Discarding the numerous theories
which had been advanced to explain
the Mount Tamalpais murder mystery,
Captain M. o. Anderson, chief of de-
tectives, announced last night that he
would direct the efforts of his men to
the tracing of the ownership of the
watch found on the skeleton. He char
acterized the different solutions which
had been advanced as fanciful and
founded on the merest speculation His
announcement was to the effect that
the work which had been done had
brought out no tangible clew and that
a new start would be made this morn
ing.

Manicure's Pupil Traced

The Call yesterday traced the girl
who had studied manicuring at Mrs.
Littlefeld's school and located her at
the Victor apartments in Douglass
street. She had studied at the mani
curing school under the name of Jen-
sen, in order to hide her identity from
her family, who are well TO do people.
The girl studied the trade so that she
might become independent. but was
finally persuaded by her uncle to drop
it. Bielenburg was particularly in
censed. yesterday over the statements
made by Mrs. Littlefield.
With that theory of Identification ex-
