CLUES ALL WORTHLESS.
Paterson Police Completely in
the Dark About Miss Sui
livan's Murder.
Special to the Jersep Cftu Ne,rs.

PATTERSON, March II, 1S96.-After a
weeks work on the Sullivan murder
Chief Graul admitted this morning that
the police are in practically the same
position as they Were on the morning af-
ter the murder was discovered. The high
water mark in the excitement has been
reached, and agitation over the affair in
this city has noticeably decreased. The
police have not. however, diminished in
their activity. The few clews which have
presented themselves have been carefully
followed up and ndo when found
to be worthless.
Captain Graul made a careful fnvestiga-
ton of the story that Miss Sullivan had
been killed by an ex-convict, Arthur fl.
Kreyssig, who supposed that the dead
woman was his wife. It was said that
kreyssig had written a letter to his wife,
from whom he has been separated,
threatening to kill her unless She return
ed to live with him. Kreyssig recently
returned to this city after an absence
of three years. and secured employment
at a saloon on Ramapo avenue.
He had not bothered his wife nor sent

received a threatening letter from her
husband, and also denied that there was
any bitter feelings between them suffi-
Gent to cause her husband to strike her.
On last Wednesday night she rode in
a trolley car from her home in Paterson
avenue, Totowa, to Park avenue and
Vreeland streets, and returned in the
same way. Vreeland street is at least
a half mile from Eighteenth street and
Park avenue, where Miss Sullivan was
murdered, and it is not likely that any
one wishing to attack Mrs. Kreyssig
would have lain in wait for her at hat
point.
Chief Graul agrees with Thomas Sulli-
van. the father of the dead girl, in think
ing that Miss Sullivan was assaulted
twice, once perhaps a few blocks away,
and that her assailant might have feared
that she had recognized him and then de-
cided to attack her again. This theory
was the one which the party OF boys had
been playing with and left where the
murdered happened upon it when look

been committed by Recorder Senior for
thirty days for disorderly conduct. His
lawyer, William Rysdyk, it is said, will
apply to Supreme Court Judge Dixon in
Jersey City for Coles release ON a writ
of habeas corpus.
1t is probable that since Cole has salts

Wednesday night that Recorder Senior
will discharge MIN on the disorderly con-
