street municipal court Friends and
business associates, It is said, of the
elder Mann stand ready 10 furnish bail
IN any amount.
The police declare that they have
secured a net Of circumstantial evil
dence that will prove young Mann was
the person who bound the woman hand
and foot and then strangled her to
death-that he is the mysterious Ray
mond for whom detectives have been
hunting for months
Women. about several Of whom there
IS a deep mystery. are TO be the prin-
cipal witnesses against the prisoner
The police say that two wives will
appear against the accused stranger
Mann's parents say that he never has
been married.
Miss Daisy Potts, I71s North Sawyer
avenue, whom Mann says is his fiancee.
declares her belief in the prisoners in
nocence, and says that she will do
everything in her power to save him.

Following the Identification by Mrs
Hamilton. proprietor OF the Michigan
avenue rooming house, Of one Of the
keys carried by the prisoner. as the
one which was missing after Raymond

Mrs Hamilton says she gave the
key to Mann and IL IS said 10 fit the

down and possible confession was
strengthened when the police learned
that Mann was a constant user Of CO.

Without the drug, the police believe
he will break down. Inspector Wheeler
also has learned that several months

young Mann's father today. 1.-The Do

absurd My son has no wife and never
