Police Are Looking for Another
Party in Connection With
Dietz Murder.
WIDOW RELEASED ON BOND
Appointed Administrative Of Her
husbands Estate Which is
Quite Large.

Chicago, Apri! 1S.-ISearch for
another man suspected of completely
in the murder on Monday morning
OF Wm Dietz, the wealthy German
tailor, whose skull was crushed by
"a hammer, was instituted tonight
by the police department and the
coroner's office. The entity of
the man and his exact connection
with the case was not divulged.
Manufacturers of hammers noti-
fled the authorities today that only
TWENTY-FIVE dealers in hardware in
Chicago sell that particular type OF
implement, of which there are only
few in use.
I The police expect soon to trace It
to the dealer who sold it to the
murderer.
Mrs. Dietz, who today was re-
leased; with George Nurnberg. her
alleged lover. on bonds of $4,000,
appeared In the probate court and
was appointed enthusiastically Of her
husbands estate, which consists OF
si5,ose In property and sl0,ooe In
life insurance.
Whether or not the Dietz mystery
will resolve itself into a love tangle,
with the widow of the slain man as
one of the principles in this triangle,
Is question on which the police are
maintaining silence after their
statements of Wednesday.
1t is known that Mrs. Detz and
Nurnberg have been friends for ten
years. .isa
There are many. many elements Of
mystery still attached to this most
mysterious of murder mysteries.
Some of them are:
Why did Mrs. Dietz suddenly send
for First Deputy Superintendent of
Police scf1uettler and tell him she
wished to change some of the state-
ments she, had previously made in
connection with the case? s
Who hired the detectives that for
months kept close watch of the
movements Of Mrs. Dietz and Nurn-
berg?
Was Dietz told shortly before he
Twas killed that detectives had been
TRAILING his wife and Nurnberg?
How did the slayer Of iBietz enter
the Dietz home? There are no evil
ldences that an entrance was forced.
Is the fact that Mrs Dietz's bed
|showed evidences of not having
been occupied on the night of the
murder significant?
These are just a few of the ele,
ments of mystery. There are 9TH
ers.
Coroner Holman made the fiat
statement that the slayer would be
arrested within twenty-four hours
and declared that the identity of the
guilty person was known. lie de-
clined to say whether 1t was a man
or a woman.
II is pointed ont that 1t would
