Shaw. chief of the Massachusetts dis
trict police, today received two tele-
grams from a Colorado sheriff named
Barr. and from their contents il is
believed here that the Colorado Of
fcials think they are on the track of
John SchidlOfSka, who is wanted by
the Massa chusetts authorities in con-
uectiOn with the murder of his wife at
Belmont on Wednesday night The
kilograms were transmitted through
Chicago, and in both cases the name
OF the city or town where they were
filed were omitted, but it is known
that they came from Colorado. The
wording of the two kilograms was al
most Identical In them Sheriff Barr
asked if Schidlofska was wanted by
the Massachusetts authorities, the
amount OF reward offered for his cap
ture. and there was q request for e
full description Of the fugitive. Chief
Shaw personally is inclined to doubt
that the Colorado officials are on the
track of the right man. The chief
said that so much publicity had been
given the case that the fugitive had
undoubtedly left the train on which
he is said to have started for Los
