able to make his escape without leav-
ing a clue as to his identity, or whether
he simply killed the woman, reckless
of consequences, is uncertain. But 1t
is certain that if Judge Lindsay and his
family had not heard the cries for help
uttered by the woman before she
breathed her last, the murderer would
have had an excellent chance of escape.
Judge Lirasay's Story.
~ was sitting in the house, said
Judge Lindsay, "playing eribbage
with my wife, when we both heard a
cry, Mrs. Lindsay! Mrs. Lindsay! Mrs.
Lindsay!'
81 didn t imagine what was happen
ing, but l jumped up and rushed out
doors toward the servants quarters,
the direction from which the cry
seemed to come. On the way out /
picked up board that lay on the
ground, not knowing what / might en-,
counter.
81 tried to open the door of the
servant quarters, where I knew the
girl was, and the door opened about
half way. Then l felt it come in con-
tact with a human body, or what felt
like human body, and it was slammed
back in my face and / heard the latch
sprung.
"Still | didn t realize what was hap
pening. and I called out for the one
inside to open the door. There was no
answer. but I heard someone move, and
then the window on the opposite side
of the room was slammed down. / ran
around to that side, but could not see
anyone. / went back to the door and
called out. open the door or 1 II

was in there was trying to saw through
the thin partition.

Object to Further Investigation.


The speaker offered resolutions, which
were adopted, setting forth that "as it is
currently reported in the press that the
chairman of the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia of the Senate Is on
record as demanding further investigation
before the Senate takes up the S5-cent gas
bill as passed by the House. and that as
the question was fully Investigated last
year by the best experts in the country,
who found that gas could. be manufactur-
ed and distributed for less than 50 cents,
with reasonable profits to the company,
and that it appears from official analyses
of the gas. recently made by the bureau
of chemistry. that approximately 30 per
cent consists of carbon monoxide, one OF
the most poisonous of gaseous substances.
and because of the service rendered by
the gas company that no further investi-
cations be made at this time"
The resolution concludes by stating that
1.-The evident purpose of any further In
vestigation of these questions is an at
tempt on the part of the gas company to
defeat the wishes of the people. that this
is no time for any further investigation
or dilatory tactics of any sort" The
