fully cognzant Of the supposed bloody encounter that

porter the Interview had at NO ll5 Clinton street
yesterday evening that i had already been arranged

upses Augusts claim to credit in supcrinten Wal

whole affair was a gigantic humoug.

Last night DR.. p. H. KretZschmar found by cer-
tain New York detectives In his store at the corner OF
the particulars gwen above added the following, which
put new face on the whole matter:-
On Tuesday tho Doctor, having tlschargcd Jousset,
paid him and he went away, returning on Wednesday
night however, with his hair cut short his musnchc
shaved OF and his whole appearance changed He said
.Doc,or, am going to be the subject OF a bigger

He then went away and tho Doctor heard no more Of
Jousset TIL his attention was called yesterday to the
account Of his mysterious disappearan:e. Last night,
however a friend or his strolcd IN, who said:--
doctor. what is tho matter with Joussct? am
just after seeing him and be told me to read the papers
and see what tmc they were raising about him."

Is THIS WHERE THE "BrooD" cAMx PROM?
Yesterday afternoon tho police of the Twcnty-thrd

which gave occasion tor so many surmiscs. A num-
bcr footsteps also discovered leading up from

tracked back 10 the avenue.
THEORY.
The theory ofthc detectives now IS thst tho woman
with whom Joussct lived the discarded
or divorced VITO OF Homann. Tho latter
according to tho statement oi Mrs. Connors
with whom the pair resided. goes so show
that Homann had called once or twice upon them:
and that the relations between them seemed
to her somewhat mysterious II is thought
then, that when Jousset wanted to leave
the city with his love, tho housemaid
of his employer, he and Homann consulted together
and adopted the strange and homicidesuggestin III n z
