but al the Jail he stated that he was q
brother of Lewis and wrote that name
on the visitors book. at the hotel where
he is stopping. the name on the register is

quarters he told the detectives that Green
stinc was his right name and that the man

who had assumed that alias when arrested.
Later he denied that the knock OUT

sent here To look after the interests OF th e
two men by the sister of one, who lives in
Binghamton, n. Y.
This sister, he stated, is manager of
dance han and theater in that city. Her
business must be a very profitable one,
as she has sent Greenstne over $3.50
during the four or five days he has been
In this city.
SHE SENDS HIM MONEY.
The detectives have in their posse ssiou
n telegram which reads as follows:

the detectives and questioned closely. lie
told several conflicting stories and seemed
Ill at ease under the searching examination
OF the officers. AT present the police have
nothing criminal against the man, but they
arrested him on suspicion.
The police are also looking for two
ha ndsomcly dressed women visited the
imprisoned men twice last week. Detect
ives Horne and Weldon have their de-
scrption and spent good part of yesterday
hunting the town for them.
The women are described by the people
at the jail as about twenty-five years
old. fashonably dressed, wearing consid-
cradle jewelry, and giving the keepers
the impression that they were people of
some Importance.
SAW THEM IN JAIL.
They went to the jail first on Thurs
day and asked to see Lewis. Only one
went In at first and she signed the book
as Mrs. f. Cobb, New York" She re-
mained with the prisoner about an hour
while the other waited outside. When
Mrs. Cobb returned the second woman
asked TO see Nelson. She said she was
Miss Lillian Leighton of New York, and
close friend OF the imprisoned man. She
also remained some time with the prisoner
and only left when requested by the Of
ficials.
on Saturday morning the woman giving
her name as Leighton returned and again
asked for Nelson. This time she said she
was his wife and claimed to have been
sent to tie jail by the lawyers. The po-
lice think that ii they could find these
women new light might be thrown on
the case and additional evidence secured.
SO far their quest has been fruitless and
the detectives are fearful that they have
left the city. Late yesterday afternoon

been engaged BY Lewis and Nelson 10 de-
fend them. went To police headquarters
ana left $50 collaboration GreenStine, who
was released. Detectives Horne am
Weldon are still at work ON the case ana
