having pretended to pay him, and kill
ing him secretly, he could tuck the
$1,000 away somewhere, and when the
new note came due, pay II off and be
rid of all his troubles.
HE evolved very clever scheme.
He was about the same build as
O'Brien, and figured that he could easiy
disguise himself to answer OBrien's s
description. So he made appointment
with the salesman to call and get his
money.
"Dittcbaum lived alone in large
house, 10 which also he had complete
laboratory. On the night In question
he allowed his single servant to go out.
O'Brien called. Dittebaum enticed him
to the laboratory and there poisoned
him. He removed all the clothes from
the body and destroyed the latter in u
tank Of acid. Then he neutralized tie
acid so II wouldn't corrode the pipes
and drained O'Brien out Of the road.
He put on O'Brien's clothes, and
with some slight changes In his ap-
pearance, walked boldly out. He waved
greetings in O'Brien's breezy fashion to
two or three people he passed in the
dusk, and went into town. He got a
suitcase containing clothes of his own
which he had previously checked at the
station, and went to hotel, where he
registered as O'Brien. Then he went
to his room, changed clothes. put
O'Brlcn's In the suitcase. and slipped
out, returning home and destroying
both the bag and the salesman's clothes.

band, but under the urging of the sheriff that there are several myste- r1ous phases, District Attorney Kelly has taken personal charge of the in Quiry.
 Mrs. Hemming revealed today that John G. Hemn1ing of New York, the brokers son by a previous marriage, had barred her from her husbands S funeral.
 In, explaining his demand for fur ther inquiry Sheriff Kelly said that Mrs. Hemming knew about the care takers intention to kill lher husband if the latter should try to force his way into her home.
 District Attorney Kelly expressed satisfaction with the course of his as sistant, saying that there was no req son for an arrest and that it had not been shown that Mrs. Hemming knew her husband was to be killed.
 My theory is that the double kill ing was the' act of a crazy man." he added, but if any new facts are de- veloped I shall take action"

ENGLISH PRESS
 SHY ON COMMENT

London, July 1S-In view of the secretiveness of all those principally concerned in the Irish negotiations, this mornings editorial comment generally is cautious in referring to the outlook, but some writers venture the belief that any definite outcome is not to be expected for some time yet, and intimate that Sim F'ein leaders are not inclined to hasten the deliberations
 The Daily Mail, indicating it's belief that the negotiations are 1ikey to be protracted, says DeValera has hinted he will have to return to Dublin this week to consult the Irish Republican parliament after hearing from Prem fer Lloyd George a final exposition of the governments attitude, and that he will be unable to meet Sir James Craig, the Ulster leader, until after such a consultation.
 Citing another reason for delay, the same writer says that a special treas ury department report has been or dered on certain financial aspects to those already discussed and adds should any definite developments de- pend upon such a report they must necessarily await it's completion which would consume considerable time.
 In some quarters, however, there are warnings against over sanguine- ness because of the many serious diff f1culties which yet remain to be sur mounted. Another reason for these less optimistic expressions is found in a dispatch from the Herald's Dublin correspondent who says that Irish Republican army training and equip ping operations, which are not for bidden by the recent armistice, are proceeding vigorously so that should the London negotiations fail, every thing will be in readiness to resume the field.

WOMAN WHO GOT TAR COAT
 NOW IN JAIL

Center, Tex. July 1S-Mrs. Beu- lah Johnson, who was tarred and suffered the clipping of some of her locks by hands of masked men at Tenaha Saturday night, was in jail here today held for the next grand jury on a charge of bigamy. She was out on bond and was surrender ed by bondsmen after the tarring.
 Sheriff J.. N. Smith said the women told him the masked men gave her no instructions when she was freed on the streets of Tenaha but asked her several questions about a man she knew.
 According to information in hands of Sheriff Smith. Mrs Johnson had been married three times. the first husband being deceased while the other two are still living. The third marriage, Sheriff Smith said, took place within the past s months.
 Dallas, Tex, July 1S-The tarring Tex, is the first time a woman has been the victim in a score Or more similar acts recently in Texas and other Southwest states. The secrecy of the perpetrators has usually kept hidden even the exact motive of the attacks, although they have gener- ally seemed to be, so far as could be learned, for moral reasons.
 In the larger number of cases the raiding squads have been disguised in white caps or uniforms similar to those of the ku kluX k1an in the South, in the Reconstruction days. There have been no indications, how ever, that branches of the new Ku Klux K1an, which are said to have been organized in considerable num- bers in Texas recently, have been concerned in these events.
 The similarity of the methods and the reported causes of the tarrings have been the only indication of concerted action by an organized se- rnf Tr were apparently no attempts to avoid publicity although the groups form ed and dispersed quietly.
 In none of the cases which have come to light so far, has any action been reported by city, county Or state officials, for the apprehension of the raiders. The tarrlng of Mrs John son, which resulted in her return to jail by her bondsmen on a bigamy charge, is the first case so far re- ported in which the tarrings have come to the official notice of the au- thorities.

NO INCREASE AT
 BILLIARD PLANT

Eumors of sudden activity in the near future at the plant of the Bull lard Machine & Tool company on Brewster street, have proved to be nothing but idle talk, apparently the product of an optomist with a vivid imagination.
 Statements purporting to be from authoritative sources gave the 1nfor- nation that the Bu1lard plant would start next week on full time with a considerable force to make parts for a new model Ford motor, to have six cylinders. The report was denied in it's entirety yesterday afternoon by Edward c. Bullard, who stated that he was indeed sorry he would not confirm the rumor, but that if the Ford people were going to again tackle a six cylinder machine, it was the first he had heard of it.
 The Bu1lard plant is operating, but only with a skeleton organization, just enough people being employed to make daily shipments. Bullard does occur until September, but does. be Heve the outlook at the present time to be a little more encouraging and that by September a gradual increase in 1ndutrial activity will be in order.
 The Ford people years ago, about 1908, did make a heavy seven pas senger machine with a six cylinder motor. But few of them were manu- factured and shortly after this the entire energy of the Detroit factory was turned to the light serviceabie and cheaper cars that have proven so popular. However, occasionally the rumor comes to the surface that the six cylinder f1ivver is again to come to life.

GAS CURE FOR
 STOWAWAYS

New York, July 1S.-The gas cure for transatlantic stowaways was des- cribed today by Captain Marcentelh of the stean . lip. Providence, who said it had proved effective in rid ding him of thirty-nine dead head passengers to the United States
 Suspecting that a number of stowz awayS had board the Providence at Marseilles and desiring to get them off at Naples before the steamer started on it's long voyage, Captani MarcentelH ordered his boatswain to call all hands on deck. The call brought forth no stowaways, but a moment later when the captain in structed the boatswain to add that the ship was about to be fumigated and everybody below decks would be killed.

PROTECT ALL BUT OPERATORS

Paris, July 1S.-X-ray laboratories have been found to constitute but slight if any danger to persons in ad- jacent rooms. A report to the Acad- emy of Medicine held that modern appliances and conditions generally existing in x-ray rooms sufficiently protect all but the operators.
 The report was prepared by a com mission after recent reports to the Academy that x-rays were a serious menace to. people in buildings hous- inge la.boratoris. It was contended the rays would penetrate walls with force enough left to cause serious in jury. This contention was found by the com mission to be iHfounded.
