Mr.. Howell was frowning at the

"Tbis is where 1 entered the case,'

lower hall this morning to feed the
dog Peter, who was whining on the

Mr.. Howell looked at me and smiled.

he said. "Mr. Holcombe believes that
circumstantial evidence may probably
hang man; l do not" And to Mr..
Holcombe, $50, having found a wet
slipper and broken knife, you are pre-

thusiasm, Mrs. Pitman," he said "He
is bloodhound on the scent. If his

and stepped into the boat "Remem-

questioned me closely about the events
OF the morning, and l recalled the in.

made note of 1t at once and grew
very thoughtful.
He left me. however, at the police
station. I'D rather not appear in this,
Mrs. Pitman," he said alphabetically,

lines-not that have anything against
the police; they've done some splendid

Of what l said.

the others. None Of them did, but they
all knew of Jennie Brice and some of
them had seen her In the theater.
