THE VOLUNTEER WITNESSES
The SUPERINTENDENT Is still being harassed by Iu-
agnative people, who come to him with absurd sto-
ries AZ to what trey hpve seen and heard. which.
when 81 ted, amount TO nothing. He listens to all
but goes on In his own way, intent npon accomplish
ing what nearly everybody in the community desires
He Is daily In the receipt OF
ANONYMOUS LETTERS,
giving theories and Information that worthless,

and enly consume the time OF the detectives. These
letter writer's In many cases. are sem'-lunatics. In
other cases cruel jokers, whose only object Is TO
perplex and annoy the officers Of the law. One of
these inischievous meddlers on Sunday resorted to
novel trick to get up sensation. On the inside of
paper collar he wrote
1--WE ARE WATCHED -341-i0--3lsr,"
and pinned 1t to tree the corner OF Forty
street and Third avenue In the expectation, no
doubt thar some policeman would see n and send
it to headquarters.

JIMMY FOUND.
The report was circulated about the Headquarters
on Mulberry street yesterday morning that another
clue had been found In the shape Of burglars nstr-
nehts. hhVesngation showed that q nInmy and
safe breaking were found by of1cer Walsh IN Madi-
son Park yesterday morning; but no one engaged
in working up the case connects tins circumstance
IN any way with the murder.
THE CoRoNER'S INQUEST.
Much dissatisfaction seems TO prevail regarding
what is said to be the action OF Coroner Rollins ia
conducting the inquest. IL Is said that he did not
fully investigate the case and draw out ali the ey
dence before causing an adjournment. 1t does seem
that the inquiry is very incomplete. Every person
present In the house should have been examined,
and the investigation continued unt The Coroner
could obtain no more, and then az adJournmeng
would be proper.
The source from which the assassin secured this
instrument still perplexes the authorities, who would
doubtless pay handsome reward to trace it. Yes
terday, after the publication in the HERALD or the
statements made by certain party that he had seen
the dog IN the stable several months ago efforts
were made To find him, but they were fruitless De
tectives declare that If II be satisfactorily esta-
lished that the instrument with which the fearful
wounds were inflicted was really secured in the
stable, then all the theories OF the crime having been
committed by an outside party will be dispeed,
and the case will he narrowed down 10 the dis
covery OF which Of the inmates committed The deed
To solve this point all the energies oy the author
