 The police advanced the theory that the physician was lured into the tenement for the purpose of robbery and that he strangled the patient while fighting off his assailants and then was stabbed by the man who lured him into the trap.
 The murderer evidently lost his nerve, the police believe and failed to carry out the robbery, for large sum of money and a gold watch were found on the physicians body.
 Frank Amorose, roomer in the house, told the police he saw Dr Campisi enter the house with anoth- CT man who seemed to be greatly agitated. Shortly after the physi clan arrived. Ambrose said, ht heard the noise of breaking glass A few minutes later the man who accompanied the physician ran iron the place. Ambrose called police man and an investigation revealed the bodies.
 I Mrs. Dorothy Parker who conduct. the rooming house, said the strang led man rented a room about weel ago without giving his name and sht | had not seen him in that time. Noi had she seen, she said, the other man described to her as the ont who brought the physician.

 This will raise the number of locomotives on the line from Mem phis to TeXarkana to l60, and the in. crease of the 1G new ones will greatly facilitate transportation diff faculties. MT. Miller said last night the great need now was not so much for new cars, but that the ad- dition locomotives served distinct need. Other improvements of a physical nature in the Cotton Belt lines are to be put into effect, he stated.
 The purchase of the new lomotives is a part of general program of large expenditures for new equip ment. MT. Miller stated, and is in line with the policy of President Herbert to bring the Cotton Belt back to normal condition as soon A LIo al had promised shippers that if they would be patient, the Cotton Belt would soon be in position to rem der full service and the present ex- penditure for new locomotives and other equipment is an evidence that MT. Herbert intends to keep faith.
 MT. Herbert passed through Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon in his private car, but remained.here only about half an hour, when he depart ed for visit to Texarkana and other points on the Cotton Belt south of Pine Bluff.
