Police, Coroners, District Attorneys and
lawyers are at loggerheahs over the inquest
into tile death OF old Carrie Brown, who was
found brutally butchered 10 JACK the ltipper
in The East River Hotel on the morning OF
April "a and at 2P. NJ. to-day 1t was announced
that tDe inquest would not go on before
Coroner schultze this afternoon as announced
Tue inquest was originally set down for
Friday, May /. but was adjourned at the
request Of Assistant District Attorney Lindsay
until to-day to give Inspector Byrncs further
time to complete their case against Ameer Ben
All, or Frenchy No. l." the suspect locked
up the Tombs.
This afternoon 1t was stated that 1t had been
decided to adjourn the inquest until TO- 90
Wednesday morning, the reason as given at
the District Attorneys ofice being that "the
police are not quite ready"
At the offoe of Levy, Friend House.
Frenchys lawyers, nothing was known about
the proposed adjournment, but It was said
shat the firm strenuously opposed any further
delay.
Atthe Coroner's once It was stated that the
adjournment was granted to enable the Dis
trict- Attorneys ofice to prepare maps and
drawings OF rooms 81 and 83 OF the East River
Hotel and OF the hallway separating them.
At Q 80 this afternoon, upon application OF
Clerk UnReL, OF the District Attorneys office,
Coroner schultze formally adjourned the in
Quest until 10 80 Wednesday morning. None
of the Witnesses, nor the jury Ior Frenchy
were present
Lawyers House and Friend opposed the ir-
regularity of the proceeding, but were Obliged
to acquiesce IN the adjournment.
The adjournment OF the inquest only
adds to the mystery already thrown around
the case by the police and confirms the
belief that the Chief Inspector OF Police is re-
serving his most important evidence for the
last minute, when he will spring it as grand
coup.
So far as is known the principal evidence
against Ameer Ben All, or Frenchy, is the
al eyed trail OF blood IN the East River Hote,
leading from the fatal room 81 TO room 80,
which was occupied by Frenchy the night OF
the murder, and the finding OF blood stains on
Frenchy's bed, clothing, under his tinger-na!ls,
am the turni.nre of his room.
Fteuchy admits that he pied room 33 on
the night OF the murder, but denies that he
saw Carrie Blown or was In room 81. He Or

Learned, accounted Tor &C. Knico. the man

man aud with whom she was last seen alive.
THESE Two important links in the chain Of
evidence against F:enchy are apparently lack
ing, AMI yet there are grounds for belief that
the rr,Icence Of tne police means that con-
siderable knowledge on these tw o points has
besn suppressed by the chief OF detectives.
MORE WITNESSES.
/, known that the Oak street police have
added two more VII nesses In the case to those
WHO have been locked up in the House Of De-
teution since shortly after the murder was
committed.
one OF these witnesses is said to be EDWIN
Smith, a Fourth Ward dle-setter, aud he ia
said to answer fairly well the description of the
man &C. Kn!clo," as given by Mary Mlniter,
the housekeeper who rented room 81 10 him

Among the first witnesses in the case, com.
mitted TO the House of Detention by Coroner
pal nj
THE EVENING WORLD was the first to discover
and announce that "Bekkie" was never
taken to the House OF Detention, and that hi,
present whereabouts are unknown to any one
savethe police.
All these facts only tend TO strengthen the
belief that the chief OF the New York detec.
tives has not told all that he believes about the
case, and, indeed. no one has ever been able
10 get from him his official opinion tha
"Frenchy No. 1"is the New York "JacE the
Ripper"
