PHILADELPHIA, November 19.-tspe-
cial)-A dispatch from Williamsport
says: Will there be an arrest made in
the Remington case? That is the ques-
ton That is now agitating the minds of
every one here since the latest develop
mentS.
There is no longer any doubt that
Edward Remington believes that his bro
Their was foully dealt with. although he
denies having authorized the publication
of any such statement of opinion on his
part. and refuses to say anything re-
gardng the tragedy at Newport. Mr..
Remington and Attorney S. Mccormick
had long consultation to-day the
ACCESSIBILITY of going TO Newport and
making charges of murder officially. Mr..
Mccormick said tonight, however, that
no definite step had been decided upon.
but that one might be taken Tomorrow"
