Chicago, March l0.-Ruth Ran
dali, whose letters and expense ac-
counts were made public by the
coroner, now appears in the light
of vampire. Her body lies in the
morgue on slab adjoining that
which holds the form of Captain
Clifford Bleyer whom she killed
when he showed a disposition to
break relations with her. Physi-
clans believe Bleyer died six hours
before the woman finally took her
own life. The police believe she
first slew him and after she was
certain he was quite dead, she
turned the pistol upon herself.
The shots that brought an abrupt
end of the liaison of Captain Bleyer
and Mrs. Randall, have brought the
unsuspecting wife, Mrs. Bleyer, to
her knees in misery and helpless
ness. Despite her misery, the
tortured widow denied reports that
she would refuse to look upon her
dead husband or permit his burial

counts seized in the flat where Mrs.
Randall slew Captain Bleyer and
herself show that she invaded other
homes and that she was receiving
money from other men. There were
letters from other wives, excoriat-

In her vampire book" were the
names of many men and opposite
these names entries of money she
had received from them. She also
kept diary, so sensational in its
disclosures that authorities are sup

B. c.. illustrate actually the process Of
glass blowing.
Although the art in question Is Of
such great antiquity. It's processes
have remained fundamentally the
same through the ages. Many cen
turtles before Christ was born the
glass-blower melted his raw material
in a pot Of ireclay. just as IS done
nowadays. and used a blowing-tube
exactly like the modern pattern Of that
instrument.
When the Roman civilization was
wiped out. the art Of glass making
was 10 some extent lost. But by no
means wholly. There was still a de-
mand for glass; and during what are
called the dark ages" important
buildings were provided with glass
windows. Medieval monasteries had
such windows. and so likewise diG the
robber castles perched on heights
along the storied Rhine. ruins Of
which are OF so romantic an interest
today. As far back as the sixth cen
fury, A. D.. the French taught the
Saxons OF England how TO make glass.
A very recent and quite wonderful
OF the art IS represented
by the glassware OF shimmering me-
tallic colors. which is commonly dis
played In jewellers windows. Extor-
tionate prices are demanded for It.
notwithstanding the fact that the cost
OF making Il is relatively small. The
colors as anybody might guess. are
contributed by metallic oxides.
