LIZZIE RUMsAY FREED, TOO.

Failing utterly in their efforts to
hasten the murder OF Mrs. Cornelia
WEIGH upon him, the police were
obliged TO liberate Dan Scott, the aged
woman,s- Fepgted lover, Monday after
poon. With him went Lizzie Rum

had been detained as witnesses. And
there was still another prisoner
turned loose. SCOTS big bull dog,
Buster" the self-same animal the

of Mrs. Welchs body.
Buster" was a present to Mrs.
WEIGH from Scott, and now that its
mistress is dead the police thought
it no more than proper TO turn the
animal back TO the former owner, and
Scott was anxious TO have him. The
dog seemed even more pleased than
bis master to secure his freedom. IL
shifted about Scott in friendly fashion
and followed him about the building
wherever he went.
There was some delay in releasing

last moment that his hat was miss

been sent TO County Chemist Clark for
analysis OF what were thought to be
blood stains. but which the microscope
revealed as common red paint.

Discussing SCOTS release, Capt,
Mcdonnell said:
There was nothing else We could
do. We had absolutely no proof against
the man. At first suspicion was very
strong against him. and one OF the
strongest points against him was that
he drove up to Mrs. Welch's place on
the afternoon OF the murder, just after
the body was found. and when he saw
the crowd. drove hastily away with
out stopping. Scot explains that by
saying that he thought the police
were making another pinch in the
place and didn't want to get mixet up
in it, We have nothing 10 show that
his explanation is not the proper one.
The release OF Scott does not
mean that we have given up the hunt
for the murderer. We never stop
working on case OF this kind"

In ito regular meeting Monday

tee to the board of education with
a request that the hour OF opening
school in the primary grades be
changed from a. m. TO 8 a. m,
so that the smaller pupils may sleep
longer in the morning. The sug-
gestion was unanimously supported.
The immigration officials have discon-
tInued the practice of sending at
tefdants with insane or sick who
are being deported, now that the
steamship companies have taken up
the question of caring for these un-
fortunates. There had grown up
quite a practice of naming persons
who had leisure for a foreign trip
as attendants. thus giving them the
trip practically for nothing.

about with his eyes open has sug-
gestion that might be called every

He says il Is a Detroit habit to
mobilize at corners I'm the middle of

block or more away. He believes
there would be less likelihood of ac-
cidents II passengers would stick to
