The Latter Reappears to a

possible theories and are bending all their
energies to discover the trio. First. the
woman in the case--the dark-eyed, black
haired JeweSS-who swept so defiantly
before the eyes of Miss Chita jackson in
the drugstore few short minutes before
the murder must have been committed /;
the woman who said to Ware in Miss
Jackson's presence. "Ill shake him if
can and come back later: who was seen
few seconds later by Miss Jackson on
the street in company with stout man in
a light coat, engaged in heated conversa-
ton.
I'VE want 10 know" said Captain Lees
yesterday, ''!f she did come back later.
That's what we want to know now"
That's the very particular person the
detectives want. Then they desire the
man-the well-dressed MANN the light
coat. smooth shaver or with only the sus-
piclon of light mustache. with whom the
woman was talking. They have an idea
that he knows a whole lot.
Lastly they are hot on the trail of a
maniac-of the maniac-who sits on stony
curbs and whets a glittering knife, as he
gibbers away. The same maniac who was
seen on the night of the tragedy at Market
and Ridley streets; who earlier had been
heard to say he intended cutting his own
throat, and may have changed his mind
and plunged his blade into the body of be
defenseless Ware. The same maniac who
was seen Saturday afternoon.
These are the three the police are look
ing tor, and should they get them and be
unable to connect Them with the crime
they will be entirely at sea. They will not
have leg to stand On, and unless the MUIR
derer voluntarily confesses the case of
Eugene Ware will Only be another to keep
company with the many labeled, ''mys-
teries"
So far all efforts to dissipate the clouds
surrounding the identity of the woman
and her escort have been futile. The
police seem to be no nearer the discovery
than they were before they put in the last
twenty-four hours of work and they
really have worked faithfully and con-
scentiously on this case.
They have had a Little bit better luck
with The maniac They have heard of him
again, however, and an Imperative
order was issued from Captain Lees yes
terday that the police seTgeants instruct
the patrolmen very particularly TO search
for and when found immediately take in
any person bearing a general resen tlance
to the description of the maniac.
One of the walters employed at the
Palace Hotel saw the supposed maniac
late Saturday afternoon. He was sitting
on a horseblock on New Mon gomery

maybe So middle-sZed and thin, with
plenty oil gray in his hair. The waiter
passed on and did not thhk of the matter
again until he began talking with some
others about the Ware murder, when the
mailman, who might have committed the
deed, was mentioned. He at once jumped
TO the conclusion that he had seen the very
maniac the police so badly wanted.
Later on he mentioned IL TO John d
Spreckels and in turn the latter spoke to
Captain Lees when be dropped into the
hotel during the evening. The captain
came very nearly getting mad when he
found the waiter had neglected to take
some means of notifying the police SO
that the muchly wanted maniac might
have been safely landed in Jail.
"Of course we wanted him." said the
captain yesterday. 'and to think that fol-
low didn't have sense enough to let us
Knowp
So there is not the least doubt, taking
the statement of Captain Lees directly.
that the police are very anxious to get hold
OF the dark-eyed Jewess and the maniac
with the flashing blade and the baleful
eye, and incidentally the man with the
light coat and the striped pants.
Everything connected with the visits of
the various other persons TO the drugstore
on Thursday night has been thoruphIv
sitted and the detectives are satisfied With
their findings. The past of Ware. in 40
far as 1t had not crossed with The dark

coat, is an open book to them. There ia
