SCIENCE OF NOSES

Nashgraphy reveals the character,
habits and inclinations of people by
simple inspection of noses. Accord

The curved fieshy nose is a mark
of domination and cruelty. Catherine

had noses of this kind. The curved,
thin nose, on the contrary, is mark

Where His Death Occurred In
A Short Time
Officials Making Thorough
Investigation In Case

Mystery surrounds the death at the
Mt. Vernon hospital Thursday night
of William Malioy, although strong
ly incriminating evidence led to the
apprehension at $50 o'clock Friday
morning by Officers Alsdorf and
Hough of William Jones, junk dealer,
at whose home in the "Bowery" Nal.
10y lay unconscious for nearly 80
hours with fractured skull before
removal to the hospital Thursday
night at o'clock.
On the story of Delano Monroe,
commonly known as "Fatty" Monroe,
hangs the guilt or innocence of Jones
of what is believed by police officials
to be sordid murder, prompted by a
desire for money MaIIoy is alleged to
have had.
Monroe tells of a visit to Jones'
rooms at 5 o'clock Wednesday after
noon. He was chatting with Jones
when Malloy, who was In the bed
room, appeared and asked for a buck
ct. Monroe states that, on Jones' di.
rectIon he handed the bucket to NAL
10Y, who was standing In the doorway
at the time. Returning to his seat,
Monroe heard the bucket drop and,
raising his eyes, saw Malloy topple
over in the middle Of the room.
With Jones, Monroe went into the
room and it required the efforts of
both to place Mailoy in the bed which
be had been occupying. Though un-
conscious, his condition did not seem
serious to Monroe.
1t was not until 9 o'clock Thursday
morning that a physician was sum-
moned, when Tom Severns, neigh
Dor, happened in Jones' room and,
seeing the serious condition Of NAL
10y, telephoned for DR.. Virgil Fisher.
The physician left medicine and call
ed again later in the afternoon.
At o'clock Thursday night, NAL
Ioy's condition became so critical that
ne was rushed to tho Mt. Vernon hos
pitaI in McCormick's ambulance
where death came at 10 o'clock. A
triangular-shaped hole In the back Of
MalIoy's skull, together with bruises
on the upper and inner parts of both
arms, were the only marks on the
body.
Chief of Police Parker had given
orders to the force that, In event Of
MaIIoy's death Jones should be ap-
pretended. When the end came, ef-
forts were made to locate the man,
but he could not be found until Fri
day morning at $50 o'clock, when he
returned to his home after spending
the night in South Vernon. He was
Immediately arrested and placed In
jail.
To Chief Of Police Parker Friday
morning, Jones told story of NAL
loy's falling In his room Wednesday
afternoon while "Fatty" Monroe was
present and of the two lifting him to
the led. The chief was of the private
opinion that Jones was not telling
the truth in aserlbIng Malloy's frae-

IL will ber ecalled by the people of
western Nevada that James 4. Dolan,
was sheriff of Mono county, Cal. lit
tie over a year ago and was killed at
Mono Lake July 26. 1915. by two
renegade Mexicans. while attempting
to arrest them on the charge of hav-
sina. at Mono Lake.
A posse was organized at Aurora,
Nevada, and also at Bodie and Memo
Lake, Cal. and pursued the Mexicans
desperados. in which pursuit many
shots were exchanged and both Mexi-
cans were killed. Attorneys for the
state of California contended that
Sheriff Dolan. being an elective offi-
Ger, was not an employe of Mono
county. while in the pursuit of the
Mexicans, and the attorneys also
claimed that he had been negligent
in the attempt of arrest. Both con
tentions were overruled by the COM

the payment to Mrs. Dolan, who, with
little dalughter two years old, was
dependent upon him. The case was
conducted for Mrs Dolan by Attor-
neys II. NJ Edwards of Bridgeport and

early in 1912, stepped from the con-
demned cell at midnight Sunday night
and ic now enjoying the God-given
light In the prison yeard, mingling
with other convicts and enjoying the
same freedom as are his fellow -felons.
The murderer's release from the
guarding eye of the death watch did
not come through and supreme court

act of the board of pardons commute
ing his sentence. It was ordered by
the board Of prison commissioners be-
cause there is remaining in the legis-
lative appropriation of 1915 for ex-
penses of the death watch just $5O.79.

cost the people of Nevada, since Janu-

The Tramner case came up in the
Supreme Court Tuesday and the News
gives the following report of the pro-
ceedings:
In the matter of the motion in the
Trammer case, them otion was de-
MED. This means that Trammer, the
murderer of the Quilicys at Inlay
four years ago. for which crime he
had been sentenced to be executed,
will be taken to Winnemucca, where
the time for his execution will be
reset. In the mean time it is prob
able that the case will go to the United
States Supreme Court, and 1t may drag
Tor many months perhaps a year or
two, before the final step-the execu-
ton of Tramner-is reached, and this
only in the event that the Nevada
courts are sustained by the highest
