DETECTIVES HUNTING FOR A CLEW,. , The Woman's Skull Was Fractured, Her | Jawbone Broken, Her Left Ear Almost Severed from the Head and Her Left Arm Bore Bruises Indicative of a Strug- gle, Blood Satarating Bed and Ulothing, | | Washington, Dec, 10.—Mrs. Ada Gil- | bert Dennis, a fashionable dressmak- ‘er, was found in an almost dying con- dition in her room at five a, m. Tues- day under circumstances that prom- ise to rival the Bonine murder case, Her skull was factured, jaw bone broken and left ear almost severed from the head, Her left arm bore brufses indicative of a struggle and her~ctothing-and-bedding--was~satue rated with blood. She was removed to the hospital and a large force of . | detectives put on the case, The name of her gssailant is unknown, The general belief is that Mrs, Dennis was attacked while asleep in her back room on the first floor and that the first blow, in all probability administered with the piano stool, which was sineared with blood, ren- dered her unconscious. ‘The prelim: inary investigation by the police fail to indicate that there was any strug- gle. Mrs. Dennis, in a conscious mo- ment while being carried to the hos- pital, said that some one had “hurt” her, but when pressed for details merely responded “never mind.” Rob- bery apparently was not the motive for the crime, for on the table at the foot of the bed was a small box con- taining a pocket-book well filled with greenbacks and other coin. There was a bloody imprint of a hand on the piano lid in the parlor and a win- dow in that room was open, It is sup- posed the assailant escaped through this window. When found Mrs. Den- nis was clad in her night garments and was in bed under the cover, Mrs. Dennis is about 47 years old and is one of the best-known women in busi- ness here. She is the widow of Wal- THE OPTIMISTIC KITCHENER. By Advancing the Line of Biockhouses He Says He Can Carry Out Systematic. Operations Against Boers.
