Mrs. Crummet Says Everything
Was Quiet in House, Refuting
Testimony of Sister of Dead
Girl-Found by News
paper Reporters.

CUMBERLAND. MD, Special.-One
OF the greatest sensations that has yet
developed in the wedding eve poison
tragedy that resulted in the death Of
Charles L. Twigg and Grace Elosser.
came today. In the presence Of DR..
Thomas w. Koon, Commissioner OF
Police, Mrs. Jane Crummet, who lived
in the room directly over that in which
the two bodies were found, declared
that Immediately after the tragedy she
had heard Mrs. Elosser. the mother Of
the dead girl. exclaim: MY God, this
is terrible. Nobody must be told"
Mrs. Crummet also declared that she
had passed by the door Of the room on
her way to get some water. and that
the door was three parts open. Within
she noticed the figure of n man lying
on the right side OF the sofa with his
head leaning 10 the right. She further
declared that at that time everything
was absolutely quiet.
This is fiat contradiction Of the
statement made by the Flossers since
the tragedy and at the inquest
They have always said that there
was the utmost confusion and loud
screaming from the moment of the dis
covery of the bodies. Mrs. Crummet
declared she was certain that she did
not hear May Elosser pass down the
stairs as the girl swore she did. In
view OF the fact that Grace ElOsser' 5
was taking a bath at the time of the
deaths OF her sister and her fiancee
Is only separated from Mrs. Crummet's
apartment by a thin board door,. this
statement was regarded as important.
The most astounding part OF Mrs
Crummets story lies in the fact that
she was never interviewed by the
states attorney or his detectives nor
by any other official OF the city or
county until within the past twenty
four hours when attention was called
10 her by reporters working on the
case.

inTo official Information at the close of the session. It would be worse than useless to wait until after the end of his sixty day butterfly career at the capitol, and then with a recall petition drag him forth from his cave of ohsCUrity. A legislator at home, after the end of his brief day at the capitol, is in the same state as a bee that was gifted with One-time stinger. He is in a condition of in nocuous desuetude. He is hors du oomhdt He is harmless. And, like the bee, the future interests him not.
 No, Senator Hepburn. We cannot agree with you. If we are to have the recall, let us have it so that we can apply it to a member of the legislature before he loses his sixty day stinger.

In Delegate Cameron's telegram of yesterday it is stated that from various sources in Arizona the adop- ton of the Flood resolution has been urged. It is not surprising that such insistence should come from members of the Western Federation, from SO .cialists and from theorists who care more for theories than statehood. We imagine though that there are in cluded among the supporters of the resolution many who profess to desire statehood but who do not really want it on any terms. We believe time will make it clear to their fellow citizens that such persons are at heart opposed to statehood.
