The murderers of officer Charles Maver,
who was shot in the rear of Jessrang's
saloon, at University and Harrington
avenues, Friday night, are still at large,
but Chief O'Connor expressed a hope last
night that the clues which he has in his
possession will lead to their apprehen-
sion in a short time. There were rumors
yesterday that the police had made some
arrests in connection with the crime, but
these were denied at headquarters, as
we'll as the sub-stations. It was claimed
by some who profess to know, that the
police unearthed another clue yesterday
that may aid them considerably in getting
the burglars. Chief OConnor said last
night that there were no new develop
ments in the matter to be given out to
the press, but further than this he would
not talk. The detective force was kept
busy during the entire day and part of
the night on the case.
Coroner A. w. Miller yesterday swore
in the coroner's jury, after which he took
its members to the scene of the murder.
The inquest will be held at the county
morgue at o'clock this afternoon, and it
is rumored that some sensational facts
may be brought out
