Smith and Frank Drinkamp, the police early today failed to break thru tho stolid reserve of Mrs. Louise VermUya, al ready under arrest for the murder of Policeman Arthur Blssonettc, and once more they foiled In their attempt to draw from her some Incriminating admissions.

Is recovering very slowly from .two serious collapses which she suffered since entering the Jail. Both sudden Illnesses were sim ilar to that of last Saturday night when under tho very eyes of the.police, she attempted to commit suicide by pour ing poison from the "pepper box of death” Into her food.
