Although II Is now settled beyond all rea
sonable doubt that the two burglars shot
dead at Bay Ridge, /. l., Monday, were
the real abductors of the missing Charlie
Ross, the hiding place Of the missing child
remains as yet undiscovered. The New
York police have succeeded in finding the
wife of Mosher, the principal of the two
burglars, and woman claiming to be the
wife of Douglas, the other burglar, has
turned up, as also the sister of Douglas,
and the sistcr-in-law of Mosher but'if the
police have succeeded in getting any infor-
nation out of them that is likely to show
where the boy is, which seems unlikely,
they have kept it TO themselves. Police
Superintendent Waling oil New York cx
presses the decided opinion that the women
are as ignorant as the police-more so--of
the whereabouts of the stolen child The
inquest over the bodies of the dead burg
lars was begun Wednesday. The tcsti-
mony taken was wholly descriptive of the
fight in which they lost their lives, and was
substantially as the account already pub
lished.
A SHARP LOOKOUT FOR CHARLIE ROSS.
superintendent Walling has instructed
the police captains to keep "A sharp lookout
for any child resembling Charley Ross, as
it Is probable that the boy is hidden in New
York Some persons who are supposed to
have had the child left the city few days
ago. and detective Sllick was put on their
track. A dispatch was received IRON sill
lick to the effect that the child was not
with the parties. The superintendent had
an interview with Mrs. Moshcr and came
to The conclusion that she has no knowledge
of the whereabouts Of the Ross child. He
is also positive that Moshcr did not com
muncate with his wife by letter as she was
under surveillance both in Philadelphia and
| New York.
MES. DOUGLAS PROMISES 10 REVEAL.
Mrs. Douglas, the wife of one of the all
ductors, was quite rc,icent with the detec-
tives in reference 10 her residence or her
knowledge of the whereabouts of the Ross
boy.
The coroner assured her that the inquest
would no doubt bring TO light where the
boy was, and that ANYTHING she knew She
might as well tell him ut once. Ii she dill
so, he would do what he couid To accom-.
plish her ish as TO her husbands body.
Mrs. Douglas then went more in detail into
her family history. She and her boy lived
with her parents, who knew nothing of the
character of her husband. She was afraid
that if she testified Oh the inquest her folks
would turn her out of doors, and leave her
and her child utterly without support. She
said she would run away rather than tes-
tlfy. This Coroner Jones said she could
not do, as she was watched. and would not
be permitted to leave. "Try to go TO New
Jersey and see if you are not prevented,
il you doubt my word" Mrs Doug
las, seeing that she was hemmei in
on all sides, succumhcd to the pressure and
promised to tell all she knew at the in
quest. In further conversation she gave q
number of points bearing directly on the
Ross disappearance. which makes the cor
oner feel confident that before the inquest
is over he will be able to fix the present
whereabouts of Charlie Ross, it he is not
brought home before. This information
the coroner requests shall not be made pub
lie before the police have an opportunity
to work it up. Both the women speak OF
Mrs. Mosher, the wife Of the burglar, as
having deceived them, and say that she had
left her residence suddenly and they do
not know where shs has gone.
