POLICE CHIEF "SHOTr
QUESTIONS AT HIM.

l went in and stood in line and went
into the room again and stayed few
minutes in the mortuary chamber. The
little girl had been cleaned up. Her
hair had al! been cleaned and smoot he'd
out and there was a clean white sheet
over the rest of her body.
l returned 10 the front OF the under
taking establishment and stood chat
ting with Mr.. Schiff and NJ Darley and
then went with them to Police Head
quarters and to Chief Lanford's office.
The three of us stood talking there
OF Chief Lanford, but the questions the
other detectives would shoot at us. FL
nally Mr. Darley said he would like to
talk to Newt Lee. Then he went into
another room, and | presume they
brought Newt Lee up from a cell SO Mr..
barley could talk to him.
After Newt Lee was gone the detec-
tives showed US the two notes and the
pad back with still few unused leaves
to it, and the pencil they claimed they
had found down in the basement near the
body. Mr.. Schfff and myself looked at
those notes and tried TO decipher them.
but they We're written exceedingly dim
and Wee very rambling and incoherent.
Neither Of us could recognize the
handwriting nor get any sense out of
them at all. One of these notes was
written on a sheet OF pencil pad paper.

MORBID CROWD GREW
AROUND FACTORY.

Mr.. Darley left the station first and
few minutes thereafter Mr.. Schin
and myself left. Mr.. SchlH had an ap-
pointment to meet some friends at the
Cnion Station, and, as it was little
early. we took walk around by the
pencil factory, where we noticed the
morbid crowd that had collected
around the factory. We stood there a
minute or two and continued on our
way.
returned to my home (bout quar-
ter to and found that there was no
one in. My wife had told me that II
she was not at home she probably would
be at her sisters, Mrs. Ursenbach 1
started over there and on my way met
Arthur Haas, Ed Montag and Marcus
Loeb, who stopped me and asked me
about things.
They had heard about the little girl
being dead in the pencil factory and l
stopped and discussed 1t with them.
] finally got to the Ursenbabch home
and stayed there until about o'clock,
there again the subject being the trag-
edy in the pencil factory.
Mr. Ike Haas, vice president Of the
pencil factory, telephoned me at about
that time and l went over there. l
talked to him about what / had seen
that morning and what / could deduce
from the sfacts that were known and
from what the detectives had told me.
! called for my wife about o'clock
and we started on our way home.
After supper l started to read the
paper Between 8 and $50 telephoned
my brother-in-law, Alex Marcus. and
asked him X he would come down. but
he said he thought he would not on
account OF the rain. l continued read
ing there that evening.
There was company there visiting my
father and mother-in-law, among them
being. to the best of my recollection. Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Lehman. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ike Strauss and Mr.. and Mrs. Carr
Wolfsheimer. About 10 o'clock all the
company left and ! went upstairs with
ruy wife and retired shortly after.

EMPLOYS A PINkERTON
TO AID CITY SLEUTHS.

The detectives evidently were perfect
ly we'll satisfied with what they had
seen there and they left without any
further remarks I went downstairs
and Conversed with my folks until din
ner time. Dinner was served to my
father-in-law, my mother-in-law, my
wife and myself by Minola Mcknight.
After dinner ! telephoned down to the
Office to Mr.. Schff and told him to get
MIR. Montag's permission to put on a
detective. preferably a Pinkerton de-
tective. to work with and assist the
city detectives in ferretng out the
crime as an evidence Of the interest in
this matter which the pencil company
was taking.
l thought 1t was no more than we
ought to do. and told Mr.. Schiff that
would be down town between half
past : and 3,
l went to the pencil factory and on
going into the office saw the fol-
lowing men there: Herbert Schif,
Wade Campbell. Mr.. barley. Mr. Stel-
ker. Mr.. Quinn and Mr.. Zyganke. These
foremen were sitting around because
We had shut down, as they told me. due
to the fact that the plant was wholly
demoraiized and the girls were gong
into Mysteries. They couldn't stick to
their work; they were crying and going
on over what had happened there.

him, went right along with him, and
when l got down to police headquar-
ters ] sat in one OF the outer Offices
that the detectives use. 1t wasn't tho
office Of Chief Lanford: he hadn't
come down yet That WAS between 2
and $40 when got there. I waited
around the once possibly an hour.

still didn't see anything OF Chief

Sig Montag and Herbert Haas. a cou-

possibly at 10 o'clock, I saw Mr.

while | was there. to the hest OF my
recollection. this very time slip on

was shown to me.
IN LOOKING over N anu S'uu' '"e '.

of an hour had occurred three times

When l first looked at 1t, ] only
noticed that every line had punch

carefully. 1t was the same slip l had
taken out of the clock.
Chief Lanford or one OF the officers
handed it to me at police head9uar-

the writing that was on 1t. which you
can very readily see now even though
it has been erased.
