 New York, Feb. 13.--Fresh evidence that Max Eglau, the instructor in draw ing in the Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf Mutes in Lexing- ton avenue, between Sixty-seventh and Sixty-eighth streets, was murdered by some one who lives in or knows well the interior of the institution, was found by detectives on the case this afternoon. It is money which it was known Professor Eglau had drawn from the Cooper Institute the day he was killed The detectives found it almost by accident, $136 in a wallet in the eel lar, where it was probably hidded by the murderer who intended to return for it after the investigation had ceased.
 Some one went to the police station early this morning and told the acting captain that blood-stained handker- chief had been found in the attic. The detectives hurried thither and found the handkerchief, but they also found the owner, who satisfied them that she, for 1t was woman, was in no wise con | nected with the crime. While in the attic, however, one of the detectives looked down the elevator shaft and Sug- gested that they should go down the elevator to the cellar, They did SO. l They made a thorough search for the | first time of the place, and found the wallet with the money behind the bin. It had evidently been secreted there; l it could not have been droppe,l, So the i detectives concentrated their suspicion l with renewed assurance on the inside | If the building.
 l In the examination he'd by Magis- | trate Kudlich to-day the detectives, | Farlet and Campbell, were examined at | length, and confirmed in all important particulars the statements already given them and the statements of the | Fitzgerald boys reduced ,3 writing, 1 tending to prove that the cuffs found in the cellar belonged to William Fitz- gerald, the pistol to his brother, and that William said he was taking a walk at the noon hour after leaving the lunch place. On cross-examination Detective other articles found in the blacksmith $ shop were discovered by the watchman 1 Joe" Assistant District Attorney ! Oliver appeared for the prosecution.
 Owing to the way the case was drag 1 ged along and the lateness with which it was begun, the defence was not reached a the morning session, but the 1 witnesses have given statements show 1 ing what their evidence will be. They will probably be reached this afternoon. The morning session ended at 12:S0. 1 Gustav Kohn of No. 1160 Third ave nue will testify positively that William
 Fitzgerald came into his shop to buy coffee and apple cake about 12:05 p. m. on Monday, the day of the murder and stayed fifteen or twenty minutes.
 Timothy Driscoll, the supervisor of
 the Deaf and Dumb Institution, where
 the murder was committed, will testify
 that he was with the boys in the yard between 1925 and 1:05, and that when
 he got them together in line in the boys
 playroom, at one, William and James
 Fitzgerald were both there, as were 1 Pfandler and Wolff, two of the others
 suspected and discharged. William
 came in at 12:40, as Driscoll noticed, be-
 cause the boy sat down on table and
 was told by Driscoll to get off,
 D. l.. Elmendorf, instructor at the in ! stitution, will testify that the boys came
 into his room just after one and nc
 one was missing. They all stayed there
 until 3:30 to his belief
 l The head of the institution, David
 Green, will testify that it would have been easy for an outsider to get up tc
 Eglaus rooms without being seen.
 l The police are now watching a new suspect. The much discussed piece o1
 broken collar button is said to belong
 to this person instead of to one of the l boys as previously reported
