That ws ths laat I aw of her until today." . Afraid of Mailt. Whrn aaked If Mii-a Rummelhart had aver expreaacd any fear of walking home alone In the evening, Mlaa Anderson said: "No, ahe never had, a she had been alone In the evenings ao often. When he left my home h always walked up Twenty-flfth atreet to the Merrlam horel, on the corner of Twenty-fifth and Dodge street, and there turned west to Twenty sixth street and walked north from there to her hom at Twenty-alxth atreet and Capitol avenue. When she got to the cor ner of Twenty-Mxth Vid Dodge streets, where she wsa struck lent night, shs sl wa; walked In the middle of the road, pre ferring that to running the risk of an as aault on the sidewalk, which Ja heavily shaded on that street by treea." Ml Anderenti was asked If ahe could poeMbly imagine a motive for the aault and ahe esid she ojM think of none, ss Mlaa Rummelhart had no enemie that she knew of. It waa suggested that rob bery may have been the aesailant'a motive, hut Mir. Anderson aald: "I do not believe that this could poaalhly have becnthe motive, a my friend was very plainly dreel and had no pocketbook or purae with her Paturday night. In fact, ahe did not even carry enough money ror cur fare: as ahe always walked both ways whn coming to see me." ' ' ' Mlaa llolnesa Statement. The president of 'the Hcandlnavlan Young; Women'a Chrlatlan soclstlon, Maria Hnlne. aald: "Mlaa Rummelhart hsd' lived In our dor mitory for over a year snd wss often out in the evening, but Invsrlably returned home before 11 o'clock. Her actions were ! never questioned by me. as she was woman of mature age and waa the pos sessor of an Irreproachable character. Sat urday n!ght she csme home from work, as j usual, and we all had supper together, Miss Rummelhart finishing about :S0 and going to her room. Tht waa the last time I any of us saw her until I went to the 'coroner's office this afternoon. When Os car Oleen told me of the resemblance of the woman at the morgue to Mlaa Rummel hart I could not believe it waa she, and after aearchlng her room I called up Miss Anderson, with the result you know." When Miss Anderaon and Mies Holneas positively Identified Mips Rummelhart at the coroner's office the unfortunate woman's brother, Joseph A. Rdmmelhart, waa Immediately notified by telephone and hurried at once to verify the news and was heartbroktn when told by Miss An derson of the death of hla sister. lie waa unable to view the body, as Dr. W. R. Lavender was then holding an autopsy. , Brother la Prostrated. Mr., Rummelhart Is .the only brother of the murdered women and works In the stationery store at 1607 Farnam street. lie wss completely prestrsted when he heard the news. When requested tor a brief statement, ha said: "My sinter had lived with me at tny home. Til North Forty-flret struct, until about four years ago, when he found mat my home war too far away from her place of work, a I Kelley's. She hsd been employed as a sea.matrcs by mis linn lot more than seven years and was an expert shlrtmaker. For the last year she bad boon living at the Scandinavian Young Women's Christian association, which waa com paratively close to her work. I have sevn her often since then and she spent much of her lime at my home. The laat time I saw her alive was lt Friday afternoon, when she cams to my store about noon and stayed a few minutes. We went to lunch together at a nearby restaurant and then shs returned to her work, but I ex pected to see her again this evening, when she was to come to my house. She was 40 years of age and had lived the greater portion of her life in Omaha, whero ahe haa many friends, although she had no Inclination tor society beyond her tew in timate friends and relatives. Our father and mother died several years ago, but We have telegraphed all our other relatives. I am her only, brother, but she has a sis ter, Mrs. Rasmus Hansen, living at St. Louis, and two other slaters, Mrs. John Kura and Mrs. Frank Neider, who reside at Iowa City. Her sisters have all been uo lifted of her doath , and probably will come to Omaha Immediately." Funeral arrangements have not been def initely decided upon, aa an Inquest will be held, and Mr, Kummelhart said he j could not say where ths body would be burled until after consultation with other members of the family, wlie are expected to arrive In the city tonight. . All tslce and Detectives y. ' The entire polke ami detective force are working on the case and Chief of Police Donahue and Chief of Detectives Bavag went to ths scene of the murder early fun day morning and personally assisted In the work. The fslse Identification of ths Vic tim by Charles Ward delayed ths police for several hours as this inlxtake of Ward's put them entirely Off the scent and they bad te make a fresh start when Mies Wsrd turned up ssfc snd solind. When Miss Rummelhart ' was positively Identified Sunday sfter noon tho news was quickly telephoned Into headquarters snd' Chief Donahue and the entire detective force were, soon on .1 he scene to inter view Miss Anderson and Miss Holnesa to discover, if possible, some motive for the fiendish crime. Chief Donahue, Chief a( Detectives Savage and soveral of the other detectives hsd a lengthy Interview with ths two women who had msds the identi fication, upon the conclusion of which Chler Donahue aald: Abaalately Use "W have absolutely no clue at ths pre. ent tins as to the perpotratur of this alrcclous crime. Mlaa Andrson and Miss Jloliies told us unreservedly of the asso ciates and habits of ths murdered woman, who seems to have been of au exceptionally high moral charartei. f bcltvve 1 can safely y that robbery was not the mo tive for the crime and I believe It Is putely a caae of a brutal assault for crim inal purposes. .The entire police force has been railed out to work on ths esse sod find a clue If possible. The whole day force, both detectives and offioars. will reniaiu on duty Sunday night, but at pres ent we hava little to work upon and the chances of an Immediate, sslution. ef the niystery and capture ef the perpetrator are quite remote. However, we are running down every clue that gtxea promise of giving us any information snd aa.ststir-c? ahalivei,' but this Is one nf ths hsidtst police esses It has ever been my lot te lie engaged In." It la the theory of several of the of cera that the crime was committed by a negro and that Mb Rummelhart wss criminally assaulted by ths brute In the ward at the rear of the house where she wa found and that the unspeakable crltaa followed the death blow. The po lice are working op this theory snd sev eral colored men of doubtful reputation were carefully cross queatloned by the de tectives Sunday afternoon and evening. ' Dlaeovery f the Roa. The body waa found by W. B. Hughes, secretary of the Nebraska Bankers' as soclatlon, and Paul I. owe at a time which Paul I.owe s m6ther says was 10 H. Mr. t Hughes tells the story of the discovery thue: 'It wss around ln:?n atnl I was sitting reading in bed, having taken off my clothes and rttlred for the night. The window waa open 1 heard a strnnge sound that disturbed me and as I lay down my book and listened closely I recognised It aa faint moaning, like the sound made by some ahlmsl In distres. I sroee ant raised the curtnln and put my head fro.n the window. The iiionn became more dis tinct ami feeling sure that some horse or cat or norne other animal was sick en the back end of the lots, I put on my clothe, j ! When I got outdoors I found the sound j came from the rear of J. F. Towes house, j which I separated by one lot from where ! I !fe. . t "I Went to the door nnd called young lyiw, who cante downstair and went to the rear with me barefooted and In his night clothes. Aa we were about to en ter the barn we heard the moan to our right end aw soWhlng lying In a low place near a bunch of rubbish. We ap proached very carefully, for we yet thought II was an animal. - x Revoltlns; siatM Before Them. "It was a Woman, Mng with her skirts turned over her head and In a pool of blood. We pulled the clothing down and found the head terribly manned and blood All over the face snd clothing. 'It's a case of murder." I said to Iowe. and told him to atay with the wotnnn Until I cam bick. "I ran to my house, told my sister what It was and told her to telephone to the doctors and the police station. Then I came bsck to Lowe. "We tried in vain to get her to speak. We raised her head snd found It had been lying on a broken brick, which, when we examined It later, gave all the appear ance of ' having been used to crush her ' hesd. ' ! "Thinking that the telephone calls might miscarry. 1 t0'd Lowe to hurry over to Dr. Ralph's and get him. Just sfter he left she made a struggle and finally raised : heref on lir elbow until her head rested on her arm and hand. It was but a mo ment and She fell back. After that I never saw her make a movement -except when she seemed to try to talk. Two Doctors aait Masr Others. "Dr. J. B. Ralph and Dr. W. O. Henry came together In a short time, for It seems Dr. Hnry had been calling at the other physician's house. By that time a dosen or more people were there. In fact, I had been left hut a moment alone with the woman after Lowe left. "After the doctors came we carried her out of the low place to the walk at the back of the house. It wss then that the gash In her throat waa found. We asked her questions and told her to shake or nod her head In reply, but we got no response from her. There was a constant gurgling In her throat and her lips kept moving. I thought they tried to frame the word. 'I'm murdered.' It was not very long un til the patrol wagon came and we put her In It. "The detectives and several other peo ple got "amp and lanterns and began to examine the ground all around the neigh borhood and I went back to bed." ras)l Lowe's Version. "ft was the first Saturday night In two years that I had been home." said Paul Lowe, "and It was the first 'night this fall I had closed my window. If my win dow hnd been open I might have heard It before Mr. Hughes, as my window Is so much closer the spot where she was found than his. I "Hughes called me and I went dawn In ; my pyjamas. My mother told me after- warda ahe looked at the clock as I left the house and It waa ten minutes to U. I thought as Hughes did. , that It was ej iiuren ur euiue uinifr animal ana i waa en tirely unprepared for the sight of a hu man body In blood. "We telephoned for the officers and I dressed and got the doctors, and when "they came we moved her to where we could get a better light on her face. It might have been imagination, but Mr. Hughes and I both thought ahe tried to say 'I'm murdered.' "When we looked cvey the ground. with lanterns we docl ied she t id been dragged from a tree in our front yard. Just to One aide of the hotia. t'nder the tree I found a waist and a man's handkerchief, both with spots of blood on them, and a side comb. Near by waa a paper which looked aa though It mights have been used aa a wrapper for the waist." Telephone to Police. . As soon as possible after the discovery of the body a telephone call was sent to. the police station and the patrol wagon responded with Kmetgency Ohicer Mc Carthy and Patrolmen Rlnn and Lalu-y. Dra. Henry and Ralph administered emergency measures after which the woman waa taken to the Omaha General hospital In a patrol Wagon. With Captain Dunn In command the j officers made a thorough search ef the streets and alleys ror a distance of sev eral blocks from the scene of tho mur der, with the hope of finding a possible clue in the way of a knife or other In strument. Lanterns were obtained aud a palnstsklng search niada of the ground between the house of Mr. Lowe aud the adjoining house, but with little success. With daylight a pine stick about three feet long and nearly an inch thick waa found. It was spotted with blood at ene end and had hanging to It a long dark hair. It was not on the lot where ths body wss found, but lay en the opposite side of Dodge street and on ths eaat side of Twenty-sixth, dlstsnt from the spot of the discovery of the body by almost the entire length of. a full lot and the width of Dodge street. Blood Sidewalk. ' -s .On the brick sidewalk about two. feel from 4he slick was found a pool of dried blood about four Inches In diameter and seversi spatters of blood Were discovered between that poool and ths edge of the sidewalk. Drops of blood leading across the street toward the Lowe house- were found. All these circumstances proved that the attack was made on the north aide, of Dodge and not onNhe lot on the south aide of , the street, where the body waa found, as ' waa the su post lion Saturday night. Spots of blood were few in the street, but on ths graaa and dirt along the length ef the LoWe yard they could be easily traced In the daylight. The dstalla of the scene bear evidence te ths fact that the woman was struck on the bead with a club at the telephone pole, carried across the street and then dragged to the rear of the lot. where her throat wss ! cut. 1 t rrl... far f ar.

Don C. Love, a ,. y attorney of this city, gave the second Sunday morning address In All Soul's Unitarian church this morn tng. In which he advocated that the rich should be compelled to perform three hours' manual labor each day. He said that if a young man should find a large amount of money and thus be able to pay for what he gets, he Is nevertheless no more" useful to society than a mendicant who begs at the door. The speaker urgud that women who have a dosen more dresses than they need are guilty of waste. He said that three hours of labor for each person dally would mean the banishment of toll and drudgery Jrom the earth. This Ideal condition, he believed, could be brought about, not necessarily by means of new lawa, but by public sentiment. There Is only one way to help humanity, he said, and that la by helping them to correct thinking, and If the people would think clearly on this subject, and therefore cease to honor the rich as tbey now do, but despise the Idle rich. It would rid the world of this ono evil at least. Of the professional men and hla plan of performing manual labcr. he said: "If you each do your share then there will not bs too much for any one. It you do your shara It will not leave you one whit less able to teach and lo preach, to compose a poem or paint a picture, rather more able tb do So, while If you do not do your share and your neighbor does Jhe work for two, he becomea a drudge and beast of burden with do formed body and stuned soul. Under that system there would be, say, ono poet and one drudge. Under the system I propose there would be two poets, per haps, but at leaat no drudge." Plana for Reaabllca Campaign. The preparations of the republican stats Committee for. the campaign are progress ing sstlsfactOiily and several big meetings have been arranged. Governor Cummins of Iowa will speak October 17 at Columbus, Platte county, which Is the banner demo cratic county In the state, and the republi cans Inland to make an onalaught on ths stronghold. Governor Cummins will be accompanied there by George C Sheldon, republican candidate for governor.

Wilcox of tlubbel. the republican nominee for the same position, and the democrats at this late day wll be obliged to select a new candidate.
