FIFTEEN CENTS ON THE DOLLAR
While the police apparently working upon tho
theory that "Phil' DAILY enticed by Adelaide
Stanton to her at No. 406 Fourth-ave by means
Of begging letter for the purpose of robbery, they
are in fact working upon the case from an entirely
different point Of Wow. Days story that whlio ne
was In the womans two men came upon him
with masks upon their faces and pistols In their
hands and that one OF them demanded that he should
throw UP Lis hands, pronounced last evening
by high police official who is at WORK upon the caso
to be fairy tale from beginning to end. Dalys story
was made up on the spur of the moment to clear
himself from damaging position. and 1t does not
hitch at s. The police do not believe word OF IL
and laugh the idea that two expert crooks should
undertake Job of this kind In broad daylight, In
house filed with people and In tho presence Of two
women witnesses. II robbery had been intended by
thieves IL would certainly have been committed. as
tho men, according to Daly's own version, had him
In their power completely and could easily have car
ried out their purpose. In order to mako ROBBERY
appear as motive in Dslys story he tells about the
large amount of bonds and money that he had in his
possession while In the $50, 900 In Government
bonds that he said he had only that amount Of
stock OF driving track in NewJersey, worth about
10 cents on the dollar No one saw his money, and
tle only evidence of wealth SNOWY diamond on
his shirt front.

knew when he called upon her that there was no
danger Of being robbed He is not man who Is given
to works Of charity and he did not call upon her 10
aid a woman In distress" About tho only true
stetoment that Daily has made IS that he was shot
There is no doubt OF this The bullet was found In
the woman's room yesterday By Detectives Bet and
Hayes It had glanced from the gamblers head,
struck picture frame and rebounded TO the middle OF
the ROOM Tho police know who fired the shot, but
refuse to say whether It was Henry Hammond, the
alleged husband Of Ella Hammond, who roored
with the Stanton woman, Henry Li5Dn, her lover
Il has been suggested that the fred the shot,
but the police insist that IT was man who did 1T
The motive for the shooting was Jealousy, and not
plunder and DAILY, It is said, invited tho assault by
his treatment OF the woman. Daily is now said to
be sorry for tho course be took In the matter and II
