HOW M|CKLE DIED
Amateur Detectives Present
Theories as to Crime.
POLICE ON WRONG TRAIL
Keen Mind Needed to Solve q Puzzle
Of This Kind.
ONE SAYS SLAYER LAUGHS
Detectives Should Look for Some Not
Now Under Suspicion, Says
One Amateur.
NE SAYS SLAYER LAUGHS

In response to The Stars invitation TO
the amateur detectives of the city to sub
NIT for publication their theories for
solving the Mickle murder mystery, a
large number Of communications have
been received. Some of the theories adj
vanced have already been exploded by
the police. while others. perhaps, may
we'll be worth the attention of Maj Syl-
vester and his officers.
One deductionist. whose modesty impels
him to sign himself 'Dr. Watson" rather
than Sherlock Holmes offers the fol-
lowing theory:
1.-The police have failed in their attempt
to find the murderer OF William II. Mickle
because they have pursued the wrong tao
tics. They have taken up the wrong
scent and believe that their efforts to
prove that James Smith knows something
about the matters savors more OF the
sweatbox than Of actual detective work.
1T takes keen mind to ferret out a
murder Of the sort which has shocked
on the Metropolitan police force, / do
not think these minds have been directed
in the right manner. II is true almost
In every event that some trace Is left to
show the actual occurrences, even long
after the matter has been forgotten The
Sherlock Not on Job.
1T is possible that the little tobacco
shop could have told Sherlock Holmes a
very. plain story Of what went on before
William MickIe was stricken to the floor.
The policeman laughs at the mention OF
Sherlock Holmes, and use his name
merely to illustrate the fact that keen
minded amateur might have discovered
some trace Of the murderer before the
general public rushed In to the scene and
obliterated many a valuable trace. some
what In the manner that a herd Of buf-
faloes might muddy up a spring.
My theory is that man who has
not yet been mentioned or suspected
killed William Mickle. The fact that
wrench has been identified, perhaps.
Is a strange coincidence and will be
spoken of later. Other facts which the
police believe tend to prove that Smith
Is connected with the affair are CO.

Robbery Plausible Motive.

Suppose 1t was for money, and that
seems to be a fairly good motive in
this case. because the murdered mans
pockets were rihed. or partially 30. I
have heard that Mickle was not killed
for his money, because a large amount
