are strongly Of the opinion that there

With reference to the alleged identiiica-

been seen on the Waverley car, State De-
tective Neal said that. although he had
not yet seen him, the passenger had been
found and he corroborated the story of
the conductor in regard To Mason being |
IL passenger on the 10.2S trip.
The detective said he knew the name
and address Of the passenger and before |
the day was over he would see him but |
until that time, following the policy OF |
the state police, no further information |
in regard to his identity would be given
out. 1t WIS stated, however that Con-
dlctor Brown himself had succeeded in
locating the passenger and had convers-
ed with him about the incidents OF that
Saturday night and the passenger fully
recalled them.
One reason for the delay in locating
the second passenger was that the
Street Railway Co. had transferred
Conductor Brown To the Newton line
and this prevented him from coming in
contact with the much wanted passcn-
ger.
