Continued from page l

inheritance. He had been looking for
them since Tuesday night
On the inside Of the cover Of the
cedar clothes box, where the police
found Ballou's smashed straw hat the
notice found blood stains to-day. These
stains Chief Brennan asserted showed
that when the hat had been first placed
in the box it was bloody on the out
side. and when the cover was closed
the rim of the crown was imprinted
in red on the cover.
"This new stain we discovered" said
Chief Brennan, "tends to show that an
effort was made to wash the blood off
the hat, for in it's present condition
there are no visible blood stains on
its RIM"
With Chief Brennan and States At
torney Cummings this afternoon at
the apartment was DR.. Bruce 5.
Weaver, the pathologist and bacteri-
ologist Of the Stamford Hospital. DR.:
Weaver took fourteen specimens Of
blood from the walls and floor of Mrs.
Angles apartment and some from a
rug in her living room and more from
the walls in the hall and from the
stairs.
Measurements were made of the
blood stains on the wall in the hall
to show their distance from the foo-.
Especial care was used in measuring
the blood prints on the landing of the
second floor, the floor beneath Mrs. An
giles apartment.
DR.. Weaver also took away with him
for chemical analysis the fatiron with
the stains on the heel, which Chief
Brennan thinks are blood.
On Monday Coroner Phelan will re-
convene his court at p. m. to hear
Mrs. Angles story.
To-day she spent considerable time
at the window of Mrs. Eagles apart
ment, looking out on the street and at
times reading newspapers and at times
sewing a little.
Mrs. Angle denied in her interview
that she had said Ballou was intoXi-
Gated.
"Why do people think killed him >"
she cried. "Why do they think | tried
to dispose of his body? If had want
ed to do this would have kept him in
side and disposed Of his body in several
ways, and no one would have ever
found him." =
Judge N. c. Downs, counsel for Mrs.
Angle, said to-day that il would be
easy for him 70 show that the fiatiron
in the possession of the police had not
made the dent in the straw hat.
He said Mrs. Angle was left-handcd,
and therefore could not have struck a
blow that would have denied the hat in
the manner in which the police assert
the blow was struck.
Judge Downs also said that the stain
of blood on the inside Of the box
proves that the dent was made WHOM
Mrs. Angle closed the box. crushing
the hat, thus causing the dent.
Mrs. Angle once had ambitions 70 be
an author. in 1910 she had printed
and copyrighted an account of an auto
mobile trip she made with her father
and mother through Maine and the
White Mountains, under the title, "The
Log or Diary of Our Automobile Voy-
age Through Maine and the White
Mountains" written by "0ne Of the
Survivors"
The log has the following dediea-
ton: "To Daddy, who more by good
luck than good care spared my life to
write this diary, the same is thankfully
dedicated. Neleh."
The account shows that the writer
has a certain vein of humor. She de-
seribes a "euss sheet" which her moth
er kept, in which to record the foreible
expressions her father might make
from time 20 time.
