LONDON, May 15.-The Central Meas
Dublin dispatch says The police have dis
covered that the car in which the murderers
escaped was hired by stranger from
stable in the southern part of the city, and
was returned at about 8 o'clock on the even

when the car returned to the stable. The
police merely suspect who the driver is.
They have the man under surveillance, and
he may be arrested, but the detectives have
no chance of bringing home his guilt unless
an informer comes forward. The persons
who witnessed the fight of the assassins
have been shown the car, the horse, and the
suspected driver, but their evidence as to
identity is conflicting and unsatisfactory.
