woman nad made, when she turned to Raynor in the midst of one of his statements and exclaimed, You're a liar!' let when they separated again she asked Raynor to kiss her. He did. When she had gone he sheep ishly explained that he didn't want to kiss her but had to do it to keep Ter good natured.
 Yesterday the woman said Raynor and Mullen became involved in an argument ever union labor, and this led to the fatal fight. Raynor says ne entered the Union Square rooms about o'clock, and the woman came from her bedroom with a drink of Whiskey for him.
 ''I've got in there," she said, according to his statement, "and I'm going to get his roll. He was a tough one. l strangled him and punched him, and I've got him all in." Then, he says, the woman took off the mans clothes in search of his mG 1ey and finally found it in his sock. Then she carried him out in a supplied condition.
 But her subsequent confession this morning made to both Prosecutor De- Laney and Captain Arnold is to the effect that Raynor dealt Mullen @ terrific blow back of the left ear when the man had collapsed. Then the two carried him down stairs. She said he walked down oane flight and they carried him the rest of the way, until Raynor dropped his shoulders and she dragged him by the feet to the doorway where they left him.
 This may be an explanation for the scratches found on Mullen's body when the police and doctors examined it. Long bruises were found as if the man had been dragged over the ground.
 That the two did not part com pany from the tin3e of the murder until the woman'S arrest is now ap- parent They went together to South Norwalk Thursday morning. Near the railroad station in that city they were seen by Clarence A. Stearns, an insurance agent of Tranistan avenue, that Raynor shouldn't leave her. Their actions attracted considerable attention. Stearns has identified both prisoners.
 They were so confused, probably intoxicated, that they boarded the wrong train and were carried back to East Norwalk instead up the Dan bury division as they expected Then they walked back to South Norwalk, went to Danbury and remained there until the woman was arrested Mon day. Raynor was seen drunk about Dan bury for several days.
 When Detective CrOnan and a Dan bury policeman visited the house of the parents of the Sprague woman yesterday morning in search of a clue to Raynor, a young man, doubtless the woman's son, entered just after the parents declared Raynor had left the house Monday night and had not returned.
 'He left here at 6:30 this morn ing" retorted the youth, whose sym psthies were not at all with Raynor. ''I just saw him in the freight yards waiting. to jump on train, at II o'clock
 Cronan and his companion hurried to the freight yards and while they were seeking the man, he was found drunk on the street.
 Raynor and the woman were 'mugged' for the Rogues' gallery at Seeleys studio at 1O:3O this morning. They sat for the photographs with out protest.
 The police records show that the Sprague woman is 3S years old, a laundress, born in Mt. Carmel, N. Y., 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 130 pounds, of medium stature, with brown hair, brown eyes, regular fea- lures, a scar across the right eye brow and the bridge of the nose, also on the fourth finger. Her face is of strong, masculine type, with straight mouth, a large and somewhat pro- truding lower lip, and 8 complexion that gives tell-tale evidences of her life of dissipation.
 For the last decade she has been familiar figure about the lower re- sorts of Danbury. Although in Bridgeport for only a few months, she had already become a familiar figure in the resorts visited by women of her absolute habits.
 Raynor is a native of Canada, hence his soubriquet of "Frenchy." He is only 26 years old, and he is even smaller in stature than the woman. He is but feet and three fourths inches tall, weighs 1855 pounds, has black hair, hazel eyes, and sharp nose. In his youth he fell into a moving machine. This accident left kinf with his left thumb stiff, badly scared at the base. His right leg was scared in the same accident. He says he is a painter.
 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney hap pened into the detective bureau when the police were securing Raynor's measurements. He had just heard of how the woman and Raynor are sup Iosed to have carried the victim, who weighed about ITO, down the three flights of stairs. The puny appearance of the prisoner impressed him, and he grasped him by the arms, and found him equipped with a fine set of bi- ceps. 'You never got those muscles painting," said Delaney. Then the prisoner said he had done a good deal of freight hauling.
 Today when the police made another visit to the scene of the tragedy they found pair of arctics worn by Null len placed in a closet where the wom- an said they would find them. They also found a bale hook, used by Ray nor when he worked on the docks. The woman says Raynor threatened her with this instrument the night be- fore the murder. Other residents of the block say they heard cries there on Tuesday night. The doors of the room where the murder was commit ted show fresh imprints as if the bale hook were thrown across the room. The woman claims Raynor was re- spor sible for these marks.
 The amount of money Mullen had is still in dispute. The man says she told him she got $50. He believes she got about S15. She won't say how much she got. At first she denied hav- ing gotten any.
 The capture of both Raynor and the woman through the prompt action of the detective bureau, once the evil dence of the crime came to them, has averted much criticism at first direct ed towards the police department. It was claimed that the department had shown negligence in failing to unearth the bloody room until five days after the tragedy it was found by the jam itor of the building.
 On the night of the crime the build ing was overrun by police, other off cials and self-constituted investiga- tore who st11nohIad one over the other
