! Healy."

! police knew about J. II. Taylor.
ITO be perfectly frank with you, he
replied, 1--WE don't know anything about
Taylor Our work has just begun"
/ Opposed TO the police is Coroner Fem
berg, who does not think Dickinson
! sent or gave the bomb to Mrs Walker
| The Coroner builds his theory around
Taylor and gives jealousy as the mo-

/ One of the papers found by the police
| in the apartment was a certified copy OF

we saw Of him.
I'VE are about S25 out on his room"
! Frank r. Dorman, secretary Of the
United States Motor Company for
which Dickinson worked, adds little
to this part of the story.

months ago he brought Mr.. Dickinson
around and recommended him as
roomer
| Mrs. Walker came with Dickinson,
and said she was his sister. They looked
at the parlor. and Dickinson took 1t at
81 a week. Mrs. Walker paid one weeks
rent in advance for him, and he slept in
the room that night. We did not see him
again for nearly six weeks, and so ]
asked Mr.. Vandervant where Dickinson
was 1t wasn't more than an hour later
| that Dickinson called up on the tele-
phone.
He said that he had been to Canada
and would be right around. A little
while afterward he came in with Mrs.
Walker, and she paid the $40 that was
due for the rent. She said the only
trouble with her brother was that He
would go on awful sprees. He quarrelled
with her husband all the time, she said,
and every time they had quarrel Dick
inson got drunk. They had Just had a
quarrel and Dickinson had got drunk
and gone to Canada.
