Monet Writes of Man Who He Says
Murdered Latimer.
SHERIDAN, TOO, HE THINKS.

Regarding the letter about tire Latimer and Sheri-
dan murders, written by Monet. the Auburn con-
vict. Commissioner Greene said yesterday;
have had this matter carefully investigated ed
fore the District Attorney of Kings County, who
received a similar letter some time gao and In
spector McCusky also received similar letter
about a month ago. The District Attorney OF
went to Dannemora Prison. lie found. after going
into the matter very thoroughly. that there was
nothing he could proceed on
Inspector McCIusky. who was present when the
Commissioner made the statement, said that what
Menet said could not be verified. He said that the
whom Monet accused OF the murder was IN
Long Island City and the police could get him any
time they wanted to.
The inspector thought the writer o; the letter
might have srudge against the man he accused
and was trying to work 1t off, that possibly
he might want a change Of air and hoped to get 1t
by coming to New-York witness.
The following is Monets letter:
