The police are again in search of the William Coleman, former chief Of detectives in Edmonton, reported to be the husband of Blanche Cole- man, brutally killed in Seattle in 3916, and @ habitue of underworld resorts, Coleman, accoriing to Charlies Sampson, has figured actively in the struggle for a home and respecta- bility waged by Mrs, Sampson with her husband's aid. “My wife came to me after T got her to leave Coleman and come back to me, and said that he had threat- ened her life,” Sampson testified. “You will get the same as Blanche got,’ is what she says he told her.

Each time he passed the en- trance of the building, unguarded, he looked out on Yesler way and wished he were looking in, instead of out. But he subdued the temptation. Yesterday, Frank passed the door and looked out more longingly than usual. He glanced both ways down the hall, saw no one watching, and stepped out the door. Search was being made for Evans Friday. He was serving a 30-day sentence for begging and was arrest- ed at Third ave. and Cherry st. by Sergeant M. D. Pence August 16. Evans is 54 years old.
