Tessie Miles, colored maid of the Latimer family, who will be an important witness at the inquest to-mor- row into the murder of her employer, is greatly puzzled | by many sirange things about the shooting. her first detailed statement to The Evening World to- day, telling many interesting things that have never be- fore been disclosed. BY TESSIE MILES, ; I saw Mrs, Latimer late last night and she was very neryous and unlike herself. She said to me: “Oh, Tessie, they are now attacking my good name, rage that my honor should be dragwed in Jar shot my hunt cago. He seemed very anxious to have his wife go with him, but she refused, Baying: “No, Bert. You go and have a good time.” Mr. Latimer was in excellent spirits when he returned, but regretted that his friend, W. H. Tuthill, who had promised to meet him there had; not done so. 1 was on my vacation while he was away and do not know what happened during that time. I know that the girl who took my place during that time has been subpoenaed. I was about the first person to wake and get about the house after the shots were fired, and I saw no one leave the house. Mrs, Latimer was ex- cited and nervous, but I cannot see why she pulled the shades down. She has two beautiful children, but she seldom, if ever, took them out with her, T cannot understand how a burglar could have entered the house that night, for I know that no front or rear door was left open.

Women of the Bedford section have taken up the Latimer murder case, They are doing some valuable work for the police, Mrs. Lawrence Ballou, of No. 334 Han- ck street, has called attention to the fact that Latimer's nearest nelgnbvor moved away a few hours after the shooting. Qhis was a tatlor named Dor- fenfeld, whose shop at No, 423 Tomp- Kins avenue, ran back to within fifty feet cf the Latimer home on Hancock street, Only a fence divided the proper- tes. Mrs, Ballou observed that this tailor and his wife and their two children, who lived in the rear of the shop, moved early in the morning after the shooting. No one seems to know where they went. The police have started a search for Dorfenfeld as a witness, believing that he may be able to tell about seeing the aman who entered the Latimer home or ‘© heard something which that he may will be of value to the police.
