CADDIE BOY SAW
HEFFERNAN SLAYER
Rudolph BrereIy Corroborates Story
of Sarah Campbell.

TARRYTOWN, n. Y. June 5.-There
was an important development in the
Reffernan murder case last night when
Rudolph Brerely, caddie boy at the
Ardsley Club. was brought forth by Cor
oner Russell as a witness to the shoot
ing, and his testimony completely clears
the Ardsley Club and nearby residents OF
all connection with the murder and also
apparently proves that Coroner Russell
has been right in his opinion that it was
the sequel of highway robbery.
The reason the boy has been quiet is
that his mother ordered him to keep his
lips closed He came home the night of
the murder. and told her all about it.
This IS his story:
Il missed my train, as I had been play
ing with the rabbits at the clubhouse
went down TO the station to get the
9:28 train, and got there about ten
minutes TO nine l saw the Campbell
woman get off the train and saw Heffer-
nan meet her. They walked up the path
toward Hewitt's place, and a few
minutes later l saw a man sneak up on
the other side of the tracks and cross
over. Then l heard the pistol shots, and
ran away because I was afraid"
The boys description of the man
tallies with that given by Sarah Camp
