VENGEANCE AND NOT ROBBERY MAY 'EXPLAIN MURDER yaneouven B. C Aug. 18 -(U. ,, p,) Despite the fact that rings and '. moineyi in the possession of , Mrs. Aim Bampson at the time of her death have disappeared, the police and her husband, Charles Sampson, do wot believe that robbery was the motive of her murder early yester- day morning at her room in the Cas- : tie hotel. Two men, William Coleman and Fred Saunders, are held by the police; in con nection with' the case That Saunders is detained elm ply for investigation, wai admitted bj the police last night. -Cole mart im i booked on an open . charge. H U about 35 years of age and was, for eight years g policeman in Edmonton. He was-arrested late yesterday afternoon and! denied that he even had heard that Mrs, Sampson was dead. -' Coleman lived at the West hotel. Saun- deri had a ; room at the Castle, but ap pears to have been out of town Monday. When he returned yesterday ' he at- tempted! to get into communication with ;,Mrs, Sampson and it was he who gave 1- the )alarm of her death. : --1 Charles Sampson, husband of the dead woman,! was met by police officers at ' the railway station on the arrival of Tuesday's Seattle train, on which he wast employed aa a brakemanj "It was revenge," he exclaimed. "He threatened her and me, Ue said he would do the same to , her aa he did to ; Blaache at Seattle." Sam peon did not indicate at that time to whom be referred, although he later made a i full statement to the police. One important detail Js lacking in the police case. They have not as yet dis covered Ithe instrument with which the woman was struck down. The gaping wound on the top of her head indicates that! it was a weapon of some weight and; was used with great force.1 ! Care ful search of the room and the hotel re- vealed nothing to verify the first sup position that the Mow had been struck , with a bottle. . - Sampson and his wife had been living apart for six months, though they fre quently met and were on . fairly good ., tierniB. i He saw her here on Monday and is certain - that she carried considerable -money. j. i-'kv-:";.
