Had Marital Troubles. Although Mrs. Powell could not say today that there had been consider- able quarreling among the couple, it was learned that on Monday night, the husband had had a violent quarrel. and sounds emanating from the room would indicate that Evans had chastiged his wife. WasYat Work Yesterday. Workmen at the Roge! block on street where Evans was em- ted today that he came to morning as usual re- Little is ployed, he gquit. Tie claimed to be ill. He returned to the building about 12:40 o'clock, and secured some money from a fellow employe, stating that he had to go to a doctor in Hart- ford. After leaving the building he went in the direction of Main street. Tellow employes of Evans today said that the alleged- murderer seemed to display much affection for his wife. He had been suspicious of his wife and had told a local man that he would shoot any man he found with her. While at the Rogers building yesterday, Evans broke down and wept, claiming that his home had been broken up by his mother-in- law. It is claimed by his associates that Evans was a good provider for his wife and son, and all of his weekly wage was turned over to her. He was a steady worker, of cheerful disposition, aud the only time he was away from his work was the two weeks he spent at the hospital. Police on Alert. The dragnet of the police which was put in operation immediately after the discovery of the crime, has dis- closed some clues that may be the means of an ecarly apprehension of Evans. It was stated this afternoon that Evans was at the depot about 2 o'clock vesterday aftermoon and was particularly anxious to secure infor- mation relative to accommodations that would permit his leaving Hart- fard as soon as possible. He was in- formed ‘that it might aid him if he would go to Berlin. TIn Hartford Javans pawned his watch, and it is be- lieved that tt the only money he possesses that will aid him in his at- tempt to evade capture It is believed that Evans may try to make Canada by the way of Vermont. Little Son Still Sobs. Detective Richardson went to the home of Mrs. Ordner at 111 Columbia treet this morning and talked with the littie son of the couple. The child only sobbed and cried for his “mama and papa,” and gave the.officer no co- herent idea of whether or not he wit- nessed the slaying. ‘Was Once Held Up. On August 16, 1919, Evans, whose right name it was learned this after- noen was Kvanhofi, complained to L:e = three men in Walnut Hill park, but {he holdup men did not secure any booty. Not much credence was placed on Evans' story at the time. He stat- ed at that time that he had recently arrived here from Colorado Springs, lolo. The couple were married in Boulder Springs, Colo., but the exact date of the wedding is not known. Objected to Stage Tife. The appearance of Mrs. Evans be- fore the footlights did not plea husband, who remonstrated with her for s» doing, friends say. Had to Break Trunk. Tt was learned this afternoon from the polico that the trunk containing Mrs. Evans' body had been securely locked by the murderer and it was necessary this morning to pry off the top. In the examination of the room a pair of military trousers were found in a closet. In one of the pockets was found the key to the trunk and a note scrawled in Bulgarian. The bolire are king an effort to have this note translated and it is believed it will throw some light on the affair. How Evans came into possession of the military trousers has not been ac- as he w not in the service during the war, according to AMrs. Powell. His Description, The police have sent out the fol- lowing description of the alleged mur- derer: Age, 26 years; height, inch dark brown eyes dark complexion a dark green suit, overcoat and dark brown speaks in broken English. Decad When Placed in Trunk? Sergeant ichardson. who is handling the case, said this afternoon that indications were that the woman was dead when placed in the trunk In answer to questions of how a woman like Mrs. Evans would be so completely subdued, without making an outery that would attract the at- tention of people living in the house, Sergeant Richardson gave his murderer attacked his victim from the rear, twisting the rope about her neck. and held the body until strangulation had snuffed ut her life. He then, it is assumed, uffed the remains into the trunk. smooth brown shoes; TWO WILLS QUESTIONED. Amecrican One Gives Property Here and Germany One in Old Country.

Senator Fre huysen’s bills which were referred at his request to the in- terstate commerce committeé for hearings, would terminate federal con- trol of the coal indust S Now ex cised under the Lever act.

Appointment of a fed- eral coal commissioner would bé pro- vided with authority to investigate the coal situation and to regulate stor- age. In presenting the bills the New Jer- sey senator charged Director General Hines of the railroad administration with having used “‘ruthless an dillegal methods” in handling the coal situa- ticn and with assumption of powe: which he was not given in the trans- fer of fuel administration authority to his office. | | DEFE CLOS CASE.
