Each new day heaps new eliminating facts
on the mass OF evidence accumulating against
Mrs. Olive F'eund and her associates Each
new day sees fresh measures aiken for their
arrest They are now liable to Imprisonment
in every Euglish-speaking country in the world.
Nearly the wnole Cotterill family have gone
West in pursuit of thcrl Detectives are on
their trail Lawson n. Fuller declared with en-
phasis yesterday: By the Great Bootsl Well
have them!" and yet they are free. Why Mr.
Cotterill should have taken his wife TO Ann Arbor
with him is not apparent Perhaps IL was the
encumtrance Of her company that hampered his
movements. At any rate he LET the quarry
slip from under his very nose. aud, in g letter,
received by j. U. Robertson yesterday, he con-
fesses himself to be at fault The Letter Is dated
from Ann Arbor January 5. and tan as follows:

TELEGRAM FROM MR.. corrERIIn.
Mr.. Roberfson's latest inform ,1ion from Mr.
Cotterill Is the following dispatch. dated at
Ann Arbor Mich, yesterday
Al; Attashmsnt tbs afternoon; Evsryth'as possible
England against Frcund and Howard for The false
rspresentaiiops made at meeting of stockholders in
Advises TO cable to England to have this done
Best persons 10 apply for warrants tho.e who were
induced TO buy stock on face OF these representations
Though Mr.. CottcriIl has nine chilarcn there
except the two sons in this city w Gotterill,
jr, is one Of the directors In the cssnpsny, while
Ernest Cotterll Is on insurance aesnt With his
Office In the Boreel Building. Ernest married
into the rich worthington family some years
ago. and bis relations with the rsst OF the fam
ily are said TO have been not. pofsisnirrly coz
dial for some time until his father nude S,oncy In
the sugor scheme W. Cottcrill jr.. sas asked yes
A.
iishcd In The Tribune yesterday, mentioning the
damaging record Of one William IIentY cotterill
in 1870 Young cottcrill had seen she reprint
and spoke calmly about H.
" I never heard OF that trouble" saiA he. AT
that time I was only fourteen years old, and
did not have my fathers confidence. lie never
told me anything about II since knew that
my father had gone into bankruptcy in England,
and for that reason came to Amcrics. but sup
pose there Is no special discredit in that hope
the embezzlement story of 1876 csn te dis
proved. When my father returns BE- Win un-
doubtedly explain it, remember going 20 Ing
land that year. but knew nothing Of the cir
cumstances. We afterward went 20 Canada,
where later on / was married"
Mr.. cottcrll, jr, who has an open and Straight
forward manner declared positively tin there
was machinery OF some kind In The Brooklyn
refinery, lie was present at several deinonstra-
lions, and saw sixty-seven barrels refined at
one run. lie said tsf the noise he heard in
the secret chamber was undoubtedly the rattle
OF machinery In OPERATION
WHERE THE RAW SUGAR WENT
One OF the mysteries surrounding the demon
strations" made by Freund the disposal
OF the raw sugar This does not apply TO the
factory, for In the demonstrations made in
Brooklyn the raw sugnr was simply stored in the
secret chamber In the demonstrations made in
private houses the raw sugar actually DISAPPEARED,
however. The occupants OF Na 225 East SIX
tieth-st, the house adjoining thai in wiicb Frcund
lived for a while, gave very plausible theory
explaining the peculiar fact. The wastc-water
pipe burst one day between the two houses, and
the cellar OF No. 2g7 flooded with lot
ol thick, brown molasscs. Mr.. Waldron, who
lives In No. 227, called at the Freunds', was
admitted to their cellar and found there another
overflow OF the same stun. This seems 70 show
conclusiveIy that tho raw sugar was washed into
the sewer through the sink in the room whefe
the refining was going on.
Mr. Robertson declared yesterday that both
he and w, Il. Cotterill still held their respective
original blocks Of stock. There is no DOUBT nov v
he and Cotterill speculated in the company's
securities. Two years ago, according TO former
stoclSholder, there were ls5 holders OF the stock
IN America f>dCn OF tnc,c neM ifom bHo W
fifteen shares. The number from that time
rapidly dwindled down to three stockholders Out
side the Office each of the three holding two
shares. President Woodwork. when at the head
Of the company had distributed number OF
shares either for cash or for amusement ap-
psrently TO acquaintances. When the stock began
TO boom, however, he bought In oil the outstand-
Ing stock for $50 share or thereabouts, which
left the holders good profit g.,
With reference 70 the first organization, m n
the presence on the foard Of Mr.. Parsons. OF
Liberty.sts. and Mr. Barker, o. Connecticut Mr,
broke, 5000, and got 100 shares Of the stock.
Parsons did Woodworth favor Of some k'nd o.
into the directory, and Inter on they were bought
out by Woodworth at the rate of $50 share.
HOPE THAT WILL NOT PERISH
Lawson n. Fuller possesses at least snattcrug
OF that faith which enables those with complete
endowment of 1t TO move morntains In his
presence yesterday Mr.. Robertson characterized
the Frcund process as WORTHLESS. Mr. Fuller
begged to differ. lie said that he
