 This theory seems perfectly wild to me, but at that 1t is as good as those the detectives give. Goodness knows Sydney Carton would be the last man that would want to steal my pearls and notwithstanding all mother wrote to me about Zoe. ! would trust her again with my ba- bies, which as you know mean moro to mo than any jewels in the world.
 Doesn't 1t seem strange, Ruth, that this thing could have been done in our house with servants sup posedly about and the people who did it could get away? Until now I have always thought that these de- tectiyes were figments of an added brain, but after this I shall have more respect for them. Probably their authors had some sort of basis of fact upon which to write th~a.

NEGRO SUSPECTED
 OF KANE MURDER
Janitor Held by New York Police
 for Girls Killing

New York, June 3 (AP)-Wil- liam Brassfeld, 4S-year-old negro janitor was locked up today charged with homicide in connec- ton with the murder of Miss Flor ence Kane, detectives sister, on a vacant lot in Brooklyn last Friday.
 Brassfield is said to answer the descriptions of negro who attacked two other girls on the same spot prior to the beating and strangling of Miss Kane. He was arrested at the apartment house where he worked a mile and half from the vacant lot.
 Detectives said that he had served time in Sing Sing for attacking a Harlem school teacher and had been released on parole three months ago. They noted especially his long arms as point of resemblance to negro described by two victims.
 Walter Johnson, negro vagrant, has been held several days as a suspect and the possibility of white youth being the slayer has been investigated.
 At funeral services for Miss Kane yesterday the Rev. William J. Cos tello, pastor of St. Matthew's church blamed the city administra- ton for the crime because of in- adequate police.
 "The undertaken should take the crepe from the door of this be- reaved household" Father Costello said, "and place it over the door at City hall"
 Mayor Hylan blamed the priests Ill health and the emotional strain of the funeral for the statement, and said the whole strength of the po- lice department was being used to hunt the murderer.

Letter from Leslie Prescott to Ruth
 Burke, Continued

Burke, Continued
 We turned back from the open window and the sight of the bloody newel post turned our thoughts to zee's absence.
 Simultaneously we both rushed up the stairs, I going in again to 2oe's room and Jack passing on down the hall to syd's.
 It seemed but q moment when we again confronted each other in the hallway.
 "Syd is not there" Jack told me.
 Neither is Zoe" I exclaimed
 And that's all we know about 1t up 10 date, Ruth. l know now that 1t was syd who passed me in the hall but whether he found Zoe at the foot of the stairs or whether he encountered burglar there and 1t was his blood on the post, we do not know.
 The police, of course. arrived and seemed quite up in the air. Jack is furious at them, because they seem to suspect both Zoe and Syd of stealing my pearls.
 Ruth, have not yet dared 10 tell Jack about Zoe, but 1t Is all very mysterious 10 me. Jack says he knows If the burglars had not killed syd and disposed of the body somewhere, he would have heard from him before this.
 Of course, Benson and Dawson, the chauffeur, were questioned very closely and I must say that Daw- son appeared to be very much mixed up. Jacks theory Is that Dawson in some way forced Zoe to open the safe for him and then, knowing that Zoe recognized him, started to carry her toward the automobile hen he encountered Sydney. whom he murdered.
 He is not sure if Zoe Is murdered
