Hamilton, Ont., Feb. 24.—It will |be three years tomorrow since the murder of Ethel Kinrade furnished Hamilton with the greatest sensation of the kind in its history and added to the criminal annuals a mystery that the best detective talent in Am- erica has failed to unravel. Ithel Kinrade, the daughter of an eminently respectable family, was slain in broad daylight in her par- ents’ home in the fashionable section of this city. Her sister Florence, the only eye-witness of the tragedy, from the first declared that the mur- derer was a tramp. Though the act appeared incredibly brutal and au- dacious and the motive inadequate, that version was at first accepted by the authorities. Then discrepancies in Florence Kinrade’s story appeared. | The actions of her family were inex- plicable. The tramp story was soon discredited and discarded. The police inquiry, while it failed to find any trace of the murderer, brought to light a remarkable con- dition of affairs in the Kinrade fam- ily. The investigation showed that Florence Kinrade, of attractive ap- pearance and fond of a gay life, was the pet of the household, while the other daughter, the slain one, was the family drudge. Tlorence was a concert hall singer and a frequenter of gay summer resorts, while Ethel remained at home and did the work. While the others lived in comfort, even luxury, Ethel Kinrade was giv- en a mere closet for a bedroom and a bunk in which to rest. At the preliminary hearing Flor- ence Kinrade was subjected to the severest cross-evamination, but her |story of the tramp remained unshak-| jen and the other members of the family refused to throw any light on the crime. 'From time to time there have been rumors of possible | arrests and only a few weeks ago it i | was reported that the case was to be | re-opened and that a famous private | detective had discovered a clue to the murderer. But so far as any- thing is known now the mystery is membered for many years as the most baffling and absorbingly inter- jesting eriminal case in the records of Canadian crimes. i The necropolis at Bahrein, the cen- work in the world. with | of Puccinrsi‘ | ipears to be dividing the votes with GORDON, LEE AND EBERHART SPLIT Pioneer Ballotts Indicate That State May Ezpect Three Cornered Fight STANTON LEADS DEMOCRATS Bemidji Man Makes Good Showing; On Early Votes—Lind Run- ning Second LA FOLLETTE COMING STRONG | Appears As Second in Nearly All Cases Where Roosevelt or Taft Are First First Second Roosevelt B 7 | La Follette .. . 8 15 Wilson 7 4 : Taft; & o0 s 6 4 i Cummins 1 0 | Bryan .. 0 1 i Underwood 0 1 Gordon ..... 9 6 Eberhart ..

As will be seen, Roosevelt; appears to be the most popular; choice but is pushed hard by La Fol- lette. ' A peculiarity of the votes cast for Roosevelt or' Wilson carries La Follette as second choice and those cast for La Follette carry Roosevelt or Taft as second choice. As Wilson is running as a Democrat, it appears that the people see but little difference between a progres- sive Democrat and a progressive Re- publican. In the state contest, Gordon ap- Lee as where either is first choice, the other is usually second. Eber- hart appears getting about one-third of the votes, with Judge Stanton but a little behind and leading the Dem- ocrats. One vote cast had the following written on it: “First choice Theo- dore Roosevelt, the man of the peo- ple, by the people and for the peo- ple; second choice, Robert La Fol- lette. Taft out of the question here in the northwest because of recipro- city and at outs with the farmers. Otherwise all right. For governor; first choice, Adolph Ebehart, a safe and sane business administration all the time. Down with the slanderers of Minnesota’s fair name.” In some quarters it is learned that there is a hesitancy about signing the ballots. Voters are assurred that the ballots are seen by no one but the editor and will be destroyed as soon as the results have been pub- lished. The information is regarded as strictly confidential. Further re- sults will be printed Monday.

Y., February 24, 1842, He was: educated in the public schools, but never attended college. Later, however, his exper- iences as a printer, soldier, mer- chant and journalist, gave him that mental poise that made him a suc- cessful author. For many years he ‘was on the editorial staff of one of the prominent New York newspa- pers.
