Locked Up, but Did NOt-His Actions
 When the Murder w..s Discovered.
 BROOKLYN, June 22.-Thcre has been great boiling down and simmcring of evidence in the case of the mystery about the murder of Miser Henry within the past 24 hours, and the process has not helped the case of William. Nctthr has ii served to turR aside the finger of suspicion that has bCCn pointed at Walter. The closer the investigators keep to the tangi- blc facts of the case the less able are they to find a solution of the crime that does not involve the guilt of one or botn of the brothers. Only as an accessory after the fact, however, would it appear that Wal ter's part might, according to new devel- opments, be brought under consideration.
 In this view of the case it is held there may have been no criminal intent in what ho did. He might be able, therefore, to satisfactorily explain his failure, as alleged by the police, to obtain the arrest of his brother when he believed him to be guilty of tho crime.
 Two brand new and significant facts came out yesterday, and one of them cer- tainly does make it look as though Walter had done his duty so far as the ends of justice were concerned. On Friday even luSdI abOuJ O O CLOCK, two anu Ouc-lltilI hours after the body was found, Walter entered the Flatbush police station and told Sergeant Zimmerman that his broth CT William had committed murder. His manner was so excited. the sergeant says, that he suspected that Walters mind was | unbalanced Walter incohCrcntly told the | sergeant that the victim was his father, and that William had murdered him for | his money.
 When Walter Accused William.
 "I saw him at o'clock this morning, " said Walter, and he told me that he would be at my house this evening at ( o'clock. You must send some one there and arrest him."
 As he spoke, the sergeant says, he acted more like a maniac than n sane man, and on that account no crcdcnce was given to l his story.
 This is one of the many cOmplaCcnt CX- | plantations which the police have made of their many incomprchcnsiblc acts in this | case.
 All right" said the sergeant, by way of humoring the supposed maniac, "I'll tell the officer on post about it. He can stand outside your gate, and if your broth CT comes, and you think it is necessary tC arrest him, call the officer in
 William did visit his brother that even. ing, but Walter did not make any further effort to have him arrested. According tc hls own statement, he believed that Will | liam had just come rcd handed from his | murdcrOus work.
 He didn't even speak to him of his faith. CTS death Waiam staid to supper, and then left the house to go to bench in Prospect park, where he says he slept that night.
 There are many questions suggested by the above remarkable episode. Why was | Walter so positive that his brother had committed the murder? He says he had seen him that morning at o'clock. Al 3:30, when he saw the body, he cXclaimCt at once, This is William's work"
 Had anything passed between the broth CTS at their interview in the forenoon tha made Walter jump at the conclusion tha his brother was tho murderer? Had Will liam declared that he had killed his faith CT, and did Walter fully expect to find tn, dead hndy when he went to tho house His artionS inside the house. according |, Sergeant Walsh, would indicate that h. did. The policeman says that he shOwet n reluctance to go down stairs. \ hurrict glance about n room was sufficient to SC | whether there was a dead body there, bu | Walter did urt GO ti:;.t.
