eide bureau. got to work soon AFTER
the discovery of the body.
They came to the conclusion that
two men had had hand in the killing.
They pointed out that the receptacle
in which the milk was had been set
down with care and that stick of
candy was still in the girls hand. She
must have been held so firmly that two
hands must have been necessary for
that alone. they thought.
About the throat they discovered
deep finger marks and, as we'll as a
slash OF the knife, scratches, which
probably came from finger nails. Both
tiny wrists bore the impress of fingers.
Fingerprints on the milk bottle were
developed by sprinkling powder over its
surface. Every one in the house re-
pudated the notion that he had ham
died the bottle.
Photographs will be taken Of the
finger marks and wounds. Both Cap
tain Carey and Assistant District At
tOrney Murphy believed that the girl
had been stranglcd. Evidence of this
they found not only in the marks upon
her throat, but in the fact that no out
cry was heard until she gasped her
final breath. An autopsy will be per-
formed.
Miss Johnson, who found the body,
conducts the Oriental and Colonial
Hand Weaving Company in her rooms.
Her customers are known to her and
few visit her place in the evening.
Mrs. Spengler, who last saw Leonore
alive, conducts the Argus Press Clip

Washington, March 10. - Baron
Chinda. the Japanese Ambassador,
spent nearly an hour with Secretary
Bryan to-day comforting informally on
the japanese demands on China and
Americas protest against the infringe
ment Of certain treaty rights OF the
United States in Japan.
The Ambassador explained to the
Secretary that he spoke without au-
thority, not having been made &C
quainted by his government with the
exact status Of the case OF the United
States as presented at Peking by the
American Minister. The conference was
of most cordial character. lnciden-
tally the subject of japanese prisoners
in Germany and Austria was referred
to. but the State Department has not
in hand any answer as to the condi-
tions lately complained of by the Am
bassador.
Unofficially it is understood that
Germany has evinced no disposition to
modify her attitude toward Japanese
whose residence in Germany or Aus
ia-Hungary is enforced to meet the
similar conditions of treatment &C
corded the German or Austrian sub
jects in Japan.

Tien-Tsin, March 49,. the most

Japan preference in future railway

ploy only Ja~anese in this sphere

China stoutly declines to concede
farming and mining privileges to Jap

owing to Japan's insisting that the
Japanese must enjoy extra-terrltorlal
privileges. China argues this to mean
an infringement of her administrative

her, and now, with her 1.-THE figure
close held in his embrace, and her
red-brOwn hair brushing his temples,
he marveled how such an instant OF
doubt could have existed. He knew
only that the silver of the moon and
the kiss of the breeze and the clasp
of her soft arms about his neck were
all parts of one great miracle. And
she, who had waited and almost de-
SPARED, not taking count of what she
had suffered, felt her knees grow
weak. and her head grow dizzy with
sheer happiness, and wondered if 1t
were not too marvellous to be true.
And, looking very steadfastly into his
eyes, she saw there the CLEAN that
once had frightened her; the CLEAN
that spoke of something stronger and
more compelling than his love. 1t no
longer frightened her, but made her
soul sing, though it was more intense
than it had ever been before, for now
she knew that it was she herself who
brought it to his pupils-and that
nothing would ever be stronger.
But they had much to say to each
other and. finally, Samson broke the
silence:
did ye think I wasn't a-coming
back, Sally?" he questioned, softly. At
that moment he had no realization
that his tongue had ever fashioned
smoother phrases. And she, too, who
had been making war on crude idioms,
forgot. as she answered.:
"Ye done said ye was comm" Then
she added a happy lie: Il knowed

After a while she drew away and
said, slowly:
Samson, I've done kept the old
rifle-gun ready fer We. Ye said ye'd
need it bad when ye come back. an

voice dropped almost to a whisper as

Holt, who attempted to assassinate J.
p. Morgan, Saturday and had pre-
viously attempted to blow up the
capitol, committed suicide tonight by
plunging through an open Jail win

dead when Jail attendants reached him.
Holt was under the guard of Jere-
miah Organ, a jail attendant. The
prisoner was apparently sleeping and
Organ, hearing a noise on the other
side of the Jail tier, left his place in
front of Holt open door to investi-
gate. He said he heard noise re-

and climed to the top cell tiers to a
window through which he plunged

The physician summoned found his

The district attorney searched the cell
later and found a letter evidently writ
ten before Holt's attempted suicide
earlier in the morning with a pencil
with which he tried to sever an artery.
The note was addressed "To my dears'
and said:

At midnight there was still confu-

of the manner in which Holt was Kill

disagreed as to the place where the
body was found. O'Ryan said he was

not know that he had changed his
manner of speech.
For an instant Sally looked up into
his face, then with sudden laugh
she informed him:
~ can say isn't instead of 'hain't,

He held her off at arms length and
looked at her pridefully, but under his
gaze her eyes fell and her face flushed
with sudden diffidence and a new
shyness of realization. She wore a
calico dress, but at her throat was
soft little bow of ribbon. She was
no longer the totally unself-conscious
wood nymph, though as natural and IN
stinctive as in other days. Suddenly
she drew away from him little, and
her hands went slowly to her breast
and rested there. She was fronting
great crisis, but, in the first flush OF
Joy she had forgotten it, She had
