Conscious, But Would Not
Tell Who Assailed Her


Mrs. Dennis did somebody hurt
you?
"'Yes, somebody she replied. y, 2,
Who was it?'
Never mind she replied.
ION December IS, 1901, Mrs. Dennis
became conscious, but after being ques-
toned for about thirty minutes made
no disclosures which would justify an
arrest. t.. -.
After lowering between life and
death for more than ten months. Mrs.
Dennis died at Garfield Hospital on
October %, 1902. about 4 a. m.
Richard Cole. colored, who was en-
ployed at the house Of Mrs. Dennis as
q porter, was arrested November Z;
1902, charged with the murder and held
by the coroner's jury for the action OF
the grand jury. Later the case was
nolle pressed by the United States Dis
trict Attorney, December 5, 1902, and
Cole was released.
The mystery in the Dennis case was
intensified and made more battling by
the fact that the slayer went to no
pains to conceal his identity, destroyed
no evidences of the crime. yet left no
clues whatsoever, not even a foot
print.
The murderer entered Mrs Dennis

A circumstance which made the mys-
terry even more impenetrable was that

months and twelve days she lay on a
cot at Garfield Hospital, had many
lucid intervals and spells of conscious

the detectives who were kent on the
case from the day II was first reported
until Mrs. Dennis died.
"It was not only the most puzzline
and mystifying case on which I worked
during my twenty-five years at the

Case Against Porter
Was NolIe Pressed

'After DR.. Atkinson had dressed her

TO the front of the house to be placed
in the Garfield Hospital ambulance.

suggested to DR.. Atkinson that she
might be conscious and able to give US
some clue or Information upon which
to begin our search for her assailant
"Dr; Atkinson leaned over the

nis?'
Yes, you're Doctor Atkinson faint

That's tine,' said DR.. Atkinson to
us as he again bent over the stretcher
and asked:
Did somebody hurt your
Yes, somebody replied Mrs. Dem
We'll. Detectives Horne and Evans
are here and want to find the person
who hurt you. Can you tell them?'
" Never mind thatsanOw,' murmured
Mrs. Dennis, as she rolled over on the
stretcher and lapsed into unconscious
ness and was taken to the hospital"
Here Detective Evans took up the
narrative again to tell of the various
clues Investigated and the results OF
the inquiries.
we thought robbery was the mo-
tive" he said, even in the face OF the
discovery of the jewelry and money in
the room, for sometimes a burglar is
frightened by the sight of his dead or
dying victim, loses his nerve, and runs
away for fear other persons will be at
tracted to the scene by the screams or
groans.
I'VE were Immediately confronted
with the fact that the person who COM
mitted this crime must have had a key
to Mrs. Dennis's room door, and that
he went there unarmed, trusting to
luck, evidently, to find some weapon
In the house with which to dispose OF
any one who interfered with his ne
farious Intentions.
THE porter employed by Mrs. Dennis
was arrested when he CAME to work.
He was questioned and eross-dues-
TONED for many hours, but stoutly
he had been to q dancei and thus sx-
planned his tardiness, Investigation
proved he had attended q dance After
several days confinement, during which
his every statement was Investigated.
he was released.
subsequently he was arrested again,
and vet again, the last time being on
November Z. 1902, about three weeks
Rfter Mrs. Dennis died. He was des-
perately i'll, and believed to be near
death but he could give us no infor-
nation of va hle.
"a corOner's fury, however, held him
for the action of the grand jury. This
was done probably more because he was
In custody than because OF evidence
against him. We had very littld other
than suspicion against him The grand
jury indicted him, but upon investiga-
tion or the meager evidence the Dis
trict Attorney asked the court to nolle
PROSE- the case. and 1t was dropped
from the record, the porter thereupon
being released"

Neglected to Inform Police
Department In Time

How do you know the crime was
committed after O'Clock in the morn
ing?" Horne was asked.
"on one of the upper floors Of the X
street house lived John Gross. a news
paper man. who worked at night. We
ascertained from him that II was his
practice to turn out the hall light when
he returned home at 4 o'clock every
morning. He was positive he turned the
light out at 4 o'clock that morning,
and was equally certain that the front
parlOr window was not up, that the
flower pot was not overturned. and
that he heard no sound coming from
Mrs. Dennis room when he entered.
From other occupants of the house.

learned that they were awakened be-

groans were conveyed to the upper
floors through heating register flue.

 Deputy Daring has a clever plot. The escape of two convicts, and their Kidnapping the sheriffs daughter gives ground for a series of genuine thrills. Fielding and the members of his very adequate cast risked their lives more than once when the scenes were being photograp pbed. The action is vivid. l. is full of dramatic moments and tense situations. The pursuit of the runa- way engine calls for courage as well as finished acting and both are not wanting in Deputy Daring" There is q vein of romance in the pictured story. IL is a complete drama in itself with an independent plot and denouement. Yet it is fashioned in such Q manner that MT. Fielding contemplates making it the first episode of Deputy Daring" series. It is safe to say that anyone seeing this picture will wish to follow it to it's conclusion.
