MURDER
STORIES PROBED
Detectives Visit Baltimore Where
Prisoners Say They Remained
for Twelve Hours
CLUE TO ELLIOTT THERE

Detectives from City Hall went
to Baltimore today to check up on the
stories told by the prisoners In the
Pcirce murder case during the twelve
hours they admit they were in that
city.
It IL aleo believed the revolver which
Peter d. Trcndway IL said to have used
and which he declares was thrown
from the automobile at n point near
Clifton Heights has fallen into the
hands of boy hiker, possibly Boy
Scout.
These were the only DEVELOPMENTS
in the case since the hearing yesterday
OF Joseph A. Ross, Marie Rogers and
Treadway, who were held for the ac.
ton of the coroner. They are accused
of numbering Henry Il. Peirce at 2OO7
Market street.
Detectives Heanlcy and Mulgrcw went
to Baltimore today. Trcadway, Moss
and the girl say they arrived in Balti-
moro about 8 o'clock on the morning
Of November 81, and stayed at house
in Pennsylvania avenue until about :
o'clock that night. The object Of the
detectives is to verify this assertion.
Elliott Is said to have borrowed so
from a taxicab chauffeur in Baltimore
who was an old acquaintance. Detec.
tives have learned that the fugitives had
one meal in restaurant near the
rooming house and that n quarrel de-
vclOped between them and several, men
at another table.
1t was also intimated that brother
of Marion A. Elliot, the third man in
the case and the only one not under
arrest. lives somewhere in Baltimore.
and while there Hcanley and Mulgrcw
will investigate this phase of the case.
1t is now practically certain that
Trcadway threw the broken and useless
revolver from his machine as it sped
over the Baltimore pike past the farm
of Fllwood Dickinson. just south of the
point whore the pike Is bisected by
Bishop avenue. It was opposite this
point the suitcase was found and the
confessions of the men agree the suit
case was hurled from one side of the
car and the revolver from the opposite
side.
Detectives have searched for forty
eight hours for the missing revolver,
but have failed TO find it. Detective
Relshaw believes the useless weapon
has been picked up. possibly by a Boy
Scout, or Il yOungster on a hige through
the country and is now being used as a
plaything or has been thrown aside. He
urges that if anyone in the Clifton
Heights section has found an apparently
useless revolver. on or since November
81. they will immediately communicate
with authorities at City Hall.

Louis H. Mirhol's defense against
charges that he permitted the North

to receive deposits when It was in
solvent. will be that he could not b.
expected to know the accounts were
falsifed.
This defense was indicated today by
John II. X. Scott. attorney for Michel.
in Gross examining witnesses for the
prosecution. The trial is in it's second
dav at City Hall
Two witnesses for the prosecution
today were Philip y. Goldsmith. the
expert accountant who was called in
consultation to untnng'r the bank s
affairs. and Frederick Homsher, In
charge Of the bank for the state bank =
ing commissioner from August o, 1910.

Mr.. Scott sought to show by question =
ing the witnesses that the books had
been falsifed in so elaborate fashion
that the bank president. who Is not an
expert accountant. could not know that
the figures given him by subordinates
were incorrect.
Tell Of Worthless Notes
Much testimony was given as to over i.
drawn accounts and worthless notes
held by the bank as collateral.
Mr.. Goldsmith testified that an ~.

whether this was the defendant. he
answered cautiously that ''hc had the

and produced and identified four of
them for $1,000 each. The checks, the
witness said, were not charged against

notation that they were to be charged
against the joint account of Michel and
Ralph 7. Meyer. These checks had
never been sent back to Michel. the
witness said, but had been found in the
bank.
"A man is not responsible. is he,

SCOUT BABY BOYCOTT
Women Here See No Insurance
AaaInst War In Plan

Prominent Philadelphia women today
branded as practical impossibility the
marriage and baby boycott advocated
BY Mrs. Jesse Mackaye, president of the
Milwaukee Womcn's Pence Society, to
secure the world against future wars.
1t was Mrs. Mackaye's plan that
women remain unmarried or refuse to
bring children into the world until some
means is found to guarantee that these
children be protected for all time against
sacrifice in war.
'It is perfectly preposterouS. was

president Of the Civic Club. 80 ridicu-
ious that 1t becomes an absurdity.'
There are not too many children

zam. Of $50 South Nineteenth street.
land their mere presence here does not
cause wars. The trouble is women do
not take the responsibility Of their
children as they should. Tolstoi in his
diary says. Public opinion is the
strongest thing in the world; stronger
than armies Women control public
opinion, therefore women's influence is
the strongest thing in the world.
"If women would educate their chill
lrcn to respect and obey the law from
her earliest days then there would be
no moro wars.
