The police learned this afternoon

A new theory was advanced by
some Of the detectives working on
the case that Miss Ryall, prompted by
jealousy, may have committed the
murder. The police learned that she
was an exceptionally strong woman,
due to her training and practice as an
animal trainer. She is believed 70

Miss Singer did for Conway, thinking
the Baltimore woman was trying to
win him from her. The detectives say
that she was strong enough to have
struck the heavy blows which killed
Miss Singer and to have bound her

anxious to catch the Ryall woman as
they are to get Conway.
