I'VE are working on Two clues-one on

Is drawing net around the Campbell
woman
"Det ective Field of the Pinkert OH force

wrote to Marx 4 Co., at Springfield, Mo-,
last Wednesday. and expected All answer
to-day. 1t surely should be here tomorrow.
We hope for an arrest Tomorrow
There was a story to-day that a bare
headed man called at f. S. Jafray's house
ON the night of the murder and asked for
hat. Mr.. Jaffray denied the story.
why don't they work up the clue OF the
hat that was found?" said he. THAT seems
TO have been ignored. think it was the
best clue. The whole case has been handled
abomnably.
Il have Just heard that the Rev. Father
Fitzsimmons of Dobbs Ferry had long
talk with John Herernan before he died.
and Heffernan said positively that he did
not know who shot him 1t seems to me
that the idea has been to drag in the names
Of prominent people instead OF running
down real clues
Fatser Fitzsimmons said tonight that
John heffernan said positively that the
man who shot him was a stranger
One o: the interesting developments
to-day was the news that Rufus l.. Sewall
and Z. $. JafYray had subscribed toward
the reward for the capture of Heffernans
slayer. Edwin Gould has charge OF the
reward fund and he is personally soliciting
subscriptions He said tonight.
"We now have &2,t75 subscribed a.
reward. The additions are Rufus l.. Sewall,
500; F. S. Jaffray, $50; II. S. Jafrray, s25.
and F. l.. Eldridge, 500. We are in hopes
this will be an incentive to bring the muir
derer down. am going ahead and soon
hope TO have IS, ZOO subscribed
All sorts of rumors are ahoat. President
Abercrombie's statement that money
wouldn't count makes it appear az though
some one high up" was suspected.
The belief Is common that Sarah Camp
bell. who was with Heffernan when he was
shot, can clear the mystery If she will A
prominent man said to-day
This Campbell woman was detained at
the club for three hours and then sent home
in private carriage, Why wasn't she
sent home on a train? Why was there
so much secrecy the night Of the murder
about her name? No one at the club would
tell it. This woman should be made to
talk"
Supt. C. L. Hale of the Ardsey Club said
on the night OF the murder: II it's the man
we think it is, il is a very mysterious affair.
He was not called TO the witness stand at
the inquest,
Detective Field has nothing TO mpart.

say tonight.
Coroner Russell has not closed the in
quest and is awaiting developments. He
said to-day that he was ready to reopen
it at any time. Detective Field i working
in Tarrytown most of the time He has
obtained from the police the names of the
Campbell womsns friends and he is getting
information that may cause her to talk
further about the case.
The story told to-day that the murder was
committed by diner at the club who had
become slightly intoxicated and had gone
for walk up from the station to where
HefTernan and the Campbell woman We're
and there had got into trouble with Heffer-
nan, gained more credence when President
Abercrombie said that she didn't care for
millions in case of this kind
Coroner Russell said to-day that Hef-
fernan said his slayer looked like MIR.
Hewitt's intended son-n-law, only he was
s,outer" This is a new story.
