Mrs. V., D. Ashford. who conducts n
rooming house at 2040 Walnut street;
her daughter. Miss Crystal Ashford, and
a roomer whose name has net been
divulged.
Story Contradicted
It was under the names of Fred and
Marie West thnt Treadwav and the girl
rented the room en Walnut street a
wejk age. In their statement concern
ing the happenings of the night of the
murder, they said they had been te a
motion -picture show en Saturday night,
arriving home nueut 11 :.10.
That is contradicted by Mrs. Ash
ford. her daughter, and the man
boarder, who spent most of the evening
iu the front parlor.
"About 10 o'clock a man came te the
deer and asked for Mr. West," said the
roomer yesterday. "He was a squarc
faced, heavy -set fellow, rather tough
looking. He were a dark coat with a
brown fur lellar and had en a tweed
hat or cap."
That description tallies exactly with
that of Smith or Kendrlek, as given by
Treadway, Marie Phillips nnd also by
merchants of Wheeling.
"Miss Crystal Ashford went up
stairs nnd rapped en West's deer, but
there was ue response," continued the
roomer. "The man then went away.
He had visited W st here before.
"About 10:30 West came back nlene.
We were sitting In the pnrler and heard
n rattle at tne rrent deer. Thinking
it might be rowdies, I went te the

A Wheeling bearding house has been

ward nil four left the house with their
luggage.
Treadway and the girl found humble
lodgings en Main street, for they had
scarcely nny money. Smith anil his
companion immediately took the train
for Stcubcnville, O.
Wheeling detectives have trarcd them
te Steubenvllle. and have learned that
they took another train te East Liver
pool, Ohie, where the trail was lest.
The detectives believe many addi
tional details will be learned when
detectives bring Pelrce's car home,
doubling back ever the trail the fugl
thes followed. They expect also te get
much aid from the public Interest taken
in the case. Already several useful bits
of evidence hnvc been volunteered by
responsible persons.
The latest of these confirms the story
told by the prisoners thnt there were
four In the flight. The detectives re
ceived word from a Media man yes
terday that he had helped fix the mud
guard of a big Pathfinder car, cerrylng
four persons, early Sunday morning.
This was one of the incidents described
In the confession.
GIRL IN MURDER CASE
REFUSES ALL FOOD
Marie Phillips, the "girl in the Pelrce
murder case," has refused all feed since
she was placed In Central police station
Thanksgiving evening. Her laughter
Isn't se frequent and her flippancy Is
waning.
"She isn't disagreeable about the
feed," said Police Matren Cooper today.
"She simply pushes It aside snjlng she
Isn't hungry. While she refuses te ad
mit that she Is tired or worried, I think
she is weakening nnd feeling the sig
nificance, of her recent actions.
"Last night when I went into her
cell te see if she needed nn thing before
going te bed, she lay with her head
buried In the pillow, sobbing. When I
nsked her if she were sick she sat up
quickly, tears streaming down her fnce.
and said, 'Oh, no. I feel fine. I'm all
right.'
Quiet In Her Cell
"She has been very quiet in her cell
and hasn't once called te Treadway,
whose cell Is just across from here. She
has net mentioned the crime te me or
anything about her past life.
"When she first came In she laugh
ingly said she had never expected te
have such n wonderful reception In
Philadelphia. 'Why. Bread Street Sta
tion was simply packed with people
wanting te see me. nnd City Hall was
" bnd.' she said."
Marie spent most of the merninir in
her cell, lying en her nnrrew bed and
looking ever magazines. Ne newspapers
have been allowed te reach her or
Treadway since they came te Philadel
phia. Once when a detective passed
he asked. "Hew was the climate In Vir
ginia. Marie?" Instantly the answer
flashed : "Oh, pretty geed. I didn't find
he much het air there ns in Philadel
phia." Thy te Recall Olrl
Marie Phillips, or Williams, or Ress,
or Steele or almost any ether name
you cheese te call her, mav have been
plain Ilertha Snyder, of Mnrgarctvllle,
New Yerk, at one time In her short life.
Mnrgaretvllle folk tried te recall
the girl today from newspaper descrip
tions. The town is forty -six miles
from Kingsten. New Yerk, In the Cats,
kill mountains, and mere noted for
natural beauty than jazz and cabarets.
Frem the description of the girl, the
people of Margnrctvllle thought she
might be Ilerthn Snyder, whose parents
died when she was a baby, and who
lived for n while, they said, with u
Mrs. Iluth Francisce, wife of Jehn
Francisce, n railroad man, at May May
brenk. The townspeople knew little about
the girl. They understood she had
gene from Maybrook te New Yerk about
two years age.
Seme of these partlculers seem te
agree, nt least In part, with the meager
details of her past life which the girl
Is willing te give. She said thnt she
hnd been orphaned when n child, hnd
gene te New Yerk with a Mrs. Morisco,
who kept her for n time, and hnd been
a few j ears In high school.
MRS. PEIRCE DEFENDS
MEMORY OF HUSBAND
Mrs. Henry T. Pelrce, of Fert Wash
ington, nnld tribute today te the. mem
I. ', t, t r
nrv of """ husbind. who was found
, . , .r.i-,. . i,i r, f eait
murdered Monday in his office at 2007
Market street.
In a statement Issued te the news
papers she said ;
''Having passed through the most in
tinse period of shock following the un
fortunate death of my husband. I feel
able nnd I consider It a duty te my
children te set aright the public mind
In regard te certain rumors as te his
habit of living.
"While every one knows the heart
ache thnt even the most peaceful death
brings te the loved ones of the deceased,
few can realize the cruelty inflicted by
the absolutely unfounded repertH that
have been circulated following the
death of this faithful husband nnd
father.
"Anv one who knew my husband In
his home knows hew different he was
from thn picture painted in the unreund
ed reports of him.
"As a father he was kind ns a father
could be, sharing In the pleasuies and
trifling worries of our five boys, lie
was their confidant and their cemnrin-
len. Their betterment was hU fltn
work. Only two days before his
timely death he remarked te me; 'I
hope te live te see nil the boys through
college.'
"Ah the mother of these happy,
hearty boys, my whole time, of course,
has been devoted te their welfare. I
thank Oed for giving me n husband
whose first Interest in life was the
welfare of his family. I trust the Di
vine Master will be geed in giving me
the strength te carry en in our chil
dren's behalf ns he planned.
"The nnsty rumors relating te my
husband's alleged unfaithfulness are the
most bitter of nil. I can only say they
are absolutely untrue. My husband
was a home man In the fullest meaning
of the term. If he hnd been the type of
man which some persons hnve pictured
him, thi; fact would have been inade
known te me long before his death.
"I wish also te express the highest
respect for Miss Alice Kurtz, who se
faithfully assisted Mr. Pelrce In Ills of
fice. Her kindnesses te me en countless
occasions have wen by lasting friend
ship nnd appreciation."

te nonmandatery powers. This com
mission will be composed of represent
atives of five nonmandatery powers and
four of the mandatory states.
Yesterday's action was a confirma
tion of the decision taken nt the Hms
sels session of the council. The decision
has been fought by the British since It
was announced. They obtained a re
consideration of the question, but again
were outvoted.
Optimists nt the" meeting of the ns
sembly are counting upon finishing the
work of the session next week, or ten
days earlier than was calculated bv
league officials. This hope is based
m the fact that committees numbers one
and two have virtually finished their
work, the International court Is out
of the way and the armaments question
has been disposed of by a practical ad
journment. The principle relative te
the admission of new members has also
been decided upon.
Czecho-Slevnk delegates are new fur

mission of Austria te the league. Switz

with the proviso, however, thnt If reac
tion occurs In Austria, with a restora
tion of the monarchy, she will Insist
upon the right of the province of Vernl
berg te decide whether te remain a part
of Austria or net.
Committee number four finally has
approved the comparatively high sal

State officials here waited today for
President Wilsen's reply te the gover

Minge region under martial law. In
asking that the zone be placed under
military law, the governor said the
Minge authorities believed the soldiers
could control the situation without mar
tial law, but that he did net concur In
this view.
A strike of coal miners has been In

months. Frequent disorders occurred
