W00DlLL SLAYER STILL
IN DOUBT, SAYS JURY
Verdict Declares Eastman to Be Muir.
derer or Accessory-FaiIs to Fix
Blame for Crime.

st. Michaels, Md, June 30.-The
question whether Robert e. Eastman
really was the ,slayer, of Mrs. Edith
May Woodill is not answered by the
compromise verdict of the coroner's
jury which says he either killed or
was accessory to the murder. The
manner in which the woman met
death probably never will be definite.
ly known
Four OF the IL jurors who listened
to the testimony at the reopened In
quest refused to sign the We dict and
the words cor accessory to the crime
were added to the draft, ap.
proved by the majority, which blunt.
ly accused Eastman of the murder.
None of the four dissenting jurymen
would say that any other person
than Eastman was responsible for the
woman's death.
The final theory of the authorities
is this:
That Eastman was in need of
money; that he probably had been
getting money from Mrs. Woodill for
some time; that he undoubtedly
knew something of her past life and
that. he had been Matchmaking her;
that he attempted to continue this
practice and that the woman rebelied,
intimating that she, too, had found
out certain things about Eastman and
that If driven to 1t would expose him.
Eastman's dread of serving term
In the penitentiary is we'll known.
His wife has said that he told her he
would rather commit suicide than be
confined In prison. The pawning of
Mrs. Woodill's jewelry the author
tiles set down to the desire of East
man to get away. When cornered the
man decided that his race had been
run and that he had better make an
end to 1t, all.

fragette, who tried to penetrate the
police Gordon to take message to
the premier. Next appeared the depu-
tation under command of Mrs. Pank-
hurst, and it was received by the
crowd with wild cheers. Escorted by
the police, the deputation arrived at
the ST. Stephens entrance to parlia-
ment, where 1t. was met by Chief In
spector Scantlebury, who handed Mrs.
Pankhurst letter from the premier,
regretting his inability to receive the
deputation.
Angrily throwing the letter on the
ground, Mrs. Pankhurst exclaimed:

The police tried to induce the won.

the surprise of the spectators, who
were massed around the entrance,
Mrs. Pankhurst slapped Inspector Jar.
Wis in the face, knocking his cap in
the mud. There were cries Of shame %
and several of the spectators told the
suffragette leader that she had no
provocation to do such a thing.

knocked off the inspectors cap a sec
