ARREST FOR MURDER.
SUGAR LUMPS AS CLUE. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) NEIW YORK, August 7. Deductions reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, based on six sugar lumps found in the pocket of a Frencliwoman, Miss Irma Pradier, aged 27, who was shot in the head on July 20, reached their climax in the arrest of Arthui Chalmers, aged 35, a mounted policeman, married with tveo children, on a charge of murder. Detectives, discovered that Miss Pradier, was a lover of horses and was friendly with a number of troopers. They deduced from the sugar lumps that she had arranged to meet a trooper on the night she was murdered. They questioned many troopers and Chalmers admitted he met Miss Pradier on July 20, but he denied having committed the murder.
