ELLA HAMMOND.

ADDIE STANTON. ELLA HAMMOND. sparse information they divulged is not known. While every one was speculating and wondering on the sensational crime get ting deeper in the mire and more perplexed the longer they speeulated and wondered, the inspector had arrived at conclusion which, when developed by two days work. landed the two mysterious masked men at his feet. l
 The two men are intimate friends of the two women in the case. Detectives Hickey and Crowley, who were dispatched to trace the two men, learned by Tuesday night that the friend of the Hammond woman was a certain Henry Herman, and nat Hammond as has been previously stated. It was also ascertained that Herman had wife living in New York, Vs@om the detectives subse- quently traced to house on Second avenue, the number of which was not divulged,
 After watching the house for half 8 day the detectives felt certain that they could lay their hands on their man at 8 few hours notice. It was not their game to arrest the man yet. No trace had yet been found of the other man, and in the event of Hermans arrest he would surely scent danger and leave the city, taking pains to obliterate all traces,
 The two detectives reported the progress made to their chief, who ordered them to watch their man day and night until further instructed. Inspector Ryrnes then placed Detectives O'Brien and McCauley to work up the other side. On clews furnished by the inspector the two detectives speedily learned that Adelaide Stanton's friend was one Ed ward Meredith. After much search the de- tectives located Meredith at house on One Hundred and Sixth street, near Second avenue. That was yesterday morning. The house was watched all day, and at 5 D. m. the detectives were rewarded for their vigi- lance by seeing their man leave the house and walk toward Third avenue. Just as he was about to board a surface car the detect ives clapped their hands on his shoulders and told him that he was their prisoner.
 The man said nothing, but turned pale He made no show of resistance, and agreed to accompany the detectives quietly, Hand cuffs were fastened on his wrists, and calling a cab, Detective O'Brien started for head quarters.
 Detective McCauley took a down town train on the Third avenue L so as to report the condition of affairs to Inspector Byrnes before the prisoner arrived. The inspector at once dispatched messengers to the detect ives engaged in watching the house occupied by Henry Herman, with orders to arrest the latter with as little delay as possible. The arrest was effected almost immediately, and 6 few minutes after the arrival at headquar- ters of Detective O'Brien with his prisoner the other detectives, with Herman securely handcuffed, passed quietly into Inspector Byrnes' private room.
 Both men were questioned at great length by the inspector separately and together. The two women, Addie Stanton and Ella Hammond, were then sent for. About 7:3Q they arrived in charge of two detectives of the Nineteenth precinct and were at once brought before the inspector,
 The women were dumfounded when they saw who the two prisoners standing hand euffed before the inspector were. They both quickly recovered, however, and spoke guardedly whenever a question was put to them.
 Addie Stanton refused to say anything, saying that she was SO instructed by her counsel, Lawyer Ie Barbier.
 | The inspector then turned his attention to | the Hammond woman. She proved more communicative. She said:
 "I knew what was going to happen all the morning When Phil Daly called in the afternoon and was shown into the parlor by Addie went down stairs, because I didn't want to be on hand while the job was being l done. don't think money obtained in that way ever brings luck, so determined not to have anything to do with it, or take any share of the stuff if the job proved successful,
 The Hammond woman was allowed to con=
 Verse with Meredith and Herman. which she did Addie Stanton said nothing, . What the inspector gleaned by his conver- sation with the two latest captures can be
 judged from the following statement, which he made last night in his private room to 8 reporter;
 I He said, ssThe whole scheme was concoeted by the two men and the Stanton woman. ssIt was planned to entice Daly to the house, chloroform and rob him.
 "A bottle of the drug was purchased early
 in the morning and the plans fer the robbery
 carefully mapped out. Daly was to be chloro-
 formed, tied hand and foot and robbed. If
 the money and valuables about him did not
 reach sum large enough to satisfy the
 avarice of the prisoners he was to be kept
 tied apd gagged a close prisoner in the rooms until he signed a check for S25, ,000. It was
 never intended to murder him.
