Sixteen-Year-Old Girl States That
Sister Told Her to Leave
Her House.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, June 11,—Six men have
been arrested In connection with the
murder of Mrs. Alice Klnnan on the
plaasa of the Stanton mansion at 1414
Washington avenue, and the police de
clare that before nightfall at least one
other |>erson will be In custody.
There te no official pretense, how
ever, that tpe mystery Is any nearer
eolullon than It waa when the victim
wan found while breathing her last.
Each fact that has been brought to
light ao far haa tended only to dlecredlt
some previously ascertained circum
stance or to upaet some carefully de
veloped theory of the Investtgatore.
Seldom have the detectives of New
York been forced to confess themselves
so utterly hopeleealy helpless. Seldom
lute expert unulytls proved so futile
and Ineffective.
No substantial motive hae been es
tablished. Detective Sergeant Price, In
charge of the Bronx detective bureau,
announced today that the hueband of
the murdered woman had been located
and that within a tew houra he would
be communicated with directly.
"But," said Price, “we will not take
him Into custody. There Is n<t evidence
that he la implicated In this strange
cue. He may be able, however, to tell
ua facta that may guide us to the
slayer.”
Sergeant McOapley, of the Bronx de-
tactive force, declared today that Mrs.
Ktnnan had a quarrel a week ago In a
cafe with a man prominent In the Ital
ian colony adjacent to the old Stanton
homestead.
This man’s Identity la known and he
will be arrested today.
The six men arrested on suspicion
are Italians who live In the neighbor'
hood.

brother-in-law of the pretty runaway.
The trial haa been set dor 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning before Judge Puck

When teen Monday morning In the
matron’s ward, the glri denied that her
aweetheart had anything to do with
causing her to leave’home. On the
contrary, she said, the young man had
tried to dissuade her from running
away. The glri wears a picture of
young Coetley In her breastpin.
"I ran nway from home last Wednes
day of my own accord,” aald Mlss.Ooas.
"Mr. Coatley had nothing whatever to
do with my leaving home. I had met
Mlaa Collli at my homo on a previous
occasion and I at once went to her
house. I left home simply because
have not been treated right. - My ale
ter, Etta, wife of Marion Hayes, or
dered me to leave home, telling me I
was not wanted there. I have been
working In the mill and Wednesday
when I left home, I told mother I was
going to the mill to get my money. Bhe
told me she hoped I would not return
and 1 didn't. I telephoned Mr. Coatley
Wednesday night and he came to see
me. He came again Thursday and then
last night. On each visit he cried and
begged me to return home.”
Coatley tells substantially the same
story as the girl. He says she told him
the night before alp left home she In
tended to run away, and that he then
Insisted that she change her mind.

TURNED DOWN PATRICK
Special to The Georgian.
Chattanooga, Tsnn, Jun* 11.—The
tragic death of Mr*. Charles T. Price
at her'home here from grief because
her husband, who was a laborer, waa
driven out of the city by debt, appeals
to the human sympathies and Is one of
the great sacrifices. The poor woman's
husband was In hiding In a town near
by trying to earn money to afford his
wife and two children with the bare
necessities of life. But hie efforts In
this respect seem to have been In vain,
for his poor wife died of a broken
heart In abject poverty after twine
were bom to her. A letter which the
poor husband wrote hla wife recently,
which strikes the sympathetic chord of
the sympathetic, has been found,
reads In part as follows:
“Dear Llssle—I am working and will
send for you aa soon as you are able
to come to me. Keep this to yourself
and tell no one. Keep the bill man off.
Tell him to be easy and he will get hla
money. Love to the'dear little chit
dren, and God bless you all.”
But that letter did not save Ms poor
wife. The Salvation Army buried the
remains and tjie poor husband's heart
Is broken with grief.
