Hamilton, Ont, Feb. 24.-It will
be three years tomorrow since the
murder of Ethel Kinrade furnished
Hamilton with the greatest sensation
of the kind in it's history and added
to the criminal ANIMALS mystery
that the best detective talent in Am

on the crime. From time to time
there have been rumors of possible
arrests and only a few weeks ago it
