POLICE BEATEN
Ilf B BEITH
What is regarded as the final
gesture of defeat on the. part of
police in finding the slayer of Miss
£*• Emma Kirk, foynd. dead .in her
X’ home, 819 R St. . N. W., January
BE if, will be made this afternoon
a* when an inquest over thebody will
!»- be held at the iSistrict Morgue.
Although the Police ran down
. every possible clue? and took sev*
"f- : era! persons into custody for ques
tionlng, they were utiable to solve
~k the mystery or even. And a motive
L“! for the crime.
Miss Kirk, her hands and ankles
bound with cord, was , found lying
■ °* the floor of her umbrella shop.
*< A scarf had been tied around her
neck > and face. An.autopsy showed
«• she died of strangulation.
Although money and other vahi
& Ables were in cash drawer, a
HE dining room table drawer, and ta
& other parts of the house, none of, it
g- was touched, exploding the theory
85 that robbery had been the motite
K for the crime. . , 5

sul John A. Ray, Caldwell’s predet
cessor at Vladivostok, who In turn
received them from Consul General
Madden Summers prior to the let
ter's death at Moscow in 1918.
Because of the condition of the
country at the time he left his post
at Vladivostok, Ray could not send
the rubles back to Moscow nor
could he transmit them to the
United States Treasury. So he
turned them over to Caldwell, who
put them In the safe pending advice
from the State Department as to

Caldwell tried to get permission
to ‘ use the rubles for current ex
penses or to turn them over to the
Red Cross before their value was
too far gone, but he was ordered
to hold them.
When he was ordered away from
Vladivostok, Caldwell turned them
