lNvEN T0R'S WIFE TO
BECOME MANUFACTURER

NEWARK, N. j.. Jan. 10
The manufacture OF electrical con-
densers may be considered bust
ness scarcely In accordance with
feminine tastes or genius. Just
the same it's the striking new
business venture of Mrs. Nora
Blatch De Forest, who has opened
a shop in Newark.
Mrs. De Forest is only 23 years
old, and less than year has
elapsed since her marriage to DR..
Lee De Forest, the inventor. She
is civil engineer and graduate of
Cornell university.
"Civil engineering" she de-
clares, "is the very life for a
woman.
"There is practically no COM
petition as yet, and there aren't
enough men to fill the vacant po-
sitions.'
Soon after graduating from
Cornell Mrs. De Forest worked
as a structural steel draughtsman
with the American Bridge Co.
Later she was employed as
hydraulic engineer by the New
York board of water supply.

destruction. Murder, then, has
been committed by some third
party: and the voices of this third
party were those heard in contep-
ton. Now what was the one pc
culiar thing testified by all re-
speeding these voices? Did you
observe it?"
remarked that, while all the
witnesses agreed that the gruff
voice was that of a Frenchman,
there was much disagreement In
regard to the shrill, or harsh
voice.
"That was the evidence itself"
said Dupin. but 1t was not the pc
culiarity of the evidence. You
have observed nothing distinctive.
Yet there was something to be OBJ
served. The witnesses, as you re-
mark, agreed about the gruff
voice. But in regard to the shrill
voice, the popularity is-not that
they disagreed-but that, while
an Italian, an Englishman. a
Spaniard, q German and a
Frenchman attempted to describe
it, each one spoke of it as that OF
a foreigner. The Frenchman sup
poses 1t the voice of Spaniard.
The German maintains 1t to have
ben that of Frenchman. The
Englishman thinks 1t the voice of
a German. The Spaniard Is sure
it was that of an Englishman. The
Italian believes 1t the voice of a
Russian. A second Frenchman,
differing with the flrst, is posi-
tive that It was an Italian-and
none of these men speaks or un-
derstands a word of the language
which he thinks the unknown
voice used. Each is convinced by
the intonation.' Now, how
strangely unusual must that voice
have really been, about which
such testimony as this could have
been elicited!-in whose tones,
even denizens of the five great d.
visions of Europe could recognize
nothing familiar!
81 know not" continued Dupin,
"what impression may have
made upon your own understand
ing, but I do not hesitate to say
that deductions even from the tes-
timony respecting the gruff and
shrill voices are sufficient to en-
gender a suspicion which should
give direction to all further prog
ress in the investigation of the
mystery. What the suspicion is,
however, I will not say just yet.

that it was sufficiently forcible to

Il believe that Nine. and Mile.
L'Espanaye were destroyed by
spirits. How, then, did the assas-
sin escape? Let us examine the
possible means of egress. 1t is
clear that the assassins were in
the room where the girl was
found, or at least in the room ad-
joining, when the party assembled
the stairs. It is then only from
these two apartments that we
have to seek the exit. The police
have laid bare the floors, the cell
ings, and the masonry of the
walls. But I, too, examined.
There were no secret exits. Both
doors leading from the rooms into
the passage were securely locked,
with the keys inside. Let us turn
to the chimneys. These, although
of ordinary width for some eight
or ten feet above the hearths, will
not admit, throughout their ex-
tent, the body even of large cat.
The impossibility of such egress
being thus absolute, we are re-
duced to the windows. Through
those of the front room no one
could have escaped without notice
from the crowd in the street. The

MAY BE JUDGE AT R ETRIAL OF OIL CASE

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-If he con-
sents to sit, United States Judge
Albert B. Anderson will rehear the
case against the Standard Oil Co.,
In which Judge Landis fined the
big trust $2s,240.000.
Anderson has been a Judge only
Eve years, but in that time has
made q reputation for fearless
ness. He was an Indiana lawyer,
tall, of angular frame and of
Swedish descent.
Judge Anderson presided in the
famous trial of John r. Walsh,
Chicago's multimillionaire bank
wreckef. United States senator's,
congressman, and whole shoals OF
minor Legislators, jud ges and mil
lionaire businessmen exerted their
utmost to save the aged banker

influences Walsh was convicted
and sentenced to the penitantiary.

sual horror of the thing. 1t ap-
pears to me that this mystery is
considered insoluble for the very
reason which should cause 1t to
be regarded as easy of solution

of its features. The police are
COMPOUNDED by the seeming alb
sence of motive-not for the MUIR
der itself. but for the atrocity of
the murder. They are puzzled,
too, by the seeming impossibility
of reconciling the voices heard In
contention with the facts that no
assassin was discovered upstairs
though there were no means of
escape. The wild disorder of the
room; the girls corpse thrust,
with the head downward, up the
chimney; the frightful mutilation
of the body of the old lady; these
have sufficed to
paralyze the police. They have
fallen into the gross but common
error of confounding the unusu-
al with the difficult. In investi-
cations such as we are now pursu-
ing it should not be so much ask
