QUESTION WOMAN
in PACINI CASE
Chief O'Hare Gets State
ment of Woman Who Was
Theatre Mans Friend.
SEE NO NEW CLEW
District Attorney Says Woman
Was Examined Because Her
Name Had Been Mentioned.

The police continued arduous work
on an effort to untangle the mystery
surrounding the murder of Charles
Pacini on Tuesday afternoon and this
morning when Chief O'Hare examined
at length a young woman whose name
has been connected with the case in
the gossip about the city. The name
OF the young woman was not given out
but after her examination had been
completed this morning it was said
that the police had secured nothing
from her which would be of great value
in connection with the work on the
case.
"The chief examined this young
woman, both Tuesday afternoon and
this morning." declared the district
attorney. "Her name was not given to
me and have no information as to
just how she happened to be called in.
| know that she was one of the close
personal friends of Charley Pacini and
the police chief has told me that she
was entirely frank in answering all
questions put to her. She did not
have anything which appeared to be
of vital interest in the case. It was
understood that the young woman was
not in custody and any statement she
made she made voluntarily and with
out any coercion of any kind. 1t is
just case of exhausting every lead
which might furnish something on
which the theory we are working on
can be followed. 1t would be unfair
to give out the name of the young
woman at this time and under these
circumstances"
Little Progress Made.
It was admitted by both the district
attorney and at the police Office that
little or no progress had been made
in the investigation of the case. The
district attorney and the chief of po-
lice are in close cooperation in the
work of solving the mystery.
"Of course it looks black now" said
the district attorney. "You recall,
however, that when the Brass Mill of
flee was robbed and Tony Pingatore
shot it looked as if the men connected
with the crime would never be taken,
but they are now in prison and serving
long terms. Maybe sometime the Pa
chi case. will work out the same way
We are watching every development"
Sheriff Gets No Response.
Undersheriff Alex Ritter at the Jail
declared that he was still hopeful that
there would be some developments in
connection with the clew which he was
following in Chicago. 81 have not re-
ceived report as yet from the man /
asked to look this matter up in Chi
cago," said the undersherif, "but I am
hopeful that a report of value will be
received in the near future"
w. w. Gilman, the agent of the gov
ernor who was in Kenosha for several
days, left for Madison on Tuesday af-
ternoon. He gave out no statement
before leaving the city but said that
he would report to the governor prob
ably today.
1t was admitted that the young
woman who had been submitted to the
domination had not been mentioned
in connection with the case before.
The officials also questioned Louis
Stella, who is said to have been close
personal friend Of the deceased thea
ire manager. Mr.. Stella, it was said,
did not furnish any information of
great value to the officials and his
statement containing nothing of an in
teresting nature in regard to the crime.
1t was reported this morning that a
thirty two calibree bullet believed to
be one of the bullets fired by the as
sassin Of Pacini, had been picked up
near the Arnold and Murdoch garage
The bullet had not been turned over
to the police.
