Buffalo, Sept. 17.--Evidenee do- ve:1°11bn winch may link, in the most starting manner, two of the appalling crimes of the year -the murder of Dr. Jacob F. Meyer and tlte killing of Miss Ethel _Monello Dingle. A circumstantial connection between the parties is already ea- tabblehed. It the corroberative ten- temone now under export investiga- teon proves wirat it eimulatos to es- tablish, a motite will be supplied for the murder of Dr. Meyer and a cor- responding motive furnished tor the death of Ethel B. DIngle. For months the criminal authori- tees have puzzied their brains to as- cribe to Mrs, Meyer, now committed to the Buffalo State Hospital an a raving maniac, a pausIble and suf.i- Omit motive which might induce her to slay her husband. All that could be eistabliehed, up to time time the facts relating to thee horrible death of Ethel B. Dingle came to light, wos that Dr. Meyer and his wife vol- untarily separated in April last, and that subsequent to the eeparao eon the doctor etopped the credit which his wife ivas enjoying at his expense at certain stores. Obvious - this was regarded as an insuffi- cient motive for murder. All other attempts .to prove a motive At that time it was not known that Ethel -Blanche Dingic and Dr. Ja- cob He Meyer were intimately no- quaisated ; that Mies Dingle nursed many cases for Dr. Meyer and that Dr. Meyer wee assoalated in prac- tice with another, Dr. Geage H. Grant, to wnom Miss Dingle was en- gaged to be married. IfIngitgod to Dr. (amnia. About three years ago a young Scotehman named George IL Grant acting as an interne at the River- side Hospital, took an excep- tionally- deep Interest in Miss Din- gle. Grant was regarded as one of the most competent internee ever employel On the hospital staff, and the only trooble lie liaO with the other inmates ef the Institution war; over this nurse. Early last year it wee reportei that Grant an I Miss Dingle were engage.1 to 'be married. Grant Iiad griglunted with high honors, and had opened an office at No. 09:3 William street, near the East nut - fate Live Stock Exchange, where he Was faVOrel with a growing and iterative practice. Something, known only to the in- tereetea parties, caused an en. trangement between Dr. Graneand Liss Dingle last November. Gueuses tave been made without number, ut nothing' nave than surmise in nowt' regarding the catim of the reeking' of the engagenteut Still t was broken, ana Dr. Grant said tat his marrying the girl was out rf the question.

Rochester, Sept, 18. -At the con- clusion of yesterday afternoon's hearing in the inquest as to the death of Ethel Bianehe Dingle, an, adjournment was mede until Friday me 2 o'clock, wheni it is expected the most interesting testimony of the hearing Will be brought out. Important evidence was given yes- terday afternoon by Dr. John H. Aithieon, wbo treated Ethel Dingle at St. lifareee Hospital, this city, from Auguet 26th to September lind. The girl weer, there under the name or Mies Greeley. ahe was worried and depressed and tpid Dr. Atchison that ofteu thought of taking her life to end her troublefa Kent had been a, College mate of Dr, Atchison, and brought Miss Dingle to him for treat- ment. Dr, A. N. johnson, coroner:so/ley- eician, described minutely the condi- tions found on his autopsy and gave the cause a death as hemorrhage frau severance of common carotid artery. Tito cut in the throat was three and a half inchee long by one inch -wide. TOursday, Smtember 11-th, pro- mises to be an important date in the case. That le the date of the itileged unprovoked assault upon Dr. George H. Grant, to whom Ethel was engaged to be married. That le the date upon whice a quarrel took place between Ethel and Lel- and D. Kent, lter lover, at the home of Mrs. John N. Hutchinson, No. 485 Aiagara retreat, Buffalo, where they stopped for a couple of weeks est man and wife. That was the date upon winkle apparently, Kent was iinancially embaerassed, and pawned his gold watch and fob chain for $27 with George L. Pratt in Buffalo. Evidence of the latter fact was ad- duced at the afternoon, session of the inquest when the pawn ticket, to widen Kent referred to in his in - (thereat ravings, was produced. The board at ;the Hutchineon house, where the couple passed as Mr. and l'erre. Crosby, was bet puke with any part of this monce so raleed for Kent, in one of hie ante-mortem let- ters, asked his father to settle this bill, The Rocbester police authorities have interpreted one letter signed "E. B. Dingle," but believed to have been 'written by Kent, as follows, the doubtful parts being in paren- thesis: "September '14, 1902. "Dr. Randale-My has+ been a (allure, duo to your (plain) Ile to my (ses)ters. I have worked (haird for you and (them) many years, I don't (regr)et it, as I have learned greiat deal. But (you) hear (,) be (truthful,) you will gain a great deal more. I am about to die, and thenking of tee many years served in your (hospital) I am unable to die without forgiving you. "Good-bye. From "E. B. Nagle. "Rochester, N. Y." --- Rochester, Sept. 19. -It le the pre- valent opinion among those who have been met closely in touch with the investigation of the Whit- comb House tragedy that, unless evidence Is produced at the inqueet to -day to offset the eestimony given on Wednesday, Leland Dar Kent will be held for the Grand Jury on ti charge of having mur- dered, Ethel Blanche Dingle. Kent's friends insist, of course, that he is innocent of murder and that the girl committed suleide af- ter attempting to kill the medical stadent, and they hope that Ketit's Attorney, George Raines, will be able to make that plain when the inquest is continued. The session was to begin at 2 o'clock Vile afternoon. Among the witnesses who have been summon- ed to testify are Mr. and Mrs. Van Alien- and Mr. and Mrs. John Hutch- inson. 'Kent and Miss Dingle lived with the Hutchinsons as Mr, and Mrs. Drodby and they have a later written by Kent which bears on the intention of the couple to kill themselves.

When Miss Dingle worked at the pay station of the Bell Telphone Company in the summer of 1901, she was persuaded to pose nor photographs, represent- ing her talking into a telephone both with her lips at the transmit- ter and at a distance from it. Subsequently these appeared in the telephone book in the form of half -tones labeled respectively, "The Right Way" and 'The Wrong Way." Miss Dingle at once put in a claim Of S1,000 to the Bell Tailbone Com- pany for the use of her picture. She claimed it was published without her consent. Her claim wan denied, and she lout her position also. Then she brought sult for $10,000 a,gainat the company for injury to her reputa- tion in publishing her picture wth- out her consent. The summons were served upon the president of the company, and his legal eepresen- tative took charge of IL The result was that the suit was settled and ease Dingle signed a release for $50. • Baize°, Sept. 22e -Dr.' George.

This afternoon he wal take the witness stand before Coroner Kisindienst and swear that he did not roin Mitre Dingle, nor by word or deed do anything that drove her to despondency or suicide. He will fortify and corroborate this testi- mony with more than 200 love let- ters from the dead girl, many of them written during the present year, The production of these let- ters and the testimony of their re- cipient 'will, it is claimed, fully ex- onerate Dr. Grant from the awful charges contained in the ante-mor- tem missivee found in the ream where time tragedy occurred. Tibe clefeiosures made yesterday in the case, coincident with the re - tarn of Dr Grant, are very import- ant. Dr, Grant returned to Buffalo on Saturday night at 0.15 o'clock, his face Aid hearing evidence of the causes which prompted him to leave the city and ref rain f rom showing hie face to his patients. He was at home to many callers at his street of flee yesterday af ter - noon, where he was served with a subpoena 'to appear Ms morning at. Roohester and produce eamples of Ethel B.

He wilt swear that hever suggested belf-destruotion, but, to the contrary, was of a minty disposition and. would be the last person in the world to commit suicide, oven if sho threatened te do mob a rash act. Dr. Grant explained the dads() of his 'unfortunate absence from the city. Ho declared that the diecolora- lion of hie face was due to an inci- dent emit° remote from anything con- nected with the tra,gedy-a pereonal indiscretion. The fact that it Do - catered Thursday night, the evening following the afternoon quarrel be- tween Ethel Dingle and Leland D.
