ing Cash From Newspapers.
1t now turns out that the threatening
letters received 10y Speaker Reed were
bogus and were sent by an impecunjous
amateur detective, who also does some
newspaper work from time to time. In
speCtor Hollinterger detailed Detectives
Boyd and Boardman to investigate the
matter, and learn if possible the name Of
the author.
The detectives visited the Capitol yes
terday and followed Mr.. Reed to the ShOIe-
ham, but for the purpose of asceItaining
the writer OF the letter and not with the
expectatiuu that any personal violence
would be offered Speaker Reed.
The letters in question refer to Mr.
Reeds opposition to Cuban legisla ton in
the House, and warn him that unless ne
ceases his efforts against the struggling
Cuban PATRIOTS his lie may be the PENAL
ty.
Inspector HoIlinberger may order the
arrest OF the amateur detective on the
charge ofvagrancy. Itwas atf1rst thought
that he could be held as guilty Of violating
the United states postal laws, but 1t has
been found that the statutes in question do
not apply to the case. Neither can the Of
fpnse be covered by the laws against
threats.
Detective Boyd has succeeded in fas-
tening tho letter on the amateur detective
iu question, and discovered that he carried
the information to he Washington offices
of the New York Journal and World and
offered to sell it. Also that he discussed
the contents of'the misSives before they
had been received by Speaker Reed.
