THE SUPERINTENDENT
or Police IS still actively engaged In the work OF
clearing up the case. Last evening he left the Police
Headquarters ct an early hour, and notified the officer
on post ia the hall that he would return at half
past seven. The reporter OF the HERALD remained
until ten and he had not arrived and left satisfied
tnat MIR. Jourdan had no intention OF returning,
notwithstanding there were two OF the carpenters
who had not before been examined waiting ior him
Tor hours.
HOPE AT LAsr-rHE MURDERER KNOWN
We possess certain information, the publication Of
whio ut this stage or the inquiry would defeat the
ends OF Jusuce but IL is safe TO say that the real
criminal IL known. Yesterday he may have been
mourner at the funeral or spectator on the street
corner but for a moment he was not from under the
eye OF the Keenest detectives, and all his movements
were watched.
A singular circumstance In this most remarkable
case is that on Sunday afternoon Judge Cunning s.
Bedford WAS cOseted with the superintendent OF PO-
lice and Captain Kelso for hour and then qui-
ety took his departure. Every citizen familiar with
| these gentlemen knows that they Intimate and
confidential friends-that they work In unison FOR
inc purging or the city OF offenders against the law
The remarkable charge Of Judge Bedford yesterday
clearly shows that he expects the early arrest, trial
| and conviction OF the assassin.
