Police Work on Theory That
Second Man Was in Room
of Mrs. Fl. M. Angle.

Stamford, Conn, June 30.--Definte
the police are working on the theory
that Waldo r. Ballou, the aged polit-
ical leader, whose tragic death early
last week is under investigation, was
murdered.
There was also anintimation that
the bail Of Mrs. H. NJ. Angle, at
whose apartments Raliou was a vis-
tor Oh the night Of his death, might
be recalled. She now is at liberty
under $4,000 bond awaiting the out
Gene Of the coroner's inquiry.
1T Was learned today that while The
police do not believe she knows who
was responsible for it, she may be
regarded as very material witness
The theory Oh which the police il is
understood, are working, is that a
second man WAS in the Angle apart
ments after Ballou left last Tuesday
night, that Ballou returned unexpect-
edly and found him there, and that
quarrel ensped during which Balou
received the blow which caused his
death.
Inc police claim to be in posses
sion of evidence to substantiate this
theory and which ii is said NAV lead
to all arrest
The coroner expects to resume his
inquest Friday and meantime the
chemists employed by the inyestiga
tors are continuing their analysis of
the various tains found at the Angle
apartments, including the most
recently discovered marks on the
mating near Mrs. Angles bed. The
discovery of this stand is understood
to nave been one of the reasons for
the sudden postponement of the in
quest yesterday.
The police, it was learned. do not
expect that the marks found on the
smoothing iron, which has figured in
the case, will prove to be bloodstains
but do believe that the iron was USED
to strike down Ballou, and hold that
the condition of the dead mans straw
hat, found in clothes chest in Mrs
Angles rooms, is evidence along that
line.
eonard Blonder father of Mrs.
Angle, said today when the new evil
dence was brought to his attention
that he was satisfied that if Ballon
was murdered it was not in his
daughters room, and declared his
belief that she had nothing to do
with it.
