requests, to disclose her identity. Like
many other messages received by the;
sheriff since the search was begun, the
communication suggested a new inves-
LEGATION into a channel not yet explored,
but which has been the subject of a
great deal of thought on the part of
the sheriff and those who are assisting
him.
Woman Promises Revelations
The mysterious woman gave the
name of a man on whom her suspicious
rested as the possible murderer, and al
though his connection with the crime
has been eliminated several times as
the result of inquiries showing the cir
cumstances were in his favor it is prob
able this phase of the investigation viii
again be taken up.
II have discovered new facts that
lead me to believe this man knows
more than he has revealed the woman
told the sheriff, refusing, however, to
give her name or address, but stating
that she would call at the county build
ing to confer with Mr.. Hammel later.
The reason given by the woman for
refusing to give any information about
herself was that she had been instruct
ed by her husband to keep out of the
case on account of the notoriety that
might follow, and she agreed to the ap-
receiving a promise that her name
would not be made public.
1--WE have received many messages of
this kind since the search was begun"
said the sheriff. when run down,
these cleWs have resulted in naught,
and we have discovered they were gen.
Grated for the most part, by suspicion
and not on account of any actual facts
the senders had in their possession. But
nothing in any degree tangible will be
thrown aside, and if this unidentified
woman has anything on which we can
work and will tell us what it is you
may depend on 1t that we VIII DO our
best"
Another CleW Fails
A number of clews were bundled to-
gether early yesterday and placed in
the hands of three deputies, while other
officers were sent to the country sur
rour ding the scene of the murder. Two
of the first mentioned band followed a
trail of rumors leading into smaller
surrounding towns, while the third,
Deputy Sheriff Wright, went to Long
Beach, where it was hoped he would be
able to connect a small shred of blood
stained bingham similar to the piece
taken from the apron of the dead child
with the murderer
The report of this find was received
by Sheriff Hammel at a late hour Sat
urday night, and it was O'Clock yes
terday before word was received from
Deputy Wright that a comparison OF
the bit of cloth showed a pronounced
dissimilarity between it and the child's
garment
Then followed the reports of other
officers, all of which contained news Of
failure.

tariff of one and one half cents

be set right on the proposition
would mean a tariff Of only 81. 20
