the detectives. Mr.. Friend was waiting ne

QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
Assistant District Attorney Mitchell. who has
charge of the case in the Distrct-Attorneys Of
fee returned to the city yesterday. He had
been in New Hampshire several days. attending
the funeral Of a brother. He did not know when
the Grand Jury would take up the case. but ana
not believe Il would be wise 70 ma an lndlct-
ment until after the question OF 1urisdlctioh was
settled He. however. was emphatic In SAYING
that the law was plain on the subject ana tha'
either county had jurisdiction. II was the gen
eral belief at the District-Attorheys once tlia'
the murder case would be tried In this county
as the county of Queens has not any too much
money to spend a prosecution or TINS KIND
1t is also thought that District-Attorney ouHgs'
of Queens will allow the case to remain IN
New-York County II the law VIII permit Dur
ing the afternoon District ATTORNEY 1ouhss hau
a consultation with District-Attorney oCotl oil
this matter Of jurisdiction. The matter was not
finally settled and another conference VIII be
held to-day When the Grand Jury adjourned
in the afternoon the case had not yet been pre-
''''e TO DRAG FOR THE HEAD.
Acting Inspector OBren summoned Captain
Schultz. who has charge Of the Harbor Police, to
HEADQUARTERS yesterday afternoon. He wished
10 give instructions for dragging the river FOR
the missing head with its covering of plaster
of paris OBren wanted the search TO begin at
once but after the consultation II was de-
cided that the effort should be put on uh'i' ,s
morning Then the police boat Patrol with
three barges will start up the East ftlNer AT
10 o'clock If the head is not found by O'Clock
in the afternoon, there VIII be a 1ouLtn oais e
put at work, which is now under repairs. ACT
ing INSPECTOR O'Brien Is not at all sure Where
The head was thrown into the river. but as the
work will be begun at Thirty-fourth-st.' ne eNi-
Captain Schultz, who has had considerable ex-
perience in dragging waters. has not much faith
that the missing head win be picked up Win 'ne
chance He is under the impression that the
head could not have been heavily coated with
the plaster and if such is the case me plaster
may have cracked This will give chance Tor
the hooks to work The idea Of the head being
thinly coated comes from the fact that small
portion of the plaster OF Paris was f0uhd III the
Woodsde house. under the bathtub Inere
was only a small quantity there. and the polce
do not believe that much was taken to the
house. ,, l..
educator OF Brooklyn, in speaking OF the blood
thirstiness of the murderer of Guldensuppe said:
1T is a singular thing that Martin Thorn, or
Martin Torzewsti. rather should have come from
