THE MYSTERY
OF THE SWEETHEARTS

CUMBERLAND, Md, Jan. "a
vague unrest settled down over the
little Elosor home as another day
passed without additional light on one
of the greatest unsolved crime mys-
teries of decade, the murder of
Charles e. Twigg and Grace Elosor,
on their wedding eve. For the whis
pered word went forth that May
Elosor, the sister of the dead girl, is
to undergo another grilling by States
Attorney Robb.
Not word came today from the
little group of Elosors. The stricken
mother Of the lead girl, prostrated
for a week, grew worse tonight. She
heard with great sorrow that Robb
is planning to attack once more the
story told by the family.
The father of the house is stunned
by the tragedy The two daughters,
May Elosor and Mrs. Carrie zea,
alone preserved the air of calm grief
| that has marked their conduct for
the past week.
The authorities tonight were no
nearer solving the mystery than they
were when first summoned to find
the two dead sweethearts last Satur
day. The absence of any probable
fact has made the case the most
battling of recent years. The author

that the sweethearts We're murdered

other is that some one entered tn
