All sorts of rumors concerning
3 M Jones, the murderer, have been
going the rounds today. He has
been located in various parts OF the
island but the reporte, when run
down, proved the veriest canards.
Early in the forenoon the police had
what seemed to be reliable inform
alton that the man was seen in Nuu-
anu valley. Officers we're despatched
to the place and also into Pauoa
valley, but no trace Of the murderer
could be found. This afternoon it
was commonly rumored that Jones
has been captured by Chris Holt at
Makaha. This report, although
widely circulated was STAN ped by
the police as a canard.

that the officer was long in coming,
