STILL TALKED ABOUT.
That James hair clipping case still
causes no end of speculation In this
part of the city and many and heated
are the arguments about It. There are
a large number who believe the irlii's
story while others are firmly con-
You
v I Ha
New
Pair
of
Jl clil LS
vlnced that It Is a case along the lines
of the famous one Of Cndet Whltaker,
Chief Robllng nnd Detective Dyer are
still on the trull with a lock of the
young woman's hair and a grim xloter
mlnutlon to 11 ml the man who clipped
off the lirulri' concealed about, their per
sons. T,he- cldet has taken the matter
very scilously. nnd between ills efforts
to locate, the culprit nnd keeli The Trib
une from finding out what the police
are doing about tho enso he Is rapidly
losing his peace of mind. He Is as un-;
successful In olu case as he Is In the
other. Detective Dyer denies that the I
man he arrested Friday night was only
live feet 111 height. Ho was live feet
icven Inches, snys Mr. Dyor, and as
the prisoner was not measured wo give
the detective the benefit of the doubt.
Anyway the seven Inches more or less
that there was of him does not matter
for he was not the light man. As a
finale to the mystery of the stolen lochs
It Is interestlni; to know just how the
police cot their "description" of the
"fiend." A mnn named Capwell keeps
a store near the James residence nnd
on the afternoon the outrage was said
to have been perpetrated three ugents
elite! cd the store and left two vullses.
Several hotlis afterward the men le
turned and while Mr. Cupwell was nb.
sent they took their baggage and dis
appeared. Mr. Capwell told the police
olllcers of the visit, describing In detail
the man "who had no collar nnd tie
and wore patent leather shoes." Mrs.
James had also heard of this descrip
tion from Mr. Capwell and when the
police olllcers questioned her she simply
repealed It, not taking the trouble to
explain where she jjot It. The coinci
dence threw the olllcers off the right
track and "Jack the hair clipper" Is
still a free man.
