MIL CRY MURDER MYSTERY.
NO REAL CLUE 70 AssAlLANT or
MISS MATTHEWS.
Finding Of Pair Of Cuff Buttons Only
Lead the Police Have To
Go on.

minneapolis. Marc f.-UeCecIlVe6
attempting to unravel the mysterious
murder Of Miss Alice Matthews are
still at sea.
The st. Paul police reported the ar
rest of a suspect who gave the name
OF Bonnie Brock of Cincinnati. Ohio.
He had freshly made scratches on his
face. He 10 held on q .vagrancy
charge, pending further investigation.
Two men both of whom live not less
than four blocks from the Matthew'S
home we're made to strip that detec-
tives might examine their bodies for
marks. such a. they believe the MUIR
.derer Of Miss Matthews would bear.
No marks confirming the detectives
suspicious conclusively were found on
either Of the men. One Of them who
has been mentioned in the case sev.
eral times has been placed under sur.
veilance.
No stepsstoward his arrest had been
taken at an early hour this morning,
but I thorough investigation Of his
whereabouts In the neighborhood at
the time the girl was choked to death
was made. detectives made the man
strip that they might examine him for
scratches or bruises which they be-
lieve the .assailant Of Miss Matthews
will hear. They found no marks that
confirmed their suspicious, but they
said they had not proved satisfactor.
lily that he . not: in some manner
connected with the girl:s. death.
Albert Savage found two gold CUT
buttons. not mates. in the scattered
dirt on the sidewalk in front OF the
home Of H. q. Thomas. where the body
of Miss Matthews was found early
Sunday morning. They are the only
real clues the police have found that
they believe may leah to the arrest OF
the murderer.
Savage said he believed that had the
girl he said stopped with the man ON
Twentieth avenue cried out before he
got to his home he would have heard
her screams. But he said he heard
nothing. This would indicate. provid-
ed the couple he ~ were Miss Mat
thews and her slayer. that they bad
continued their argument for = con.
siderable time before the mar At
tackled her. This also indicated to
investigators that the man might
have been known to her.
Three street car conductors told diff
ferent stories Of negroes they had
seen on three different car lines en-
tering the district in which the muir
der took place. Each story differs
from the other and the police are
puzzled to know which one to accept.
All stories agree in the description
Of n negro and the fact that his face
and hands bore many scratches.
One street car conductor. on a Sci
by4I,ake car said that the negro on
his car left it at st. Paul. He said
the negro got on the car near Bloom
ington avenue about 1 o'clock. Two
other conductors says a negro answer.

description Mrs. Ethel Manning gave

Detectives decided conclusively that
the murderer was known to Miss. Mat
thews and are working on the theory
that he lives in the neighborhood of
the crime.
