Main and High streets shortly after
the killing last Monday night.
This man. the first adult known
to have encountered the slayer face
to face. gave authorities so com-
plete a description of the murderer.
they are certain their search for
him will be aided.
Most striking of the suspect's
physical characteristics is his nose.
It is described as prominent. curved
and with an outstanding “humped"
bridge. lie is of noticeable dark
complexion. thin of features and
slimly indicative of the mystifying
obscourity clouding the entire affair
when it is declared that it is con-
sidered the most important disclosed
after nearly five days of unceaslng,
painstaking investigation. No other
evidence of value is in possession of
authorities.
Monday evening. a few minutes
after Father Dahme was shot down
on Main street. the police informant
was crossing Washington avenue
near St. Augustine's church.
As he strode toward Congress
street. he saw qmsn dart hurriedly
across the north side of that street
to the opposite sidewalk. He was
running falteringly. as if his strength
was nearly spent.
His demeanor struck the witness
as odd. He looked behind the run-
ning man but could see no one in
pursuit. Curiously. he looked down
Pequonnock street. to see if he was
hurrying to catch an Oak street line
street car. None was in sight.
, The witness and Attire. -suepeeted
murderer met at the inlet-section of
attests on
b
Harrison and Congre'se‘
Washington avenue.
Just there. the suspect. his stam—
ina apparently weakening. stubbed
his toe against a slight projection of
the sidewalk. Heretofore. he had
held his head down. as if he desired
to avoid scrutiny. But. to avoid
stumbling he drew himself up quick-
ly. His face was clearly revealed
under a street are light to the wit-
nes whose curiosity was aroused
into peering closely at it.
The suspect's face was drawn and
haggard. as if he was undergoing
mental torment. This particularly
impressed the witness. who told the
police:
“He struck me as being a man
who was in need of a friend Just at
that moment. It seemed to me that
if I had spoken a kind word to him
he would have thrown his arms about
my neck and wept. he looked that
bad.”
The witness. late for an appoint-
ment to attend a theatre perform-
ance, hurried away down Congress
street. The suspect kept running
down Washington avenue.
Michael Noonan. contractor and
builder of St. Joseph’s church. has
deposited with the City National
bank a certified check for 8500 to
be paid as a reward to the person
who causes the capture and convic-
tion of the murderer. Mr. Noonon
declared last night the $500 will re-
main in force for a year.
Added to that is the municipal re-
ward of $1.000. offered in behalf of
the city by Mayor I“. William Beh-
rens. Taking a close. personal in-
terest in the progress of the police
investigation. Mayor .Behrens has
considered the advisability of doub-
ling the reward that close co-opera-
tion may be continued between citi-
zens and police:

first floor as well as the basement of
the building which is owned by the

The visitors at the show room
were particularly interested in the
exposition of gas and electrical ap-
pliances. There were many inter-

of these is an electrical clothes dry-
er.
Another feature of the opening
was the exhibition of two miniature
homes. one of which was arranged
to advertise the correct lighting for
a home. while the other showed in-
correct lighting. Ninety-nine out of
every hundred children who accom-
panied their parents into the show
room expressed a desire to have the
exhibit transferred to their home.
The miniature homes are complete
to the last detail. There is a kitch-
