VICTIM MADE
NO OUTCRY.

E
1t being evident that PhNhower had
survived the first attack for few min
utes a least before he finally succumbed
under the raining blows Of the sabre
the police were puzzled to understand
why. with his life at stake. the man did
not make an outcry. There was only a
single wall separating the scene OF com
bat from the public lobby Of the Smith
sonian. where were stationed throughout
The night a telephone operator and an
elevator attendant. Tests made showed
that a shout of medium volume from
the Philhower apartment could be dts
tictly heard In the outer hallway. The
attendants were positive they would have
heard any calls for help, or even
single scream Of despair.
One Of the puzzles for the police. therc-
fore, was to determine the character OF
PhilhOwer's murderous guest. and the
circumstances of his visit. Had Phil
hover reason so grave for concealmcnt
Of the presence of his slayer as to pre-
vent him from calling for outside aid
even with death Immediately upon him?
None Of the wounds was in his throat.
The blow that fractured his skull must
have been among the last to fall. a.
indicated by the evidence that he had
fought his slayer long and hard.
To be sure robbery may have been
the sole motive. a diamond ring whose
value must have been close to S1.OOh
was habitually worn by the bachelor
He was fond of displaying and decant-
ing on the projections Of the cut and
quality Of the stone. Very little money
was found in his clothing, whereas It
was known he usually carried large
sums in cash. His fine gold watch and
chain had also been taken.

CCRIME MOTIVE
NOT CLEAR.


But there were at hand heavy solid
silver articles and gold ornaments and
valuable jewelry in a frail desk-which
rad not been taken. Only the body had
been stripped of valuables. The police
were not convinced that the robbery was
not committed with intent to conceal!
another, deeper motive, as suggested by
the savage mistreatment to which Phil
hover had been subjected.
However the case may be, the bache-
lor's murderer entered his rooms unseen
that night and departed unseen. of
course the police made haste to inter
view all persons whom they could trace
as having been associated or in any
manner acquainted with Philhower. They
found that for time his two nephews
had lived with him, but these young
men had been gone many months In war
service. There was a young sailor whom
Philhower had befrended and who had
neen his guest for several days. but this
youth was traced to his ship. and his
presence aboard the night of the murder
was established.
There was found among the dead mans
effects memorandum slip containing
half a dozen names and addresses. Their
owners were traced and vigorously exam
ined, but all satisfied the authorities they
could have no connection with the crime.
Among these was G. Il. Campbell,
butler employed by Miss X. 7. Moore,
of los East Thirty sixth street. Camp
bell said he had met Philhower many
years back at Martins. at Broadway and
Twenty sixth street, then a lively resort.
But he said he had seen the bachelor
only four times in the many years ne
lad known him. He decribed the dead
man as very much Of gentleman" and
added:
HE might unbend to some people, but
he never did much to me. The last time
/ saw him was two weeks ago, when
called on him one evening with a friend
and asked him to witness my will. |

went there one evening nearly two years
ago, when he was entertaining some
friends He asked me in, and we had
cocktails and sandwiches. He never dis
cussed his personal affairs with me, and
I was nothing more than an acquainta-
ance."
BLIND CLUE
FOUND BIZ POLICE.
One other clue the police had which
gave them hope for little while. This
was a bit of cardboard on which was
scrubbed Philhowers address. They
thought at first it might be in the hand
writing of the assassin. but it proved TO
be the writing OF the dead man. 1t
looked as If 1t were a memorandum or
his address, made hastily bat there was
no printing Of any kind on the card

1t is one of the rare cases in history

The commission appears to realize the
immensely of responsibility this situa :
