The Ex.MayOr Hall Mystery.
New York, March 26.
Suicide and murder fictions associat-
ed with the absent Hall are abandoned
even by their factors. Miss Ida Dyas
saws the story is untrue that she was

report of negotiations for a settlement
of the case against Sweeney; lot eve
a proposition had been made or sug-
gested in ~Sweeney's behalf to counsel
for prosecution.
