there was grave and serious doubt
at the present time as to whether the
murderer Will ever be apprehended."
whilo the police detectives and the
sherifrs deputies have not &c
knowiedgcd defeat, they admit the
case Is one Of the most bewndering
ever TO come TO their attention. Eleven
days have passed since the discovery
of tho directors body.
A sample OF some OF the tips sent
the officials Is the following, from a
letter in what seemed woman's
handwriting:
Taylor was killed by fair haired
woman with a hooked nose. Find
that woman and YOU have the
murderer"

"In the early edition Of the Exarnin-
