bust appearance But the nervous state was fact before this affair oc- i cured, and while she is feeling better ] In health the strain of appearing be- | fore the coroner might again produce acute nervous conditions.
 Police Have Shown Nothing. l q hold that the police have shown nothing to prove that Mrs. Angle had anything to do with the death of MT 1 Ballou. There is nothing to support i even suspicion that she caused his death The police have had much to Say about certain bioodstains and eX- hibitS. In order to have accurate analysis of certain stains which have been referred to on the hallway floors, sidewalks and stairs, we have had two bacteriologists make tests.
 While no report has been made to us we are satisfied that our claims are upheld. For instance the police have referred to so-called pool of i: blood on the second floor landing. We are informed that this pool was wholly made by tobacco juice. Stains on the side of the first flight of stairs we admitted might be blood. Mrs. Angle has said that when she fould Ballou l lying at the foot of the stairs she picked him up and carried him down ! the first flight Os stairs, rested him at the foot until she had opened the door and then placed him outside. She i cOuiQ. QO LTlS easily as BaIlOu was a slight man while Mrs. Angle is a large
 woman. In carrying BaIIou downstairs ] she probably steadied herself by plac-
 ing her hand on the wall In her eX- 1 citement she did not notice until later that she had touched blood which had flown profusely, very profusely, from a bad he1norrahage caused by two frac- lures in the skull. The only blood stains in her apartments are isolated drops which undoubtedly came from l.the mop rag which Mrs. Angle used to
 wipe up the blood inside the lower l door, which rag she brought back to ] her rooms and placed it where it was 1 found by the police in the place she | indicated.
 1 Accounts for Blood on FIatiron. The smoothing iron was on an iron l ing board spread from a table to & ! chair. The police claim bloodstains ! are on the iron. We know of none | but we do know that persons who ] handled clothing on which there was /! blood also handled the iron and it l might be that one of those persons i smeared it, unknowingly.
 'Ballou's straw hat, another exhibit to which the police attach importance, has no cut in it such as would have resulted had the edge of the smooth | ing iron been struck against it. The indentation on the hat was caused, we
 claim, by the chest lid, being jammed against it. The chest was full of
 clothing; the lid was opened and the
 hat thrust in. There is no blood in
 side the hat but on the inner side of the chest cover is a rounded smear of blood which exactly fits the outline i of a portion of the hat crown.
 MT. Ballou was not assaulted in 1 Mrs. Angles rooms. No black shirt
 or any other garment was wrapped
 around his head to prevent flow of
 blood while he was spirited to the l street; there was no quarrel in the | rooms; no third, or fourth party was l in the rooms when MT. Ballou made
 his call and there are no mysterious
 features to his death. He fell down a flight of stairs
