THE sTURTEvANT MYSTERY.
The Murderer, Though Regarded a Novice,
Battles the Detectives.

Medford Mass, May 1.-TWO ciews. consid-
cred bv the police of considerab BILE weight. in
connection with the Sturtevant murder, held
the attention of the officials to-day. One was
that the man who killed Miss Sturtevant did
not pass along Winthrop-st.. as has been held
previously but that he crossed Winthrop-st
and turned down North-st.. and made his es-
cane through Middlesex Fels Park reserva-
ton, with little danger of being seen. The
other clew was not disclosed, but the police ad-
uitted to-day when these two clews were run
down that the authorities would be at a stand
still unless something new developed.
The search for the bag taken by the muir
derer is continued. Almost every inch of terri
tory in the vicinity Of the Sturtevant house
and for some distance in every direction, has
been secured in vain. The conclusion has been
reached that the man. though considered a
novice in crime, because of his ready and in
discriminate of his revolver. was sharp
enough to seize the Importance of the satchel
as evidence against him, and took good pains
to destroy or hide il.
