TIE ARBUCKLE MYSTERY.
Police Discredit Dragging Theory
Prisoners Held for Examination.

NEW YORK, November A.-The mys-
terry surrounding the death OF Hon. Frank
p. Arbuckle. the wealthy DEM rite, has
been receiving the utmost attention OF
the detectives of this city ever since the
mans body was found on Thursday
morning. They have been spurred on by
the prominence of the dead man more
than ANYTHING else The detectives nave
been devoting especial attention 10 trac-
ing Mr. Arbuckle's movements from Four
teenth street to the place where he was
found. They have been rather successtul
in their inquiry, and Captain OBrien was
able to announce to-day that the move
ments of Mr.. Arbuckle had been traced
nm TO l o'clock on Thursday morning,
which was only one or two hours before
he was found unconscious and dying.
Captain O'Brien said he was preparing
a statement TO give out regarding the re-
suits Of the detectives efforts He was
asked If Mr.. Arbucke had not gone up
town on the elevated road. He said he
had. This being true, 1t adds credence 10
"a theory that was started this morning
around police headquarters. This Is that
TIE unfortunate man was robbed, If at ALL
at or near the terminus of the elevated
road at Eighth avenue and west l0oth
street. The new theory concerning the
case is that Mr. Arbuckle got on the ele-
waited train alone and fell asleep. 1t Is
thought that he rode 20 the terminus or
the road, and there was aroused by the
guards. 1t is a rather wild place at the
terminus and n spot where well-dresseu
stranger would readily attract attention
from any roughs lettering near. Beng
aroused from sleep. MIR. Arbuckle would
p0nl6 have
been easily robbed without his knowledge
and without causing him to raise an
alarm. He may have walked along in n
stupi0ed way until he fell where he was
found. The excitement of his nights
travelling round. and the quantity or
stirnulants consumed by him would GER
tainly have had a bad effect upon his
heart If it was not in perfect condition,
as has been claimed.
The detectives are inclined TO discredit
any drugging theory. They explain their
disbelief by saying that the manner In
which Mr.. Arbuckle handled his money
rendered drugging unnecessary. He is
said TO have displayed his rolf In every
saloon he visited. Now. that the police
have his movements established up to an
hour before the time he was found dead
the solution Of the case should be simple
and not much longer delayed.
The four prisoners-Stewart, stevens
Davidson. and Menger, were arraigned
before Magistrate Brann, in the Harlem
Police Court this morning They were
represented by Lawyer Samuel Friend.
The police asked that the prisoners be
further remanded without bail, and this
was bitterly contested by Lawyer Friend.
The lawyer finally got into a dispute with
the Police Justice. which ended In his
arrest for contempt Of court Finally
bv an agreement between the magistrate
and counsel. the prisoners were held In
50 900 bail each for examination MONDAY
next The bail not being forthcoming.
they were locked up.
