SHE PICKS OUT THE ExPREssMEN.
Mrs. Currie told Carey the name that tho
man gave her when he hired her room
and by which she knew him while he was
with her. Detective Carey made search
of the ROOM The clothing left behind
consist Of two suits Of understanding
some shirts and collars and suit OF DARK
clothes and some other articles OF clothing
After warning Mrs. Currie not to say
word to anybody-a warning which she
religiously observed-Carey went back 10
Police Headquarters and reported to In
spector McClusky. Gen. Greene was put
into possession Of the facts, and it was de-
cided that Carey and Detective Sergeant
Petrosno should take Mrs. Currie to Roo
neys express stand yesterday morning ana
get her to pick out the men who took the po3
from her house. No efforts were made 10
see the expressmen on Monday night for
fear OF alarming them before the facts IN
their possession were learned, but at I
o clock yesterday morning Carey, fe'ro-
sino and Mrs. Currie went to the fooney
stand, at Thirteth street and Ninth avenue,
where Rooney and six of his men were
standing waiting for their days work TO
begin
Two Of the men who were there we're
pointed out by Mrs. Currie as the men who
had taken the box from her house, and
alongside Of the curb was the very green
bodied wagon in which the Internal machine
was transported. The two men pointed
out by Mrs Curris were very much sur
prised when Carey and Petrosino showed
their badges and said they wanted to have
talk with them.
They were Peter Battle Of 532 West Thir-
tieth street and Joseph Mccormick OF 425
Ninth avenue, and they cheerfully ad-
mitted that they had taken box from
Mrs. Currie's house on Thursday and left
it at the Cunard pier
SURE, I NEVER READ THE PAPERS,
.Then why the devil haven't you said
word about it in all this time, with the
papers full Of it?" asked Carey, whom three
days OF chasing moonshine clues had some-
what e1asperated.
Sure said Battle, Il never read the
papers
Il do, but never seen nothin' wrong in
the papers about taking an ordinary box
TO the Cunard pier said Mccormick.
The detectives then told the two men that
the ordinary box was an internal machine
that contained 100 pounds OF dynamite
Mccormick turned pale.
Say he said, x sat on that box all the
way to the pier Me and Frank Carton.
who lives over on Thirty-frst street and
Tenth avenue, sat on that box all the way.
Saw was there 100 pounds of dynamite in
that box?"
There certainly was said Carey.
Good God" was all that Mccormick
could say for about five minutes.
DESCRIPTION OF g. RossEo."
Very little information was obtained
from either Of the expressmen by the de-
tectives. Not that the men were not will
ing to tell all they knew, but they knew very
little. They did give the detectives de-
scription OF Mrs. Currie's boarder, however.
that fitted exactly with the one given by
Mrs. Clrrie, and is probably very good
one. This Is the description Of the man

pearanoe OF Frenchman, about ~ years
old, s feet . inches tall, and weighing about

has dark hair, and a close-cropped dark
mustaohe. Tho clothes he wore at Mrs.
Ourrie's and when he ordered the express
men to call for the box were a mixed gray
Q black Fedora hat, a black necktie and
rundown collar
STORY OF THE ExPRRssMEN.
The police did not give out any Of the
information obtained from the expressmen,
but Rooney's men were not unwilling to
tell al they knew when Sun reporter saw
them yesterday afternoon. Mccormick,
with Battle standing beside him and agree
Ing with all he said. gave this account Of
the affair:
1T was about o'clock Thursday after
noon when We were standing here on the
corner waiting for call. This man came
down Ninth avenue from Thirty-frst
street, walks up to us and says
he's got a box around at Mrs. Cur
RES boarding house which he wants
taken to tho Cunard pier. I said to him
that wasn't sure knew where the Cunard
pier was and he says: oh, it's Pier 81, you
can find that, can't your told him l
thought we could find it all right, and he
says: Well, 60 get the box at once. The
lady will give 1t to you Manner says
Battle. oh. never mind. says the man.
No names necessary. The lady knows
about tho box
Is CENTS 10 SIT ON 100 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE.
He says he doesn't think the Job is worth
moro than q quarter, and losses a 25-cent
pieoe over to Battle. Say. what do you think
OF that? A quarter for two men. and one
Of them sitting on 100 pounds OF dynamite
for q two-mile driver Well. we went around
and got the box.

the only other thing I saw in the room
outside OF q bed, bureau. q table and
chair, was trunk which was In the middle
OF the room. This here box was behind
tho door. Say, 1t makes me shake when l
think how we pitched that thing around.
