Doctor Schott's Office, with View
Through the Doorway, Into the
Rear Room, Where the
Tragedy Occurred.

In other poison pen" cases 1t is often
the girls fiance who does her violence
in his rage over some real or fancied blot
on her purity. But in this case such a
possibility is eliminated. Captain Jordan
was on duty at Camp Zachary Taylor
throughout the day>of the tragedy, and his
grief and mystification over the death OF
his brideto-be are too genuine to admit or
a suspicion that he knows anything to
explain it.
doctors office is place of secrets. Is
1t possible that the pretty assistant had
come into possession of some bit Of infor-
nation which a patient deemed vital to
his or her happiness and that this sup.
piled the motive for the murder?
It is hard to understand why the person
who put Elizabeth Griffith in possession Of
the poison pen" clipping should have felt
1t necessary to commit murder. IL this
man or woman did the shooting perhaps
It was accidental-the weapon having been
aimed only with the intention Of frighten-
ing the distracted girl into acceding to
still further demands.
More probable than this is the theory
that Elizabeth Griffith-a high-spirited,
courageous girl, as all her friends say
snatched the weapon from the doctors
table and welded II first herself in an
effort to force her tormentor to cease the
threats to go to her sweetheart with the
stories OF her past. A struggle followed
and the weapon was wrested from Eliza
beth's hands. She fell to her knees 20
plead for mercy, but her prayers went un-
Needed, for a mad rage at this unexpected
show OF resistance nerved the hand that
now held the automatic.
The trigger was pressed, the muzzle spat

connected with his relations to Ellzaoetn
Griffith which are hard to understand.
Since the tragedy, for example, It has been
said that during the period of their en-
gagement he employed detective to
shadow her whenever she was not with
him. And a girl friend has said that eliza.
beth used to say that she was afraid OF
the doctor, but that still she could not
fesist continuing TO work for him.
