The funeral of John Watterson, the muir
dered Merchant policeman, will take Place
at . o'clock this afternoon from the Black
ford-street Church. 1t will be conducted by
the United Order Of Fellowship.
There is little confidence in the plan
adopted yesterday to apprehend the fugitive
and the police steadily working upon
other clews. Superintendent Powell ard
Detective Splann were out nearly all night
and at one time early in the evening it was
thought that a valuable cleW had been
found. However IL proved a mere runlor
Scores of people believed that the iuan who
killed WattersOn is yet in the city. Others

citizens alike are puzzled. Coroner Beck
has not begun taking testimony in the case,
but expects to summon witnesses to-day. In
the ranks of the Merchant police there is
universal sadness over the affair and the
members Of the organization will probably
attend the funeral to-day in a body.

is regularly employed in the line of GRIM

acute senses and almost human intelli-
gence OF his dogs. He brought them from
Alabama to this State shortly after

dogs. Four hours after the Wra.ten afro
city in Washington county, Carter was
summoned to the scene with his hounds.
He Immediately wired the authorities to
allow no one to pass through the window
through which the murderer was supposed
TO have made his exit. His employers
Ialled 10 obey the injunction, and when
carter arrived he found that the scent was
rant at best; However the dogs Were put
10 work, and in a few hours wound up at
the door of murderer Stone, baying and
eager to get into the house. The entire
neighborhood laughed over the incident and
treated Ii as an absurd matter, but the
recent confession of Stone made a reputa-
ton for the owner of the hounds.
Last July Mr.. Carter was instrumental
IN seeking out lost boy at North Vernon.
Inc lad, Dennis Connolly, strayed from
nome and message was sent for the
famous Seymour hounds Mr.. Carter Sc
cured an old waist belonging to the boy,
and from this clew the dogs set out They
traversed twenty-five miles of the sur
rounding country, and on the second day
came upon the boy. in the middle OF a
large corn field, eight miles from North
Vernon. The hounds are apparently as
meek as an ordinary street cur, but the
owner AYERS that they savagey eager

when trailing unless they are fatigued
and worn out. That they were on the right
track yesterday Mr. Carter is positive. He
is emphatic i'm the assertion that had he
been, summoned Immediately after the
murder. or even early Sunday morning,
the slayer of Watterson would now be in
custody Where the trail is fresh he claims
there is no chance of escape from the four
footed Sleuths. Mr.. Carter says that he
has run down scores of sneak thieves and
burglars. His hounds are two years old.

AN EXPERTS OPINION.
He Does Not Believe the Dogs Fol-
lowed the Scent.


Said expert on dogs yesterday, in
speaking about the efforts of the police to
run down the murderer of officer Waiter
son with the bloodhounds from Seymour:
'All efforts at such late hour to trail
the murderer with hounds will prove futile
1t is too much to expect Of a hound. If
the dogs had been put on the track within
a few hours after the murder was commit
ted or even twelve hours afterwards, they
might have followed the scent. 1t is who'll
ly improbable that the animals, wonderful
their faculty in this direction may be,
could single out the tracks or the scent
after thousands of people have crossed and
recrossed the supposed trail. Or, if the
murderer had kept to the soil, the dogs
might have accomplished their mission,
but l do not see how they could follow a
trail that led over brick and ,a asphalt al
scent that q hound follows, and If ii Is
damp it can be followed much easier. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that these dogs
caught the trail in the vicinity of the spot
ground is soft whereabouts, and the pres
enCe Of blood was noted. The murderer,
bax ct ts route 91 fhS 81 b fGl9Sd
and when he struck Seventh street he was
on the asphalt L do not believe the best
dog that was ever whelped can follow a
trail thirty-sX hours old on an asphalt or
a brick street. Then il is shown that the
animals fingered around a stable in the
northeastern part Of the city, and were
dragged away with difficulty. This shows
the murderer had been in that stable and
had left it, the dogs would have fingered
in the place but few minutes, picking
up the trsil as the man left the place. Then
it is said that blood was found in several
places Delaware street, on Vermont
and on Christian avenue If blood had
been found at these places, the man would
have been bleeding to death. The blood he
would have lost according to such indica-
tons, would have been enormous in guam
tity, more in fact than he had in his body"
