South. At the sidewalk, a little mud
was seen, but not much. The police
have 10 clues. What seems to be the
most reasonable theory is that it was
case of mistaken identity
That theory holds good to certain
point, and then 1t is lost in Devil
dering tangle which revolves back to
the starting point. The theory of
mistaken identity is quite plausible
until the fact is-disclosed that none
of the women in the fla have 1t
known enemy so desperate Ii is
possible that the man was confront-
ed with so many doors and win dow S
bin the srear of the flat that ohe was ar
a loss as to which window led to his
intended victim. Rut at this poinJ.
things turn back to the starting point
again: Wouldn't he have RECOGNIZED
woman whom he intended to nlur-
der The gas was lighted-in fact
it WAS the only lighted room in the
whole rear of the flat at that hour,
Then the theory iof an gattenpted
robbery was disposed of almost im-
nnediately, the man was in no danger
a any time, and he could have easily
escaped He had all the advantage,
for he was in the darkness, While
the woman was il lighted room
And all the while he was trying to
pull the trigger, his. intended victim
was watching With curiosity What she
considered a pigeon.
Was. Man DemeIted!
The last and remaining theory is
that the man was. demented. He said
not "a word to Mrs. Peterson. The
slow delibefation with which h. lift

point out; signifies 4 man of a de-

is either, enc of two things; i is
