Miss. Clarke is under arrest here, timore, restaurant owner, and with the theft of $32,000 from the West Palm Beach postoffice. Officials who have questioned her, and who have on several occasions listened to “confessions” that she made, only to repudiate them a short time later, believe she may be trying to piece togther a story that will hold water, in order to shield a second man in the case. Many angles of the evidence, they say, points to the existence of this second man, Developments Fast. This is the history of the case in a nutshell: On July 26 it was learned that $32,- 000 had been taken from a registered mail sack at the West Palm Beach postoffice. On ‘Aug. 1, Miss Clarke appeared at the Orlando police station, asking officials to go to a room in the San Juan hotel where she said she had drugged a man implicated in the rob- bery, and locked him up until she could ‘get police help. Police found Miltimore lying dead on the floor of the room, killed. by a j Tevolyer. bullet. A. gun wagon the | floor nearby, together. with' two money | bags, slashed and empty. Tags on jthe bags showed they were’ sent by the First National Bank of West IMITATES DAD “Bill,” son of Wallace Reid, movie See ie 'Cuticura Soap shaves star, is a speedster like his "tather, hero of many a movie ‘automobile race. “Bill” usés a three-wheeler, taq'counts.

When this news was phoned to Chief Vestal, he confronted: Miss Clarke. “Didn't you kill Miltimore, Clarke?” he asked, “No, I didn’t,” she replied. Again he put the question and Miss Clarke hesitated. “Yes, I killed him,” the chief says she then replied, Later the chief, in a public .state- ment, gave this version of the af- fair, as he said Miss Clarke had) told it:to-him: “In 1918, while she was assistant| postmaster at. West. Palm - Beach,| there was a $38,000 shortage dis- covered in the. office. Miss. Clarke said that. although she.never wa3 able to get any proof, she suspected! Miltimore. Both she“and Miltimore aj short time later were candidates for postmaster, and during their candi- dacies $20,000 more in. cancelled maney orders disappeared. This, too, she said she believed Miltimore was responsible for, seeking to discredit her. candidacy. “The $32,000 theft, she explained, was for the purpose of covering up the earlier shortages. She:told me she brought the money sacks and $725 over to the hotel room and sent for Miltimore, to prove to him that.in her desperation she had taken the money involved to straighten up the old ac- Miss The isa One to sign a statement regarding the earlier shortage and that he refused.” Her Memory Fails. Although she once had .told police that she shot Miltimore Miss Clarke told Chief Vestal_on this second oc-! casion that if she shot him she didn’t remember it. “She sqid.she had worried day and| night over the shortage in her, office and that it was difficult for her.to re- call just what did happen” the chief said. “She told me that. she had pur- chased an auto and had recently tak- en out a $30,000 insurance policy, in- tending to drive the auto over a bridge somewhere and kill herself. The in- surance money, she figured, would | square her accounts.” The following day . Chief Vestal | questioned the woman and said she! told him that in a dream the night be-y fore, the hotel room scene had come! back to her, and that she was sure he! would find some. of the missing money} in the bathroom of her hotel room. | Money. Is. Found, | Search revealed $725 in water-soaked | bills hidden ,under: the. float in the} flush tank. The fact that thia flusher, had been in use during the.three days| between the murder and the discovery of the bill, strengthens police belief that they were “planted” atterward b: the second man. This man, they say, might easily have slipped into the room and shot Miss Clarke’ had drugged him and gone for police. Miss Clarke also later directed offi-! cials ‘to a bureau in. her boarding house room where they found $5,700 more in bills, But there is no trace of more than $25,000 that is still missing, TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY WANTED—Competent girl for gen- eral housework.
