presideDL in hii eptablih the public credit anbo srrial circles currencv on a siablt? foundation: that iiov ncy re There were a numjier of important de velopments in the murder of Dr Horace Eliot Pope which came to light yesterdaj' and the police are convinced that they' will be able to show that the murdered man was the victim of a well planned plot con cocted by Mrs Pope and William Brusseau the young man who drove the hatchet into the unfortunate brain Every detail of the terrible deed had been carefully laid out so as to evade any direct suspicion of murder but as Is generally the case the completion of such dastardly work leaves the murderer almost in a state of collapse and in his almost wild frenzy he forgets to carry out the part so as to avoid detection The police are aware that they are deal ing with two desperate people who have been covering up their tracks but thej' feel that the truth is so far known as to war rant charging both Mrs Pope and Brusseau with murder 'Yesterday morning Sergt Baker and several of the detectives went down to the cell and had another interview with him Brusseau was pale and nervous and lie told about the same story as on the previous day He answered the questions put to him in a dogged way and stopped continually so as to think back and not tell anything differ ent He was again asked about the hat chet but said that he was unable to ac count for it When asked where he got it Brusseau replied that he supposed he had it in his hand At times he became excited but he was stubborn and held to his story He was not forced to answer anj questions but it Is not thought that he will be able to hold out longer under the strain he is naturally subjected to Yesterdaj' afternoon the officers went to Harper hospital to see Mrs Pope who was confined in the strong room so that she hot escaie It was learned that dur ing the night Mrs Pepe had broken the padlock on the door and bad also forcea open a window The attendants were arous eu ana tnougns laiai sue "a Cape but the woman claimed that she only wanted to get some air She was ask ed "whether she desired to something and Mrs Pope answered that on the advice ot her attorneys she did not desire to say anything and would not talk She was then left to herself Her little daughter Bernice was tn her but the officers do not care to questionher An ixnportaDt fact which was proven yes terday is that the murdered man wa struck the hatchet from behind and not from in front The instrument itselt irives ahundant proof of thi? and this cut an important Hruro in the trial Ir 1 Pope was bald in iront of his head and the back half of the blade of the hatchet is thickly covered xvith blood hair ami 'while there is do hair and but little blood on the other half This would tend to show that tbe rear end of the blade must have sunk into the top ot the skull which would not have been possible if the murdered man was struck from in front The condition of the sxull also indicates this as cuts fix the front portion the scalp terminate in a thin line while cl Till 5s all crushed in and broken Into small fragments Two such cuts can be seen plainly and the doctors who have examined the head un hesitatingly say that the man was struck from behind It will be remembered that Brusseau told the story that Pope was up when shot at him auu that he forced him into a chair and struck him svral blows If such had been the case it is peculiar that in his excitement he did not mutilate face which looked calm and peaceful when Rounds man Shlek saw him and there was not a mark on it Anoher point is that the hatchet was found just back of the rocking chair where it had evidently been thrown and the handle was pointed backwards If Brus seau threw it there as he admits he did then he must have been standing bac Pope in order for it to have taken such a Dosiuon Had he been striking him from in front the hatchet would probably have been found somewhere near feet or at least in front of him When Detective Kane reached the house he took a quick survey of the ana noticed that hands were folded in his lap his right hand resting under his left which would go to show that he had drotgied asleep and had placed his hanos Ir a ven natural condition The revolver was found near his left foot where Brusseau claims the murdered man dropped it after the struggle If that be true it is difficult to see how Pope hands became placed so naturally and he did not show anv signs of having struggled with person If he had grasped tbe revolver and shot as Brusseau claims and then dropped jt aftr forced into tbc chair nis hand would have been hanging from his side or he would have grasped Brusseau clothing The latter's apparel was not torn in anv way and body did not show anv evidences that he had suffered any agonv The police contend that a man bent on murdering another would have made a desperate effort to at least save his own life and as Pope was much stronger than Brusseau the latter would have iad some marks to show that he had been in a fight The prisoner admits that the murdered man was much stronger and it" does not seem reasonable that Pope would have allowed another man to kill Him especially' when he was armed with a revolver as Brusseau claims he was The rocking chair upon which Pope was seated also adds proof to the theory estab lished and it is now in the possession of the police On the left side the top and back is covered with bool where it trickled down from head and the nolice claim that Pope was resting his head against the back when he was struck the first blow which effected his death and prevented him from making any move If there had been any' struggle his clothe would have been covered with blood and so would russeau's But there is not one particle or eviuence Had been anv struggle Aeoliee" further claim that afterPcpe had been murdered Brusseau fired ou the revolver so as to have some pretext to fall back upon One of the first things he saad to Roundsman Shick was regarding he shot he claimed was flrerf and he over to the casement and pointed out the bullet hole as though he had it marked When Bernice was questioned she first said that the explosion of a revolver first awak ened her but she afterwards changed the smtement and said that she had heard her faTherpohc? believe that her first statement was true but that she had been rehearsed tell the storv about her swear ing of ar the facts show that he never hS a chance to utter a word not even an opportunRy to beg that his life might be accounts for

indicate that there was anythin' on it that was Marshal Smith of the South Chicago fire department watched the supposed wreck for a long time through a field glass "It was not far out of the he said it could be plainly seer when it rose on the waves Through a glass it had appearance of the black bull of a ves sel and it was surrounded by the ice It looked to me as though the hull was em bodied in a big cake of ice and was float ing with it There appeared to be an ex panse of clear level ice all around is The thing was about eisrht miles out as near as I could judee There were dark objects on it but I could see no s'srn of life and there were no indications that the dark objects were human beings It they were and they were alive they were making no signals and doirg nothing to attract attention from the shore I believe the mass was the hull of a vessel but I would not say that it was the Chicora" A Davenport the keeper of the light house at the mouth of the Calumet watch ed the object for more than an hour but he was unable to say whether it wa the null of a vessel or not He said: the time of the year when the lake is filled with ice it often happens that a mass cf dirty and blackened snow floats by on the lee floe Sometimes snow which is taken from the streets of the city and dumped into the river floats away into lake and on ac count of its darkened color it ean be seen in the lake for many miles What I saw to day may have been the hull of a vessel but for all I could make out it might just as easily have been a mass of this black ened snow floating in the lake I saw no sign of life and nothing that I could see looked like human beings If the tuns in the Calumet had been able to get out at the time the thing was in full view they could have settled the question
