said to have bad their rendezvous.
. Xinred Across Continent,
It Is the belief of Lieutenant Petro-
slnl of the detective bureau that one or
both of the men last seen in the East
Eleventh street flat had lured the vic
tim on from California to rob her of
her jewels. Neighbors say that only a
few days before her death she had ex
hibited diamonds and rings estimated
to te worth izooo.

'Flora" was the name by which the
woman was known In the neighborhood

body lay at the morgue unidentified.
Among others who viewed the remains
was Dr. Rocco Bellontonl of 171 Broome
street. A bottle had been found in
the flat bearing a label upon which was
written tne doctors name. But the
physician could not recall that he had
ever seen the woman before.
Captain Carey, who has charrs of the
investigation, said todayt
"For the reason that this woman had
been dead for perhaps two weeks before

It Is aserted by many of those who
' know the inside history 01 tne inquis

that Andre did not follow up a num
ber of splendid leads that he obtained
In the early examination of Madame
Stelnhell, which, at one time. It seemed,
would result in a complete breakdown
of the star witness.
The "reconstruction of the crime," a
test that is usually applied in cases of
such importance, was not resorted to,
with Madame 8temhell.
The publio is convinced that had the
double murder been re-enacted before
Madame Stelnhell while in her highly
nervous state, the whole truth of the
crime would have come out. . The mur
der of Stelnhell Is believed to have
grown out of his known possesion of
papers and documents that involved
his wife with the late President Faure
and the latter with the famous Drey
fus case. lie also had letters that con
cerned well known adventures of
Madame Steinheil out of which he bad
tried to realise In a financial way.
llAlflS TRIAL IS
COMPLEX TANGLE
Puzzling Problems.
Flushing, I I, Dee. One of the
most complex legal tangles in the his
tory of New Tork Jurisprudence will be
presented to the supreme court here
Monday, when the trial of Thornton
Jenkins Bains for murder In the first
both
degree is called.
ne was
ing of Publisher William E. Annls by
. Aranilnor that he was accessory.
before and after the crime, to the kill-
Captain Peter C Hains, the prosecution
forced his Indictment as a principal. As
soon as court convenes at 1:30 Monday
afternoon John F. Mclntyre, counsel for
T. .Jenkins Hains, will move for the
dismissal of the Indictment - on the
: ground that he was not the principal in
the crime. This motion wu,
be denied.
Because ot the fact that the accom
plice is being tried before his alleged
principal the questions Involved, the at
torneys in the case declare, are all new,
and several novel points are expected to
be raised during the progress of the
trial.
,9efense Will Deny Premeditation.
The defense will be a straight line
disavowal of Intent and denial that T.
Jenkins Hains had anything to do with
: the killing. He and Captain Hains were
at Bayside on. the day of the tragedy,
Attorney Mclntyre will argue. In order
to make a real estate purchase and
neither man knew that Annls was to be
there. --.
Five witnesses have been subpoenaed
by the defense to prove why the
brothers were there. Hains will likely
take the stand in person and tell how
he endeavored to protect his brother
from the spectators who tried to kill
him after' the shooting.
There will be no attempt on the part
of the defense, according to present
plans, to bring Mrs. Captain Hains Into
the case in any way. All that T. Jenkins
Hains' defense will contend will be that
. Captain Hains was insane when he
killed Annis, and that all the defendant
did was to keep the crowd off the
brother until the police arrived.
Should the prosecution, however,
when Hains takes the stand, make him
their witness by asking questions af
fecting Mrs. Hains, it Is likely that T.
. jenKins win welcome the chance to
make whatever charges are wanted
against his brother's wife, and these
will have to stand on the record as he
reiterates them, inasmuch as the de
fense will not ask any questions along
this line.
General Hains Is expected to arrive
here tomorrow. He will atay by his
son during the trial and give him all the
encouragement possible. Every effort
win r maae 10 nurry tne case.
Justice Crane announced today that
. he expected to hold three sessions of
court a day morning, afternoon and
night. He also served notice on the
lawyers mai ne would not permit ex
tended wrangling among them and he
expected to rule sharply on the admissi
bility of certain evidence. He is ex
pected to rule adversely against letting
into the case any long drawn out evi
dence dealing witn lire in the
posts in New Tork harbor.
Attorney Mclntyre stated today that
ne am not snow- wnetner captain Hains
would be a witness at the trial of his
nrotner, out it- is not believed he will
be called, as in his own trial if It ever
comes oti tne aerense wui be insanity:
it is not darned avlsable to place him
on the stand and subject him to a search
ing cross-examination, while his own
lire is at stase.

that the Jury - can be completed ' from

There's a Reaicni"
RECOGIIITII
American Claims for Crea
tion of Another Cardinal
May Be Eealized.
(Unites Pm teued Wire.)
Rome, Dec. 12. Advocates of the cre
ation of another American cardinal pro
fessed to see a hopeful sign in the
postponement of the consistory until
next year, probably in January or March.
Their belief is that the delay was de
cided on to give further time for the
consideration of America's claims.
The American candidates most dis
cussed are Archbishop Farley of New
Tork. Williams of Boston. Oulzlev of
Chicago and Olennon of St. Louis.
In spite or today's hoperul impression,
a majority among the best Informed
clericals in Rome do not think America's
chances good for a cardinal at the com
ing consistory.
Those who are actually slated for the
red hat, according to a high authority,
are Monslgnor Madex Bello, present pa
triach of Lisbon: Monslgnor Oranlto dl
Belmonte, now legate at Vienna, but
whose further stay there Is considered
underslrable; Monslgnor Blsletl, first
maiordomo of the Vatican: Monalrnor
Giustinl. secretary of the congregation
or sacraments, ana consignor lju sural,
assessor to the holy office. Archbishop
.Bourne or Westminster and Father Oas
auet of the abbey of Benedlctlnea era
also favorably mentioned.
