 A wierd touch was added to tho story of the boys by woman living op- posite Nemmer's home. She declared that on Sunday night she was at tracted by the bowling of a dos whose nose was pressed against the crack under the outer door of Nenrner's attic room The dog acted as if he had struck scent and was distressed because he could not follow it, the woman declared, She said presently a foot appeared from the doorway and the dog was kicked down the stair way.
 The two boys ana young shasham had been at the union depot that Sum day morning when Nemmer appeared and Shashem shined the formers shoes.

It ts reached by an outside stairway. It was here that the police discovered two saws and a iong knifa on the bed with what seemed to be blood stains.
 Nemnler. who spent most of today undergoing the third degree" at the police station. explained the stain on the bed by. a cut finger and said that similar marks on the. sawa were due to the fact that he sawed soupbones with them. it being his custom to cook his own meals.
