Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 2S.-The woman round unconscious a week ago on the steps of the Bethel Rescue home, and who died Monday morning was yesterday identified as Clara F. Dunham, of Monticello, Ark. The Identification was made by some who viewed the body at the morgue, and is emphasized by the initials e. E. D." which had been tatooed on her arm.
 According to the latest information as to the identity of the woman she was orphaned in babyhood in Drew county and taken by family td raise. She was given an education, but later drifted from her home, and had in more recent years spent her time in resorts about the cities of this state and Oklahoma
 Jack Riddle, alleged to have been a former husband of the unfortunate woman, is under arrest in connection with the death of the woman. Bruis- ed spots on the woman s body indi- cated that she had been beaten up before she wandered or was dropped unconscious at the steps of the Beth el Home.
 The police have nothing definite against Riddle, but they are conduct ing careful investigation of the whole affair It is charged that Bid- dle is in the habit of marrying wo men promiscuously. The theory the police are working on is that Riddle met this former wife (the dead wo- man) here on the street, and that as he had since married a girl here, he wanted to get the Durham girl out of the way, or prevent her from Interfering with his plans, and that either fight or an attack followed. The remains of the dead woman were buried here yesterday morning, the funeral being attended by few friendly sympathizers with the unfor- tunate woman.
 An examination of the effects of the deceased contained in a small telescope, brought forth a letter in which it was stated her parents name is Maxwell, and their home is Mon ticello, Drew county, Arkansas. These people have been notified of the girls death, but nothing has been heard from them as yet. Former residents of Monticello now in the city, say they know of Maxwell there, that he is an aged man and owns proper ty, the rent from which supports him He had one daughter. but whether this is the same family or not is not now known.
 The initials on the girls arm e. E. D.. and another name, that oi Clara Winget, which the police be- lieve is one of the deeeased's names do not tally in the least with the name of Maxwell. It is barely possi- ble, however, that the girl had gone under many names during her life oi QlSSlpatlOn ana deBauehery.
 The remains will likely be inferred her eby women of her social strata probably this afternoon or tomorrow
 It has been learned that Maxwell had an adopted daughter, and tha, her name was Clara. It is said she ran off from home when quite young married and then led a life of shame afterwards. While at Maxwell s home. 1t is said she was given eve y comfort and reasonable education but fell by the wayside. Maxwell is now dead, it is said, but Mrs. Max we'll is still living at Monticello.
