REV ARDS WILL Be OFFERED
CHIEF CROWLEY FORWARDS A
DISPATCH TO GOVERNOR
BUDD.
No CLEw OBTAINED AS YET TO
THE MURDERER OF COR
NELIUS Stage.

Every effort is being made by the police
to trace the murderer of Cornelius Stage
and his accomplice, but as yet they are
absolutely without a clew.
Thomas Holland, one of the two young
men arrested on suspicion on the San
Bruno road on Sunday night, was dis
charged from custody yesterday morning.
James Bailey, his companion, is being held,
but it is more owing to his past record than
anything else. Nobody really believes that
he was connected with the Stage murder
and robbery.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Crowley sent
the following dispatch to Governor Budd:
On Saturday night, 18th inst, Cornelius
Stage was murdered at his home, The Ingle-
side, near Lake MERGED, in this county, the
murder being premeditated and in cold blood,
l respectfully suggest that you offer suitable
reward for any information that may lead to
the arrest and conviction of the murderer. I
desire to have it understood that the reward
rest, nor will the police expect or be permitted
to receive 1t or any portion thereof. In ad-
dltlon to the reward that may be offered by
you, will pay, on the part of the Police De-
