ONLY CLUE IS BLACK HAIR

Cincinnati, January Especial THE
slayers of Anna Lloyd, aided by circum-

cred all traces of identification. The po-
lice confessed Saturday that their hopes
of fastening guilt within few hours have
gone glimmering. AS stimulus to re-

In raising a reward for the capture of the
assassin.
Chief Miliken and his men will hold a

released. It is believed that within few

Detectives escorted Coroner Coe through
a number of dwelling houses at midnight
Friday. The coroner questioned many
but he ELECTED no reply that would lead
to any course of investigation. 1t has
been just one week since the lifeless body
OF Anna Lloyd was found in the snow

The implement of death has not been

detective forces have failed TO determine
the motive for the crime.

found short, black hair, which she had
probably torn from her assailant during
the assault. Coroner Coe declared that
no microscopic examination of the hair
would prove whether or not the murderer
was black or white.
Mark W. Sweet 81 strader avenue, takes
issue with the coroner in this matter

Sweet is supported in his theory by
other works. 1t may not be that the hair
could be offered In evidence as to the
identity OF the murderer but judging
from the weight of authority 1t might
serve to indicate to the police the color
of the assaiiant.
