A CLUE in SCOTT
MURDER MYSTERY
Pistol Found in Well Near the
Store in Which Killing
Occurred.

Yesterday brought a development which
may or may not mean much in the solu-
ton In the Scott murder mystery.
Policeman Hughes and others, looking
In every conceivable place for the pistol
used In the murder. found one yesterday
afternoon In well In the rear OF the
Scott store Whether or not this pistol
was that used In killing Junlus A, Scott
is now question which the police are
directing all their efforts to solve. 1t is
noticeable that none are inclined to at
tach much Importance to the supposed
development at present Under the d.
rection and instructions OF Captain Shin
berger, In whose district the murder oc-
curred, every inch OF space on the prem
ises and near by has been searched by
police officers. Until yesterday no pistol
was found, On this square are two wells.
one almost directly behind the Scott
property and the other nearer Twenty
seventh Street. AS a last resort Captain
shnberger ordered these to be searched.
In the first nothing suspicious or hav-
Ing any possible bearing on the case was
found. In that nearer Twenty-seyenth
Street small pistol was found by Off
Ger Hughes, of the First District. 1t ia
an old-fashioned affair, single action,
80 calibre,. and was entirely empty.
One point against the theory that 1t
was used to murder Mr.. Scott Is that
no cartridges are found In the chambers.
The police would attach much more Inn
portanca to the find. they say, II but
one chamber WAS empty.
One argument In support of the sup
position is that apparently the pistol
was not long In the water.
The coroner, DR., Taylor. yesterday af-
ternoon. gave the ball which WAS taken
from Mr.. scott's head to Captain Tom
linson. who wished to SEQ II 1t would
