replied:
mo, I didn't see any finger prints
on them"
Meanwhile the townspeople had
fnawed and paved over them until 1t
was impossible to tell which were
fresh finger prints and which were
not.
Transforming their way through
some of Virginia's most renowned jails,
Miss Knox and Sastlake today find
themselves we'll on schedule in their
itinerary Of one-night stands.
In Five Jails to Date.
No less than five municipal or
county hostelries have given shelter
to Miss Knox and Eastlake since they
became guests of the State on the day

The five public institutions which
have offered hospitality to the STAY

which might easily be carried off on

Safe From Violence.
Well for the strangers who made
their exit from an afternoon train
from Fredericksburg yesterday. as II
Is, they may mark time languidly In
the substantial. surroundings in which
they find themselves and feel secure
with the world, at least until the few
brief weeks before the time OF their
trials has passed.
Today they are catching their
breath. as It were, following three
swift escapes from scenes unfamiliar
to them and desirable to a very little
extent. OF one thing they are sure,
their globe-trotting is over for the
nonce, and they may begin to settle
down and be comfortable, both in
body and in soul.
Meanwhile one or the other or both
Miss Knox or Eastlake are momentar-
lily expected to break their almost con-
tinuous silence as far as trying to en-
tighten the authorities on the crime.
The investigators belive they know as
much as the prisoners. and on at
least two occasions, q confession from
one or the other has been apparent.
Two hours before the train bring
ing them from Fredericksburg left
that place yesterday, Eastlake told
Detective T. K. Boulwer that he
would make a complete confession in
which ne would accuse Miss Knox

Miss Knox told Eastlake, at which
he hung his head and waxed silent.
THAT boy doesn't know any more
about that crime than I do" Miss
Knox then told tho detective who
almost restorted to third degree
methods to wiring out a breakdown"
from Eastlake and the woman. But
they seem to have a pretty strong
case against me-" she added.
The Richmond detective has learn

established that a definite theory for
the crime and believes that q double
motive was present; that Of jealousy

He has brought out that Eastlake
owed Miss Knox $3.50, and that Mrs.
Eastlake, the dead woman, owed the
nurse $780,
Toler has confronted them with
letters from Miss Knox accusing
Eastlake Of throwing her over for his

Knox went to Colonial Beach after
an absence since last June, to force
Eastlake to make a showdown as
