HAvEEs.EAw. May 2.-The supposed clue t.
the murderers OF jose do Shayen. who wn
shot near IIaverstraw last Friday. which wa
furnished by Deputy Sheriff John O'Koefe
was found yesterday to be worthless. Th'
| story told by O'Keefc. that he had seen three
I men board train for New York Mt Kingston
| is probably incorrect. O'Kecfc left for Brook

| As soon as Coroner Hartt learned thai
O'keefo's story was not true. he sent his spe
cial detective. William H. Springstcad. ovel
tho entire country lying along the road be-
tween Havcrstraw and Newburgh.
Springstead first made q thorough investi'
cation ir Haverstraw. He learned that II. W.
Felters. brick manufacturer, Ind seen the
three mcn near his brick yards at about S:3U
on the morning of tho murder. From Felters's
brick yau he traced them to Stony Point,
where they stole two dinner pails from gang
OF laborcrs. and. while trying to sell them to
Mikman Tomblins. robbed him OF tho pro-
ceeds Of his mornings sale OF milk. From
Stony Pont tho men went to tho farmhouse
OF Wesley Buson. Harvey Wyant saw them
next on tho road near where Do Shayen' s
body was found. Half an hour after Bulson
heard pistol shot. Newman Rose met them
running coward Newburgh. A farmer living
on Mr.. King Whites farm. three miles past
Mr.. Roses house. saw them hurryinC on n
slow trot toward Fort Montgomery. Other
farmers living along the road noticed the men
going north.
In Fort MONTGOMERY William II. Dram. the
rroprieto. Of Grams Hotel. said that about
2:3O on Friday afternoon three men. hot;
asked for Soda. They drank it eagerly. and
the oldest man o. the three pulled S SHt roll Of

station ut 1 80 in the afternoon. Edward Hill.
tho conductor on the train. noticed three men
were III at ease. and frequently asked Hill how
long it would be before the train reached wee
That tho thrcc men first seen by Felters are
tho n en- who took tho train at Fort Mont.om-
cry is undoubtedly correct. SprinGstead got

tions agree without nm execution. 1t was
learned yesterday that the tall. dark man has

prominent nose slightly ;tooked to tho left.
Two of them wore dark clothes. and one the
light ht-moustached man. Wore suit OF blue

OF the murderers is that on Monday three
Putnam county. and havc not yet been cap
tured. Carmel is twenty miles across country
from Haverstraw. Tho men had ut least three
days to go that distance. That they can travel
rapidly Is shown by tho fact that they went
from the scene of the murder TO Fort Mont
gomcry. ten miles. in two hours and Il half.
When Coroner Iiartt was convinced that the
men had tuken tho train Mt Fort Montgomery
he won't with Springstca cad to New York and
saw Superintendent ByrEes. The Supcrin-
tendent detailed Detective Sergeant Sheldon
on the case. and he went over tho story as told
by tho Coroner. He agreed at its close that
the murderers We're in New York. He will
probably come UP here tomorrow to look over
the ground.
