Both have been held for the Septem

murder of Mrs. Eta b. Taylor of
Freeman on May II, 1911, was the
sensation and mystery of New Eng
land for four days in June of last
year. There was not clue to indi
cate that murder had been commit
ted The woman had simply disap-
peared. With her went all of her
clothing. The only cause that those
familiar with the circumstances had
for suspecting foul play was that they
knew that Taylor and his wife had
quarreled violently; that none of her
relatives had received word from her;
that Taylor Immediately after her go
ing had secured the servi ces of Guida
Searles as housekeeper and that Tay-
lor had told some extremely peculiar
stories about his wifes going away.

THE LATEST NOVELTY
 AT BALTIMORE CLUB

The latest novelty in Baltimore is the open air swimming pool at the, Balti- more Country club. Many of the swim ming parties have been followed by jolly luncheons. This has proven decided attraction, and it is great fun after a hard match at tennis or a round of golf. Unfortunately the sudden drop in tenn perature has frightened most of the par ticipants in this new pastime. The many silver loving cups on exhibit in the living room of the clubhouse, where they were seen during a recent visit by Birming- ham matron, are the envy of all the tennis and golf enthusiasts this week, and large crowds watched the tennis tournament which began october and ended on the 17th. The finals in the sin gles was won by Mrs. Saunders Taylor, who also won the challenge round, de- feating Mrs. Hardy of Norfolk. Mrs. Hardy and Miss Davis defeated Mrs. Taylor and Miss White in the doubles. Miss Carrie Chase, Miss Disston and Mrs
 Wainwright of Philadelphia were out of town participants in the tournament.
