PURSUING THE CLUES.
Officers Still Searching for Fugitive
Dorsey FouItz.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
HARPER'S FERRY. w. Va, July 90
The Washington officers who have been
here since Tuesday afternoon looking for
Dorsey Foultz, the fugitive murderer, were
busy this morning following up supposed
clues furnished them by people here. One
of thase clues related to a colored man en-
ployed at a hotel several miles from here.
Another located the supposed Dorsey
Foultz in the neighborhood of Halltown.
The officers failed to obtain anything of
value at either place Unless they obtain
some more definite information than they
have thus far secured here they will re-
turn to Washington tonight.
1t is certain that the man who was seen
on Byrnes' Island Monday by the Washing
ton colored man has gone to another part
of the state.
Inspector Boardman said this afternoon
that he had received no information today
from Detective Watson and Policeman
Bremmerman, who are at Harper's Ferry
investigating the report that Dorsey Foultz
was seen there Monday. William H. Book
er, who furnished the police the informa-
ton, told Star reporter this afternoon
that he could not possibly be mistaken in
the man he saw at the picnic on Byrnes'
Island Monday. He said he was well ao-
quainted with the fugitive murderer, and
he is only sorry he made his discovery
known before communicating with the Of
hcers Foultz, he said, came upon him SO
suddenly that he spoke to him Familiarity
without giving the matter thought

WILL PLEAD GUILTY
Harry POstIewaite Wants to Set Into
the Pententiary at Once.

nv
Harry Posthlewaite, the Wichita boy who
killed W. c. Boyd, butcher, at Huchin-
son, at the instigation of an attorney
named Clark, viii plead guilty at the pres
ent term of court in Reno county and re-
ceive his sentence TO the peniteniary. At
the beginning Of this term he appeared in
court and with the attorneys for the state
and defense had the case continued until
the next term. This does not deprive him
of the privilege Of pleading guilty should
he desire to do so.
The long confinement, although it has
not changed his appearance very much,
has been pretty hard on his constitution,
and the want Of exercise has begun to tell
On him. When he was at court the exer-
ton Of climbing the stairway to the room
was about as much as his strength was
equal to. He is becoming more despond-
ent lately and it is cry probable that he
VIII ask to come into court and plead
guilty before the close of the January
term. If he should do this ne will be sent
to the penitentiary at once and will there
get the exercise of which he is much in
need. From his view, the sooner he gets
in the sooner he will get out. His attorney
has not stated that this viii be done, but
from facts learned Of Harry Postleth-
waite's condition, there is little doubt that
the case viii be disposed of by his own
request in the near future.
Tn Clark case, in which Harry Postleth-
waite is the main witness. is before the
supreme court and decision will not be
handed down before the March term.
