CONFLICTING TESTIMONY,
The Gafthersburg Mystery and the
Detpcfiyes' Work.

So far could he asCertained TODAY
thore are no new developments i'm the
GaitherShurg assault case The Buxtons
in the hospital are doing remarkably well,
and there seems to be a lull in the invasti-
gauon. Both colored men are stiIl in
the Baltimore jail although She officers
say they have no proof against Goorse
Neal The Baltimore detectives are 10
longer In the country near the scene OF
the assault, aud their report of the evil
dence obtained will be turned over to the
county officials shortly. Last night States
quarters and conversed with Detective
Horne about the case The officials are
sun hearing Of alleged clues the lat,st
one coming from Hyattsville. This was
told by John Z. Bowles, a colored cOnsta-
hle, who has been watching the move
be a friend Of the prisoner Sidney Ran
dolph.
The identification Of this prisoner. it is
said, is by no means complete. Several
persons reported to have fully identified
him have not even seen him, and their
Identification was done by mears of de-
scrption furnished OF him. SO far as
The Identification by the colGred girl Opera
WaIileld Is concerned, she says entirely
too much. She declares lie Is the man
whom she saw cross the railroad track
on the morning OF the assault, but she
also says he wore the same coat at that
time that he wore when she saw him I'M
der arrest, when, in fact, he did not wear
A coat. She was very particular to say
that he had the coat buttoned about his
neck. The evidence thus far gathered
against Randolph is conflicting but the
officers, feel certain that they have proof
enough to inGict him.
