TRAIL OF HOMICIDE IN
Los ANGELES LEADS HERE
Mrs. Towards Slayer May Have
Been Former Detroiter, Killed
in Chicago, Saturday

Chicago police believe they have
solved the mystery OF the supposed
Staying OF a woman known as Mrs.
Bessie Howard. In Los Angeles bun
galow. and their theory is that Caiphas
Columbus Dillon, former Detroit
electrician, killed the woman, as a re-
suit of an Illicit love AFFAIR which had
Its inception In the billions former
home at No. 29S Champlain-st., this
city.
billions body was found under an
elevated train In Chicago, Saturday
and circumstances pointed to his iden'
tifcation as the slayer OF the Los An
geles woman.
Mrs. Charles Covington, now living
at No. 10 Aurelia-st., and formerly re-
siding with her daughter, Mrs. Dillon,
In the Champlain-st address, took a
Mrs. Bessie Howard, who was some
times known as Miss Bessie Vogler, TO
the Dillon home. where the Howard
woman was accepted as roomer,
about two years ago. Mrs. Covington
was from Virginia, and her new-found
acquaintance said that she was from
Norfolk, Va, which caused the sud
den friendship. Both were employed
In Heyn's bazaar
billions marked attentions to Mrs.
Howard caused scandal In the neigh
borhood, and resulted in his departure
to Chicago, early in 1910. A few days
later, Mrs. Howard left the house, stat
ing that she was going TO her home In
Norfolk, but the Dillon family heard
that she was living with Dillon In Chi
cago She returned seven weeks later,
and resumed her place In the Dillon
home, but left again after three weeks.
That was the last the family ever
saw OF her. Mrs. Dillon and her four
children joined Dillon in Chicago in
June, 1911, and thought that his infat-
uation for the Howard woman was &
thing OF the past. He is said TO have
disappeared shortly before the Los An
geles crime was committed, and the
discovery of his body was the next
step in the case.
Now the Chicago police are puzzled
by advices from Norfolk that Bessie
Howard, of Norfolk, is still alive.
