This pro- {duced a distinet impression that the itension of the past two days had lessened measureably and that plen- ipotentiaries were attacking the problem with a genuine determina- ition to reach an agreement. The feruiser problem, which is the dan- ger point-of the conference, was dis- cussed in geperal terms.

When a man called at her bouse and asked for food, Mrs. Andrew's failed to connect his ' appearance with the description broadcast: by the Toronto police but the, nest morning, on reading a description of the killer she formed the belief that he had been her visitor. The desr cription as to features, dress and stature corresponded with that giy- en and like the slayer, the man whe called at the Andrews home had # part of one thumb missing, Mrs Andrews when she realized these facts, called the police who took im- mediate action, A car load of Tor- onto detectives armed with sawed- off shotguns and revolvers, arrived on the scene early on Wednesday and spent until this morning scouring the countryside in the vi- cinity of Pickering.
