ALDERMEN WHO WERE AGAINST
HOYNE SHOWED UNDER

Five lonely aldermen took stand
for Chief Healey in yesterdays coun-
ell meeting and were bowled over,
showed under and steam-ronered by
a vote of so for States Atty Hoyne.
The question was whether Hoyne
shall have Is policemen and pick
those he wants from the city. The
five aldermen voting to help Mayor
Thompson and Chief Healey are
Michaelson, De Priest, Norris, Cross,
LaWley. Aldermen Merriam and
Buck argued Hoyne and not Healey
should pick the states attorneys po-
licemen- because Hoyne may want to
use the policemen for getting evil
dence against Chief Healey.

Accepting the family's conten-
ton that they believed the girl
had gone to Florida, and that they
are innocent, there is another
possible explanation now of the
crime; an escaped inmate of Pom

tiers to persons in her native town
which letters, although she did not
say SO, were supposed by the cap
tains to deal with the care of her
property while she was away.
Having apparently relieved her
mind by this method, and evident
ly considering the marriage ques-
ton postponed for the present, she
settled down to nurse the sick man
and to keep house as, in her opin-
ion, a house should be kept.
Ralph Hazeltine called on the
afternoon following Elsie's arrival,
and Captain Err insisted on his
staying for tea. It might have
been noticed that the electrician
seemed a trifle embarrassed when
Miss Preston came into the room
but as the young lady was not en-
barrassed In the least. his nerv-
BUSINESS soon wore off.
But 1t came back when Captain
Fri said:
ooh, / say, Mr.. Hazeltine, for
got to ask you, did 'Gusty come
yesterday"
Ralph answered, rather hurried
ly, that she did not. He endeav-
ored to change the subject, but
the Captain wouldn't let him.
"Well, there!" he exclaimed
amazedly; 'if 'Gusty amt broke
her record! Fust time since Perez

mander' disease that she amt been
on hand when the month was up,

her face, expect there'd be
squalls, but I callate she couldn't

Now 1t may have been Mr..
Hazeltine's fancy, but he could
have sworn that there was just the
suspicion of a twinkle in Miss
Preston's eye as she asked, inno-
Gently enough:
"Is she young lady, Captain
Eri?"

Like you? Oh. my soul and

The Diemer family remains in
seclusion in the rambling old cot
tage that overlooks the craggy
banks of the Vermilion. Neither
father nor mother will see visit

1t was Magdaline, cold, calm
and defiant, who told me:

No motive to murder "Crissy"
is found. but her death might
have been accidental. The insane
girl might have been violent. The
blow below the left ear that
broke her neck and fractured her
skull might have been struck in
an effort to control her.
The Diemers are respectable
folk: the girls have social ambi-
lions. To have the dead girl
found. and father or sister
charged with murder would have
meant social ruin.

taken Ill and had to give up the
school. Elsie Immediately applied
for the position, and secured it
through the influence of Captain
Fri.
So the captains and Mrs. Snow
and Elsie settled down to a long
winter. They had one or two out
ings-always on Saturdays be-
cause of Elsie's school-some
member of the party staying at
home with the invalid.
One of the most interesting OF
these to Elsie was their trip up
the coast to the life-saving station.
Captain Jerry stayed with John
Baxter, and Hazeltine made a
member of the party. They took
the entire day to it, and Mrs. Snow
made q great friend of Miss Pa
thence Davis, who was visiting her
brother, Captain Luther Davis,
chief of the station.
Thanksgiving day came, and the
captains entertained Miss Patience
Davis and her brother and Ralph
Hazeltine at dinner. That dinner
was an event. Captain Fri and
Mrs. Snow spent a full twenty
minutes with the driver of the
butchers cart, giving him direc-
tons concerning the exact breed
of turkey that was to be delivered,
and apparently these orders were
effectual, for Captain Luther, who
was obliged to hurry back to the
life-saving station as soon as din
ner was over, said that he was SO
full of white meat and stuffing
that he cal'lated he should "gob-
BILE" all the way to the beach. His
sister stayed until the next day,
and this was very pleasing to all
hands, particularly Captain Perez.
Even John Baxter was better
that day. He seemed trifle more
rational, and apparently under
stood when they told him that it
was Thanksgiving.

curious, that's all. Have you

Ralph stammered, somewhat
confusedly, that he hadn't had the
pleasure. The Captain glanced
from the electrician to Miss Pres

denly realized the situation.

But Mr.. Hazeltine apparently
took his forgiveness for granted,
for his calls became more and
more frequent, until his dropping

So September and October
passed and November came.
John Baxter continued to waver
between this world and the next.
He had intervals of consciousness
in which he recognized the cap
tains and Elsie, but these rational
moments were few and, although
he talked a little, he never men,
toned recent events nor alluded
to the fire.
Elsie was still a member of the
captains strangely assorted house

leaving, but the girl was uneasy,
for by this time, of course, the
position she had occupied in Bos-
ton had been filled.

PONTIAC. ILL.,, Nov. 22.-What
is the accusation in the dead eyes
of poor mad "Crissy" Diemer as
they gaze wraithlike from the
cloud of suspicion that hovers
over the Diemer cottage, where
the girls father, mother and sis
ter are awaiting trial charged
with her murder7
That is the question the Die
mers' nemesis, w. A. Patterson,
would like to have aniwered; for
the answer would solve the
enigma OF the Diemers' attitude
during the sensational develop
ments that have placed them UNI
der suspicion of a peculiarly afro
cious crime.
Patterson, county treasurer,
former sheriff, and expert crimi-
nal investigator asserts the MUIR
der was committed by no-one but
the family; but his charges are
met by the stoical assertions Of
Magdaline Diemer that she alone
h responsible for the family's
neglect to search for the missing
girl, and that belief "Crissy"
would resent interference was the
sole reason.

awkward, but Ralph felt that 10y
atty to Captain Err forbade his
doing anything that might urge
the self-possessed Miss Black to
prolong her visit, so for a long
time he said nothing. The young
lady looked out of the window
and Mr.. Hazeltine looked at her.
He was more than ever of the
opinion that the "middlin' term
should be cut out of her descrip-
ton.
Just then Miss Black turned and
caught him intently gazing at her.
She colored, apparently with dis
pleasure, and looked out of the
window again. Mr.. Hazeltine col
ored also, and fidgeted with the
book on the table. He felt that he
must say something now, SO he
thought OF the book in his hand.
