BOY,S STORY DISBELIEVED.
Working on Another Clue in Henernan
Murder Case.

TARRYTowN, N. Y, June 5.-The murder
Of John Heifernan is as great a mystery as
ever. The story tol d by Rudolph Brerely,
the fifteen-year-old caddie, is not wholly
believed by the detectives.
Philip Brady who knew Sarah Campbell
and who was seen with her ON the night
after the murder, published the following
in the Tarrytown Eevs to-day:
Il deny that have been a special friend
OF Sarah Campbell. knew her but slightly.
l warn all detectives and reporters to leave
me alone and keep away from my home
and business"
Brady has been brought into the case be-
with the Campbell woman. The night OF
the murder he was seen at the Tarrytown
station when the train arrived that brought

say he was with them al the time the shoot
ing took place.
The Pinkerton detectives took William
Paskett to New York to-day TO see II he
could find in the rogues gallery picture OF
night of tho murder. John W. Free OF
Widely street says a man answering the
description Of the murderer came to his
home on the day after the murder ard asked
his wife for a handkerchief. The police be-
lieve Heffernan injured the man,who wanted
the Handkerchief to dress his wounds
The police are inclined to believe the story
that the crime was committed by man
who was selling court plaster. There are
many such men about who travel at night.
Two such men were seen in Dobbs Ferry
on the day of the murder. One was tall
and thin and the other had only one arm.
The police are trying to locate this pair. =.
Brady was taken before Coroner Russell
tonight and asked about statement he
is said to have made that the son Of we'll
known publisher had shot Heffernan. Brady
denied that he had ever said that, but adj
mitted that when asked he had said he
thought that the description of the man
who shot Heffernan answered that OF The
publishers son. The Coroner decided that
his evidence didn't amount to much. and
let him go.
