stated that she was never In the place
to his knowledge and certainly moi
last Monday night. The same mau
was taken TO the Auditorium Tues
day night. and the man supposed to
have been with her. was pointed out tc
him. Again he said he had never

Another story that the police inves
tigated thoroughly and found to be
untrue was that that sprung from the
story OF Harry Zoelier OF Connor
street who said that he saw the wo
man and a male companion come ori
Of the saloon at the corner OF Tusca
rawas street and the Pennsylvania
road and walk down the tracks. Zosl
Ter stated that he had seen the two
about block from where the crime
was committed after midnight He
stated that he knew the woman from
infancy as he had lived In Massillon
but he said that he could not be pos
tive that II was the Brown woman as
both the man and the woman conceal
ed their faces when they saw his Ian
tern. He stated that when he reached
Seventh street later on he saw the
couple not 30 feet from the place
where the murder was committed and
heard some noise but could not re-
member what II sounded like. This
was about . o'clock In the morning.
This story was thoroughly investig at
ed by the police but nothing tangible
resulted.
/, The police say that they have many
other theories advanced that they
have not gone into which they win
work ON today. almost everyone we
meet has some sure clue, said the de-
tectiyes last night and we investigate
all of them as best we can.
Il think before many days we will
get some definite bearings on the last
hours Of the dead woman and then

IL was reported that the hammer
used to kill the woman with had a
BROKEN handle caused by the terrific
blow given but II was found that tho
break was not new one and was
probably done before II was used to
kill the woman with. ,s
One OF the most banning eircum-
stances In the case is the entire lack
Of motive discovered. A story told
the police yesterday was that the
woman was obtaining money from
some quite prominent man In the city
and that he had reached the end of
the string and decided to stop tho
proceedings by numbering or having
murdered the woman. Many more
theories have been advanced which
will be Investigated thoroughly.

Hon. John T. Dale Rises
 fo Subn1if Some Observations

When we came down out of the court house (we had conventions then) al the bottom stsp little Dick Hawthorne of Pine Apple said to me. well, John, I guess you will go home now and stay there" went 1 stayej I guess Mr. Bryan will go home now and stay. No he won't No matter which way sne cat. jumped, he was strictly in It. II he had been elected. he would have received ssn, 900 per annum. As 1t Is he has advertised himself. and by so doing he win make at least sl00.000 & year on the lecture platform. My heart aches for the condition of old Mrs. De- nocracy. None so poor as to do her honor. All on account of the squash heads that have led her to destruction.
 The, business men of the country will not vote for Bryan. He knew it as well as any one else. If he had loved the party as he should have done ne would have given way to Johnson of Minneeota. believe as firmly as am sitting In myschaIr' that if Johnson had been nominated he would have been elected. The time was opportune. There was a spirit of unrest all over the Union. The, party in power twas torn by chickering's and dissensions. Vicious legfsiation had closed up the banks. stopped the railroads and shut down the factories, thereby throwing hundreds and thousands of men out of employment. All over this broad land hoboes by the million were walking the highways, railroads and streets of our cities. What more suspicious time for Democracy. Alas for us. we have found out. to our sorrow, that whoop- ing and believing don't bring rcsults-
 Now what? Why four years from nvw Johnson will be nominated and elected. No matter how you may bo- linback Democracy around and about, she VIII live. Hers are the principles upon which this government ought to be run-principles built upon truth as lasting as the hills; as durable as the mountainss and as firmly embedded In the constitution as the rock of Gibral- tar.
 Truth crushed 10 earth will rise again,
 The eternal years of God are hers;
 But error, wounded. writhes in pain.
 And dies among her worshippers.''
