The Glendale murder mystery refuses to be solved.
Little confidence is felt in the Identification Of re
girls body by Charles II. eber of North Haven,
Conn., The two detectives whom Coroner HOmeyer
sent TO North Haven to investigate Weber's story
we're unable to find him. They secured the place in
vain and had the assistance Of local officials. Not
finding him they teegTaphed the Coroner to hold
Weber until they should arrive, but the Coroner had
allowed Weber TO go, and he could not be found yes
erday, either In New York, Brooklyn or ew-Haven.
We5ers escape need the Coroner that he declared
that the proper thing to do hereafter would be 10 hold
every one who should appear 10 examine TIE body
until the mystery has been fully cleared up.
Charles Reade, Of Darien, Conn., appeared yesterday

the girl on the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday and later
at Rockaway Beach. lie says that in the morning
John Haav, Have. wore SLOUGH hat and that in

Reade said that the murderer in
hiding at Rockaway. The Coroner was missed during
the day by many people wanting Information about
the case or to assist in carrying on the search
There was another sensational feature In the Identify
appearance entered Gus Grauer's hotel at Ridge
wood about O'Clock in the evening. where crowd
of men and boys were discussing the murder lie was
about FIVE feet ten inches tall Of stout build, smooth
shaven, dressed In a dark suit OF clothes Come
ND boys and have a drink said he, and the crowd
readily responded, and the stranger paid Tor earn
round of drinks, exhibiting large roll OF bills as he
did
When the murder was brought up no one was sur
,i- half 6lOut Know
all about that murder killed the girl and am sorry
for it; I'm sorry for it," he repeated.

which made the unknown man angry. lie SAID thaI
an old man was to blame for the murder and that he
ought to be hanged lie got me 10 put the girl out
Of the way said the stranger, because there was
money in it for him and money for me-" pulling the
roll out of his pocket IL tell YOU" he went on to
night man Will come here to Identify the girls body.
How could tell you this II didn't knOwl'
Deputy she riff Frank spedell refused to arrest the
man. and the stranger went his way but when shoF'
time after Weber appeared the crowd IN the oarIoom
which had been coniecturing whether the strangers
story was true not suddenly came TO the conclusion
that there might be great deal more truth than fiction
in what he had said but this Circumstance was not
sufficient 70 induce Coroner Homeyer to examine "eoer
thoroughly or to detain him.
Coroner Homeycr returned to RidgewOod at
O'Clock last evening from his visit TO RochaWay' where
he went with young Reade to try to ma the slayer
