. o'clock in the afternoon OF the day
Mrs. Bartlett was beaten 10 death.
Tho county authorities still declare

Who committed the crime.
Frederick Seabury, brother-in-law
Of Mrs. Bartlett to-day made a thor
ough inspection of her late home and
verified the report Of yesterday that
two valuable diamond earrings, set
with stones of a carat each OF good
quality. which she was known to pos
sess. were missing. Also he found
no trace OF q gold watch and brace
let and Mrs. Bartletts wedding ring.
which she constantly wore.
He said that the watch was made
up Of old works recently set in a new
case. and he was not sure whether the
case or the ring bore his sister In
laws initials.
Practically all the clues found at
the start have failed. There are new
ones. however. that may lead to some
thing. One Is part of n pair Of
trousers found on n barbed wire fence
less than mile from the scene OF
the murder. The cloth answers the
description of that in the trousers
worn by the stranger seen in front
Of the house before the murder.
Another possible clue consists OF
Two women's capcs found in a vacant
house zoo yards from the Bartlett
home. A window had been broken
and some person had been using the
capes as a bed. An effort will be
made to-day to learn whether the
capes were stolen from Mrs. Bart
lett.
GEEK INFORMATION FROM IN.
SANE ASYLUMS.
Authorities are so certain the muir
der was committed by a mailman that
District Attorney Weeks has asked
eli the asylums for the insane on
Long Island to report whether any
inmates had escaped. None has been
.oported at large so far.
Close inquiry is being made into
Mrs. Bartletts affairs with a view 70
getting further light on possible
motives for her murder. There are
fifteen rooms in the house and detec-
iuxuriously furnished. The linen on
the ten beds indicated it had been
placed less than twenty four hours
before Mrs. Bartletts death.
For years she had lived alone, and
n Is a mystery why she kept ten
beds ready for occupany.
A careful study OF the body lying
In Cornell's .Morgue In Hampstead. oy
County Physician A. d. jacques.
showed yesterday that the womdn's
nails had been bent back during the
struggle as she clawed at the faco OF
her assailant to fight him of. Tho
two negro women say the man they
encoultered on the lonely pathway in
the woAds the same night bore terri
flying aspect, with deep scratches on
his face extending from his temples
to the open neck Of his dirty flannel
shirt.
Neighbors told detectives more to-
day OF seeing tall, vicious looking
man In rough clothes hanging about
the Bartlett home. He was first seen
by Mrs. Patrick Mccarthy. who lives
opposite the Bartlett house. about
$50 o'clock. and half an hour later
she saw him through the trees
standing on the porch Of the Bartlett
house. Other witnesses saw him as
late as noon sitting on a bench near
the car line 100 yards from the
house. 1t was apparent that after
his FIRST visit of reconnaissance. in
which he posed as a prospective pur-
chaser of the house, he hung about
waiting for the hour to come when
he should return and attack the lone
woman.
A woman, whose name has not yet
been revealed by the police. told them
to-day that, on Monday last at II
o'clock in the morning she was walk
ing down a road at West Hampstead
when she was accosted by rough
looking man in light trousers and
dark SLOUGH hat, who asked her the
names of occupants OF neighborins
houses, particularly the number OF
persons III the respective families
When she replied that she did moi
know. he swore at her and went or
his way.
