unforeseen happens-for instance, blizzard; wet
snow, which would break down signals and clog rail

foods-each about as bad as the other. We will con-

under which the young wife met her
brutal death, the Washington police took
up the clue today.
After they had finished talking to a
number OF painters who live here and
who worked on the house OF tragedy
three weeks ago they admitted the right
track seemed as hard to find as before.
The workmen they examined cast little
light on the tragedy by their statements
TO Detectives Kelly and Burlingame OF
the Washington Police Department. who
have been assigned to tho case by Major
Raymond Pullman.
The houses were painted three
weeks ago under the direction of
Charles A Friemel who owns the
property. Facts brought out by the
detectives show that he had qUarreled
with contract painters who agreed to
do the work. Then he employed any
stray workmen who may have CHANGED
around. These substitute en-
ployes were both white and colored.

This statement came unsolicited
from Mrs. Toense and is particularly
significant; in that she has not talk

has not been to Annapolis, and had
no means OF knowing what line the
detectives were following.
One of the reasons why II was
thought possible that Mrs. King
could have been involved was that,
after considerable questioning. she
seemed very depressed and declared
that she had been marked for
death" Those working on the case
believed this statement showed signs

fact, IL had been a belief in the fam
