March 18.--=A new clue in the Kinrade case was investi- gated, this morning. Mrs, King, 164 Markland street, saw a strange man walk to the kitchen door of her neighbor, Mrs. Arthur Taylor, about four o'cleck, on the afternoon He rapped at the door to get in, but failed, Mrs. Mrs. King saw the stranger, who ap- peared to considerably frightened and watchful, place something on the steps, and then put the object back in his pocket. He then ran away. Later Mrs. King heard of the mur- der and the Taylor family searched under the kitchen steps in the hope of finding the revolver, They found nothing. The only reason advanggl to connect this man with the murder is that he came from the alley which runs back of the Kinrade home. In some respects he answers the de- scription of the man furnished by Florence Kinrade be A Clué At Buffalo. A Niagara Falls, N.Y., special says: "Canadian detectives were in the city yesterday in search of a young man who is believed to be able to throw some light on the murder of Ethel Kinrade in Hamilton. He was not located, however. It is understood that he was on intimate terms with both Ethel and Florence Kinrade be- fore the tragedy, and had several times been at their home, calling on the younger sister. What further con- nection he had with the case or what his name is could not be learned. However, it understood that the man so much wanted by the Canadi- an authorities at present was a rail- road employee, and that he is now in Bufialo." Here's A New Theory.
