosenbloom
was seen in Johnstown. A railroad
man is alleged to have said that he
recognized Alexander. disguised. When
District Attorney Miller heard of the
report he laughed. and said that Alex
ander was too we'll known throughout
the county to run the risk Of arrest by
returning so near home.
The fact that Mrs. Rosenbloom has
said she believes Alexander Rosen.
bloom. her son. has left the country
leads the authorities to believe that
his arrest never may be made. II Is
almost n year since the young man
disappeared and it is believed that he
has placed as much distance as posi-
Bile between the scene OF the alleged
crime and himselft
II he has left the country. the police
think there is small chance OF captur.
ing Alexander.
Mrs. Rosenbloom and Miss Rosen.
bloom waived a hearing at Windber.
and T. Price Colburn. justice OF the
peace. sent them to Somerset.
At Somerset there was an affecting
meeting between the prisoners and
William Rosenbloom. Of Piedmont. W.

office and closeted with him
