THE VEIL OF MYSTERY.
1t Still Hangs Around the Ja.
cObsOn Murder.

Chief of Police Crowley has no evidence
yet to offer to the Coroner regarding the
mysterious shooting of Samu ell NJ. Jacob
son. Each successive day sees new theory
advanced and worked up by the detectives,
but at night there is no clew LETT The
mystery has become deeper than ever, and
yet the detectives working on the case keep
doEgedly following every suspicion, hoping
to be rewarded with some clew to the assas-
sins.
AS matters now stand there is a stand
still. and the police appear baf1ied. This
condition of affairs is freely acknowledged
by the police officials, who assure them
selves that jacobson was killed by high
waymen.
That a woman was mixed up in the case
is gaining more eredence daily, and there
are many circumstances in favor of this be-
lief. Who she was or what part she played
in the tragedy is the real mystery. Posi-
bly, she was the murderer, ana the Story OF
two masked asSassins the veriest myth.
jacobson has been accounted for until he
stepped on the Calfornia-street cable-car,
at II 80 O'clock on the night of his murder.
His alleged ante-mOrtem statement OF his
movements subsequent 10 that hour is all
that is known OF how the fatal affair took
place, either ON his own doorstep or in the
house. The parlors were lighted when lie
returned, and it is said that the inmates
had not then retired for the night. These
facts, in opposition to the story told by
jacobson. to the effect that he was shot on
the sidewalk by two masked men, who ran
away after shooting, and that he quietly
and methodically went to his room, lit the
gas and aroused the family, create much
doubt as to the completeness Of the victims

friend of the dead man last evening to The

fore Judge Finn yesterday. The cross-com-
