DEATH MASK OF WOMAN

County detectives arrived here
from Washington, D. c., shortly be-
fore noon with Royal r. Nichols who
was arrested there while on his hon
eymoon, on charge OF larceny in
connection with the death OF Mrs. ALI
son. The district attorney admitted
that Nichols was merely wanted as q
witness to the removal of Mrs. ALL
son from DR.. II. E. Lutz's office to DR..
Merediths ambulance. shortly after
midnight, on the morning OF March
ls. 1913 Nichols. II was said has ac-
knowIedged that he was In i.ntz's at
the time. Detectives are searching
for persons, presumably burglars, who
broke into the house of mystery
Sunday night and ransacked it. II is
not known whether any incriminatinS
evidence was removed or not. One of
the latest finds in the big sanitarium
on the river, was set of false teeth
for the upper jaw. Mrs. Allison wore
full set and effort was being made
to and the dentist who made them.
