from Hooper's straits, as the distance Is
about eighty miles. AS the vessel
he used is u good saller, how

The mystery about the death and iden
tity OF -. b. Williams, whose body still
lies at the morgue Is as great as ever and
each succeeding effort to unravel 1t only
invalves it deeper The detectives have
been following every clue, each of which
either dwindled into nothingness or
has not yet materislized
Yesterday, Chief Of Police Blackburn
received a telegram from DR.. K. j.
Wilson of Hsekensack, n. j., asking for
description of the man, which was
given. Later another telegram was
rec, lived stating that Mr.. Williams was
supposed to be at Lake Hopatwag, N J.
This morning Coroner Sparks was sur
prised at the receipt of an anonymous
letter pretending to reveal the identity
of the alleged murdered man, giving the
name Of the murderer and
the circumstances under which he
came by his death. The coroner at
once put the letter In the hands of
Detectives McVey and Witsil This
morning they investigated the facts
mentioned in the letter and found the
whole thing to be TRADE of falsehood
Neither the coroner nor the detectives
will make public the names OF the
parties mentioned in the letter
as it is thought that they might be in
jured by IL. The writing Of the letter Is
supposed to be either the work of a
practical joker or that OF person having
a spite against the parties named in the
note. Efforts win be made to ascertain
the identity of the writer

worked for Mr.. Howell near Bristol, who
left some time ago for a fol tune left BY

ing his name and la other respects he re-
sembled the dead man.
The fact that SOM of the linen worn
by the man was purchased In Philadel-
phia and some ia Trenton, N. j.. cities
on each side Of Bristol gives some color
to the latest of stories.
kilograms of inquiry have been re-
ceived from several cities, and men of
that name are missing from each of at
least six cities. Yesterday the body was
viewed by Mr.. and Mrs Samuel B. Daniel
of Philadelphia who at FIRST thought that
the body was that of young man who
formerly boarded with them A close ex-
animation of it however convinced them
that they were mistaken.
Yesterday John Capeele, German
butcher, living at No. 5l9 Poplar street
was arrested by Detective Hawkins on
suspicion Of being the man whom farmer
James Or gg met going toward New
Castle on the morning Of the murder BE
was taken before several of those who
saw the man that morning, but, al
though he answered the description in
some respects, Mr.. Gregg and the others
were satisfied that he was not the mar.
