Not A Clue So Far

MiXNEAPOLiS, Dcc. 6.- ïho (loep rny-itery that surrounds the iclcntity of Catherine Ging's murderous companion in her evening drive is apparently as Impenetrable ii s over. It is certain that this panton was hor murderer, but thus tav there is saarcely the shadow of a clew to j liis identity. But öne man has turned up I who ever aaw the murdcivr. This is Mountcd Officer Getchell, and his was but a flooting glimpso of the face In the moonlight. Ho siiw the two in a buggy I reling violently. The '.nan he descritos as thin of face and with a dark heavy musfcache. More he could not soe. He claims that he looked sliarply at the rig as it j pasfied and positivoly Identifled it as the fioosuian rig which Miss Ging hired and which came back to the stable empty and bloodsoakerl. l';il cliim; liits of Paper Togethur. There is just yno other clue froni which soinothing inay yct be learned. This is the note Miss Ging rocoived in the morning, and which, after reading sho tore into small bits. Her waste basket is now in the hands of the pólice, who are making an effort to piece tlie various bits of paper found there togethor. Apparently there aro scveral notes. Ono signed "R" seems to ask her to meet a f riend f rom St. Louis. This Initial ;t once called to iuind i ick I. Reed, of St. Paul, manager of the Golden store. Raed, it is alleged, i wbï oiice engagBü to Miss Ging, and gave her a diamond engagoment ring, the ono whieh was f mnd in a small chamois bag beside her oorsage. For some reason tho engagement vras broken moro than a year ago. Reed has a thiu face and a heavy dark mustache. Kfcd Provea a Clear Alibi. But he provcs that he was at work in the store all tho eveing with his clerks. Harry Hayward, her landlord, had loaned her a largo sum of money, and he was put undcr surveillance, but this has been stopped, a fact which is taken to mean that they havo given up any theory connocting him with the murder. Froderick Reed declared that he had nover been gaged to Miss Ging, but wíis simply hor friend. He had not seen hor for six months. He dcclared his willingness to come over from St. Paul at any time and teil the pólice all ho knew of hor. The pólice have not yet summoned him, and apparently ('o not take any stock in any theory that conneets him with the affair. ïhe authoritios are apparently completely at sea.
