In view of the almost Inevitable con. elusion , that It - is a oase of ' murder. there were certain obvious things which should have been done bv the nolloa. The first step, and one Invariably taken by trained detectives was to-examine every person who might In any war be connected with the tragedy and t re duce his or her testimony to 'writing. The Importance of securing this record of tha statements of Innocent witnesses wnue tne racts are still fresh In their recollection cannot be overstated. . The Importance of a statement bv.chs annr- derer, before he has had time to man- nracture- nis derense, la supreme.

When asked where they , were living the. detectives . confessed their Ignorance.. One of these sleuths- wss asked whether It would have been pos sible for the ginger ale to have - been poisoned In Van Dran's saloon, and he replied: '(' ''' " '- k- ."J., -w.-'. - "I am sure I don't know.

Dran's death It might, have afforded a clue which would have narrowed the Held of Inquiry-so closely as to render de tection of the criminal almost certain. Prominent physicians, skilled In toxl cology say that within 21 hours at most after the cyanide of potassium was placed In the bottle the ginger ale would have changed . color. If, therefore, tha ginger ae still : retained Its .natural coor ah. hour or 'two after Mrs. Van Dran's death It wduld be well nigh con clusive evidence that the poison had been placed In the bottle, some time that day. And since Mrs,' Van Dran was at bom all of Saturday, until I o clock In the' evening, when she went out walk ing, with her. stater, the .. probability would be atronarthat It was In her ab sence that the poisoned liquid was placed la th bottle. , Tet neither the coroner nor th de tectives -seem to have realised th lm porta nc pf ascertaining the color of the ginger ale on that Saturday night. and the only, authentic Information on this point dates from the Sunday even ing following, 24 hours' after the crime, whea the . ginger- al wea.. chemically tested by Dr. Parker and Dr. Equl. , TXOtmaVrho" Tsar nar t Four months ago Kaapar Van Dran was shot five. times in .hlsownaloon by Joe Young, proprietor .of .-another saloon half a block distant.
