BABY CLUE FAILS.
Police Fail to Locate Mother of MUIR
dered Infant

At least one of the clues that the
police secured in their effort to find
the people who were responsible for
the death of the infant child which
was left in the alley behind the pro-
perty at oil Van Buren street, has
been traced out and given up. This
clue was worked out this morning and
the police are convinced that their in
formation was not correct in this in
stance However, there are two other
clues which they think might produce
results.
Detectives Voiles and Golf have been
working on the case and trying to To-
cate the mother of the child ever since
its body was found and have two other
clues that look good. They summoned
and City Physician j. G.. Stewart on
the case this morning. These doctors
also secured the assistance of DR.. J..
H. Rhinehart. The three physicians,
with the officers conducted a complete
investigation and learned that persons
who were suspected We're not guilty.
One OF these persons was a woman
who is sick in a rooming house on
Kansas avenue near Fifth street. She
and some man are thought to have
come here from St. Louis recently and
she has been sick in bed since the
beginning of this week. The physi-
clans examined the woman and an
nounced that she was not the mother
of She child.
This enoed the work on this clue and
now the officers will center their eff
forts on the other cases which they
have learned about. Something new
may result before night but it is not
thought that positive information can
be learned before tomorrow
Drs. HensleyJ. G. Stewart and Rhine
hart are offering the police all the as
sistance possible.
