day afternoon, than they were on the
afternoon the crime was committed, when
they seemingly paid so little attention to
the case. Clues were as numerous they

He had Just gone," was what the police
said after each search.
Policemen Bassford and Veymillion of the
fourth precinct had an early morning run
In pursuit of a young man whom they
thought was Carr. They saw the man near
the Long bridge and started after him at
once. Recognizing the men in citizens

printing, and jumped the fence Not far
behind him were the officers, but he proved
himself to be good sprinter and managed
to get out of sight. He jumped in brick
wagon near this end of the bridge, and
succeeded in getting on Virginia soil be-
fore the officers could overtake him. Then
he leaped from the vehicle and again took
to his heels. After a long pursuit the Off
GERS arrested him, and he proved to be a
young Baltimorean, who gave his name as
William Gruber.
He was released soon after he reached
the fourth precinct station.

few minutes before II o'clock Inspector
Hollinberger received a message from Con-
stable Barr at Hyattsville giving the in
formation that he certainly had Carr, ard
Detective Weldon was sent out on the
nocn train. When he reached the Mary
land village he found that Detectives Lacy
and Helan had gone out there in a buggy
earlier in the morning, and that Detective
Boyd and Precinct Detective Hartigan
were on the train. The constable there
hau three young men under arrest,
and they were the same parties who were
seen to leave here last night and go out the
Brentwood road.
1t was asserted by the constable this
morning that one of the trio was certainly
Carr, and for this reason the detectives in
the buggy were sent out on his trail.
The three young men Slept in the wait
ing room at Reeves station last night, and
reached Bladensburg about o'clock this
morning. Constable Barr, who had seen
the men before the arrival of the Wash
ington officers, placed them under arrest,
and had them in custody in Justice Carr's
court A casual glance at the three pris-
oners satisfied the detectives that Carr was
not one of them, and young man who
knew Carr well verified their judgment.
Paul Hoffman and William Herbert, two of
the prisoners, said they were from Jersey
City, while Joseph Graham said he belong
ed in Brooklyn.
This amt no way to put blemish on a

'See here, young man." said an officer;
you're lucky not to be sent out to break

you may expect to get arrested"
Frog BuIdwin'x Story.
Policemen Lynch and Herbert of the
sixth precinct and Policeman Henderson of
the second precinct, who know Carr, have
been detailed on the case. and they assist
ed the detectives last night. The young
man known as Frog" Baldwin, who had
been arrested, was released this morning
If his statement is true, the man who is so
badly wanted did not leave the city direct
ly after the crime was committed but was
in his (Barneso house at the time the
latter was arrested by the second precinct
officers.
Lieut. Kelly and Precinct Detective Har-
tigan went across the free bridge to the
house of ex-Policeman David Felt and
searched the house for Carr. They went
there because Carr and son of the ex
policeman were fast friends, and some OF
the former companions of the fugitive
said they thought Carr would be over there,
eitf er in the house or in the woods nearby,
but nothing was heard of him.
Today the ex-policeman called at police
headquarters and assured the officers that
he would lend them any assistance he
could in the investigation.
While the police have no positive idea as
to whether Carr is in the city or whether
he has gone away, most of them are satis-
fled that he was here as late as o'clock
last night, for about that hour citizen
reported today, he met Carr with two
other young men and spoke to him.
Another man located him at 4th and L
streets about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while still another claims to nave seen him
In the stone yard on North Capitol street
only short distance from his house.
Carr's Double.
Although these people are positive they
saw Carr, some of the police think they
are mistaken. There is young man who
lives several squares from the Carr house
on L street, who is the image of the fugi-
tive. and he took care today to make him
self known to the police, fearing some of
them would arrest him at night when a
delay in identification would mean incar-
ceration In police cell for several hours
1t has been learned that about II no
O'Clock the night Of the tragedy Carr was
seen standing near the corner Of Delaware
avenue and II street, 1t Is thought to catch
the late train from the west to New York
On the other hand, 1t Is stated he was
more familiar with the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad between here and CINCINNATI
and some of the officers believe this route
was taken by him, and that If he did not
So all tHe way 10 cincinnati he NAV have
stopped off at some small town on the road
Others are under the impression that he
Is still in this city, and is in hiding in the
house of a friend
With SO many clues and theories to en-
ploy then. the police are completely at
sea in the matter, but every report is be-
ing fully investigated.
1t was stated today that Carr's half
brother. who lives in Georgetown had
received letter from the alleged black
sheep of the family, and that it was post
marked Washington. This letter. 1t is
stated. was shown to the police.
The Cars formerly lived in Georgetown
near the Holy Rood cemetery, where
dairy was conducted.
How They Have Lived.
When Patrick Carr, the father of the
ravisher, died. the mother continued to
keep the little store at 35 L street until she
was burned TO death only few weeks ago.
Since then the boys have remained in this
house and have lived. 1t is stated, by SELL
Ing on the goods in the store.
The house, as heretofore stated. was a
rendezvous for a crowd of young men, who
congregated there, both day and night and
had beer by the keg. The noise made by
them disturbed the neighbors very much;
