The officers are particularly anxi- ous to establish whether Fernandez was the man whom Mrs, R. H. Suttle, Sr., mother-inlaw of the sirl, says came to her door early on the morning of the murder and asked to see Elsie. A corner’s inquest will be held at Colorado Springs this afternoon. Discovery df evidences of burglary in the home of Fred Floeger on the Happy Canon road between Colorado Springs and Denver, has given rise to the belief that the slayer of Mrs. Suttle may have fled from Colorado Springs to Denver, and looted the house in search of cldthing to re Place blood-stained garments. An outfit of clothing and a bar of soap were the only articles missing fram the burglarized home. Forty ‘dollars in cast. tying on a table in off of the rooms was left untouch- ed by the intruder. Finger prints left on window pane are to be photographed by au- thorities in the hope that they might lead to a solution of the indentity of the slayer. The skein of events in Denver leading up to the slaying apparent- ly became more entangled today as pollee here continued their inyesti- gation of circumstances surrounding the identity of friends of the girl | bride here. Conflicting reports were obtained by authorities as to the date when the girl was last seen here, and considerable confusion surrounded reports of the movement of Fernan- dez.

The éxplosion was caused by a blast of wind forcing the hot gasee in the bore of the big guns after a salvo. As the breeches were swung open after the discharge, the gases were forced through the guns and into the ammunition and shell piles nearby, overheating and detonating them. That disaster led to a change fn turret construction fn the United States navy and the introduction of the gas ejecter, which sends « swirl of alr through the bore of the gua after a discharge, clearing out: all gases so that they cannot come out through the breech opening.
