MYSTERY IN THE
K|NRADE CASE
SCORES OF LETTERS RECEIVED
BY POLlCE-INQ JEST INTO
MURDER OF ETHEL klNRApE
TO BE RESUMED TONIGHT.

HAMILTON, Ont. March 19.--Ths
inquest into the murder OF Ethel KIM
rade. In her home, on Herkmer-st..
recently. will be resumed tonight.
Florence Kinrade. sister of the dead
girl, and her mother, are expected TO
be the principal witnesses. George 8.
Lynch stanton, K c.. counsel for the
Kinrade family, says he has two new
witnesses who saw a man leaving the
Kinrade home on the afternoon of the
murder Beyond this statement Mr..
Stanton refused to talk. The police
do not take this phase OF the case SER
iously. They think 1t strange that any
person or persons, who claims to have
seen a man leave the scene of the MUIR
der should remain secretive for SO
long
The exact procedure of the crown,
in view of the failure to find a revol-
yer In the sewer at the Kinrade home
is not known. There are scores OF
theories advanced by persons in let
ters and in person. A letter reached
the police today bearing Montreal
postmark. 1t reads
Dear Sir-You needn't bother look
ing any more for the slayer of Ethel
Kinrade. l done 1t and you can't
catch me. | fired eight shots at her
and got away"
The police do not take this letter
seriously. Nor do they give serious
consideration 10 q large number or
other letters that are received. They
believe that certain persons after read
ing the stories or the crime and the
subsequent developments have been
afflicted with distorted imaginations.
A dispatch received from Ports
mouth. Va, says that the Col. Warbur-
ton referred TO by Florence Kinrade
in her evidence is unknown In Nor
folk. Prominent military men say
there Is no man by that name in that
part OF the country.
James Baum now admits that he
knew that Miss Kinrade was down at
Savannah and states that he remem-
bers asking her IL she didn't think
that a beautiful country.
IL am anxious TO learn what they
are going to do on Friday night" he
said.

Verses 1-2.-What prompted Ananias

In what class do you put the sin of

Why did they pretend that they had
given all the proceeds of their property
to the apostles?
Why is it that pride is such terrible
sin?
Verses 3-4.-Why was the. lie of An

From Peters remarks do you CON
elude that the selling of their property
and the disposition of the proceeds,
was wholly voluntary matter?
Verses 5-6.-Was the death of Ana
Mas, judged by the standards of that
day, "a just penalty for the sin?
What good did the punishment of
Ananias and Sapphira produce then

Verses 7-1l.-Is there any reason to

What is the difference between the
