been made OF parties implics,ed In the
murder Of the Chinese and in sending
threatening messages 10 citizens. The
last two we're brought in last evening.
and every cell and every room Of our
Station house and Town hall il occupied.
Extra guards were placed around the
Town-hall last night. but nothing seem
ed 70 disturb the quiet OF the town. II,
turns out now that within forty-eight
hours after the murder was committed
the detectives and officers had good
Idea - to who we're tho guilty parties,
but proof VAS necessary. and. therefore,
every energy was bent toward working
up evidence against them. Little BY
little the chain was woven until such !
network was completed that there was
no chance to escape. and then arrests
commenced-frst one and then another.
until the people who did not know won.
dered what II oil meant. More than six
were arrested. and yet, the Chinnmap
said that was the number engaged in the
butchery but the officers knew whs,
they were about aud kept silent, for they
did not want the outside world 10 know
that they were srresting men for other
crimes than murder, and they have the
whole crew now, or 1t least Il Ia suppos.
