 ing it with the most delightful fumes; it whets the appetite and gives one a sensation of happiness and content which is soothing and delightful. com
 fortable and pleasing.
 The plan of the Coffee House" is in
 measure a Carry On" idea, which origi- , nated like so many other good meas ures, with the war. the Roosevelt boys in New York sponsoring number of similar institutions for the returned soldiers. This developed into others | being partakers of the hospitality thus dispensed until the Coffee House" has become real institution, an American l institution practical and altogether de- !, lightful.
 | With the delft touch of a woman's l hand to make things look "home-like," :" 1 and to make people comfortable, the 1 Coffee House" which Mrs. Fowlkes' band will conduct will be individual
 and attractive.
 l The quartette of loyal members of ] Fowlkes' band, consisting of Mrs. Bar rett, Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Crawford, and Mrs. Mullins, have worked with untiring 1 interest and energy arranging the Coffee House" for the opening today,
 and q glimpse of their taste and ideas on the subject of home making" and nome baking" is revealed in the very inviting and attractive appearance into | which they have transformed the spa-
 cious display rooms" of tn Drennen Motor Car Company.

held parties in his Office at late hours
at night
His subsequent domestic tangles are at
tributed to these night parties by persons
who knew him.
Bryans father was the late DR.. Judas
c. Bryan of the south side.
The late DIR. D. c. Bryan of Indian
apolis was a brother of the slain man.
On Bryans last stay in this city he
lived at family hotel on North Meridian
street.
TELL OF DRINKING
PARTIES IN OFFICE.
Bryan and Griffin, the latter his al
legged slayer, conducted what was known
as the Insurance Trust Company in Chi
cago.
Conflicting stories were told by the
wives of the men, the detectives say.
Reports from Chicago say Bryan and
Griffin formed close companionship
after going into business together.
The wives Of the two men claim their
husbands often held drinking parties in
the Office.
Mrs. Griffin intimated that "other wom-
en-" figured in some Of these parties.
"A week ago Griffin returned home for
dinner after a prolonged drinking bout
with Bryan and some one else, Mrs.
Griffin said.
When asked il the "some one else" was
a woman, Mrs. Griffin told the detectives
maybe So,
Last night Griffin did not return home
for dinner and Mrs. Griffin, according
to her story, telephoned his Office.
She said she knew from his voice
that he had been drinking and that she
went to the office TO get him.
First however, she contradicted Shis
by saying she had a dinner appoint
ment downtown with him.
MRS. GRIFFIN TELLS
OF FINDING BODY.
Arriving at the Office, she said. she dis
covered Bryan's body lying in a pool OF
blood on the floor.
There were two bottles Of whisky on a
desk and revolver. with three chambers
emptied, lay beneath a washstand.
Investigation showed that Bryan had
been shot twice and there was no mark
Of bullet elsewhere in the Office.
Then, Mrs. Griffin said, she went in
search OF her husband and found him
lying drunk In the corridor.
Taken to a police station he was
slapped and shaken into consciousness
for a moment
did you shoot Bryan?" he was asked.
Yes, you --" he replied, II shot
him"
What was it, business matters or a
wOman?"
I'm, you know" was the answer and
he went back to the incoherent meander
ing OF a drunken man.
Mrs. Bryan. who arrived at the scene
Of the murder after being summoned by
Mrs. Griffin, made a statement in which
she termed the latter "a queer woman, -
and said that she had been jealous Of the
time her husband had been spending in
Bryan's company.
The police believe that Mrs. Griffin
has not revealed all she knows Of the
murder and concentrated their question
ing on her.
