The New York papers report no turtsor
developments IN the Rogers murder. Thc
search for evidence to prove that Jack" is
s:Jim'' and that "Jim" is the Rogers assassin,
is said to bo progressing favorably. Very
briefly. stated, tho chief points for and against
the two Logans are as follows: Agaiust-Both
bear the name written on the envelope found
in the murderer's coat pocket, and both are
pretty hard cases. Logan the Little agrees
in size and appearance with tie murderer, as
described by Mr.. Rogers, and no official cri-
dence has been produced in his favor; and
Logan the Large hurt his hand aud lost his
hat and coat in very suspicious manner on
the day OF the murder. For-LoSan the Little
gave himself up as soon as he learned that he
was wanted By the authorities, has had no
charge made and no evidence produced asaiust
linn, and the private testimony Of his sister
establishes fair abb in his favor. LOGAN the
Large is taller than the Rogers murderer is
believed to be, has had q good attbi proven in
his behalf by tho concurriag testimony of two
witnesses, and, as the evidence shows, lost his
oyercoat, whereas the ass. ssin lost his under
coat. on the day of the murder.
