At 11 o'clock die culled up the police headquarters, requesting that they send to certain I duces where her husband might possldy lie f mnd. These places were visteil, but Mr. Tuttle was not at any of hem. The next morning the city was rnusneked I'or the missing man?that is, ifter the usual hour for his appearance at his office. That hour came utd the next, ami there were no signs ?f Mr. Tuttle. The day passed withait the slightest trace of him.

The police .ave lilin tip, considering his ease onif the litany In which the subject is iturdered and the body successfully ;ot away with.
