POLICE HOLD FOUR SUSPECTS Men Arrested Identified by Montana Attorney as Those He Sawin Build. ing—Safe Blowers’ Flat Raided —Two Women in Custody. Chicago, Dec, 21.—Twelve hours. af- ter J. H. Logue, a diamond merchant, had been murdered, in a_ building within 100 feet of State and Madison streets, Chicago’s busiest corner, four suspects were taken into custody. Among them is Claude Stratton, said by the police to be an escaped con- vict from the state prison at Colum- bus, O., and Edward Hampton of Pelican Lake, Wis. The other two are women. The quartette were de-} tained following a telephone “tip’ from a man who said Stratton had threatene| the diamond merchant af- ter a quarrel over the sale of a watch chain several days ago, The finding of a piece of a weman’s | underskirt, at first thought to be a! ribbon, bound around Logue’s mouth and neck as a gag, caused the police to believe that a woman was impli- cated in the crime. Police ‘2re in- vestigating a report that m woman had been a constant visitor on busi- ness to Logue’s office for the last ten | years, being admitted by, a secret | signal, as the diamond dealer con-! stantly feared burglars, and always | kept his door locked, | That Logue’s murderer or murder: | ers tortured him for almost an hour | before finally killing him, was a theory advanced by the police. The seventeen knife wounds, the seared eyeballs and cheeks as a result of the application of acid, the odor of chloro- form on the gag that stifled his cries, and a bullet wound in one shoulder, all gave strength to the theory that one who sought revenge or was pos- sessed of a lust for inflicting slow death, committed the crime. F. A. Carnal, former prosecuting at- torney of Hill county, Montana, gave the police information which resulted in the suspects being detained. $7,000 IN DIAMONDS STOLEN Kansas City Thief Got Family Heir- looms From Woman's Room Dur- ing Daylight.
