Perhaps the dismembered bodies or Eloise and Beatrice N'elms of Atlanta. Ga.. were disposed of In El Paso after meir muruer in ,u .fiuiunio. Discovery has been made ln San An tonio that leads to the belief that the two women were killed in a house there at lie Wllkens avenue, and the police there have unearthed po-tions of a human vertebrae burlod In the rear of the house Further Investigations are being made. The house in the rear of which the discoveries have been made was occu pied by Victor E. Innis and wire, who are being sought by the police of two states in connection with the disap pearance of the two girls. Proof that the Xelms girls arrived and were taken to the Wilkens ave nue house was obtained in San An tonio, says the Express of that city when it was learned that two grips belonging to the young women were delivered at the house on the morning of June 15. Mrs. Wilson, who resides next door, says that she saw a young woman answering the description of Beatrice in the back yard on the morn ing of the 15th. She also says that that night she ntara several unusual noises, particu larly some hammering, and was unable to sleep because of the activity In the house. The hammering is accounted for by the presence of nails above the windows of the house. Heavy canvas and comforts had ben tacked in front of the windows and behind the blinds on the rear porch. One small opening In a curtain was found covered with conrtplaster. Annie Alexander, who cooked for Innes and wife when they first took the place, sajs that on the morning of June 10 she called at the place and Innes would not allow her to come up on the back porch, but talked to her through the screen. Nothing belonging to the Inneses was left in the house excepting a large quantity of wood alcohol, considerable cleaning compound and some bromo seltzer. One Extra Trnnt. On June II three trunks Instead of the two which Innes brought to the house when they moved in. were taken to the San Antonio railroad station and checked to El Paso. One of the trunks weighed ISO pounds. It cost more than J In excess baggage to send the trunk. The whereabouts of the trunk Is a mjstery. but it is thoueht that It has been hauled to the outskirts of El Paso and destroyed or thrown into the Rio Grande. A Mexican is reported to have hauled the trunk from the station in El Paso to the river. An ef fort Is being made here to trace the trunk. The trunks were checked on two tickets purchased by Innes: one to Se- I attle, Tvaslt, and the other to Portland, Ore It Is the theory that while Innes was taking the trunks to El Paso Mrs. Innes went to Houston June II and sent the telegram which stated that Elolse and Beatrice were to stay an other week ln that city. Beatrice was to have returned to Atlanta to look after some pressing business matters that day. Starting West. On June 16 a telegram was sent from New Orleans. It stated that "We have arrived: are leaving for the West" It also was signed Elolse and Beatrice On June 18 Mr. and Mrs. Innes sur rendered possession of the "Wilkens street home and departed for the west.
