With Assistant bIstriet Attorney Elder.
The latter almost lost his breath when he
read Matinee e" braHen advertisement. and
he told Supt. Preston and Chief Officer
Frank Folk, who had accompanied his
chief, that no stone should he loft unturned
b run down the author Of the personal
The Assistant District Attorney pointed
out 10 the society that they would have 10
exercise great care and judgment In running
down their man and that II would be inn
possible for them TO employ a live decoy,
a. they might be accused Of ~compounding
a felony in that case. IL was decided hat
there was no hope OF getting the personal
writer on a charge Of abduction, but hat h
could be arrested on a charge OF attempted
abduction IL he could be caught in a way
that would involve an admission that he
was the author Of the advertisement.
A clerk In the Brooklyn 8. p. c. c. Office
was found who could write what seemed TO bo
O clear feminine hand, and the following
was sent to Matinee
DEAR MATINEE. HERALD: In the personal
column OF the Herald | see that you want
q young girl companion and secretary. At
nrst | was afraid to answer; then 1 made
up my mind to do so. l am said to be pretty

TO come. If you think ! will do, could meet
you any day about noon, | hope l may
see you. MISS DOROTHY L. HICKS.
General Delivery. Brooklyn.
Miss Genevieve Hayden" also wrote a
letter of about the same tone. There must
have been something taking about this
last letter to the advertiser, or maybe the
name struck his fancy, for he replied to il
first. Here is the reply:
DEAR MISS HAYbsv; n you care to meet
and talk over engagement as per Matinee OF
Herald answer andI will DO at my apartment,
s57 Jay street, from io.so to IL noon. Let
tne know by return mail IL you will meet me

s57 Jay street. Brooklyn. y. Y.
Miss Hicks didn't get a reply until
Friday. From the letter it would appear
that Matinee" or Harry Norton" was in
hopes of meeting "Genevieve Hayden"
but that in case he failed he would meet
Miss Dorothy Hiciis.' The letter to the
latter follows:
MY DEAR MISS HIcKs-Received your
answer to my Herald personal signed
Matinee" If you care to meet me to-mor-
row. Saturday. in front of the Brooklyn P. o.
at noon, l will be there waiting. We can
then talk over matters for a few. minutes.
You will recognize me wearing a light suit,
black derby hat. reading paper and holding
my handkerchief in my hand. Will stand
In front OF the main entrance on the steps.
Yours. MATINEE.
The gay Miss Genevieve Hayden" got a
letter off post haste to Harry Norton"
She would meet him as requested on Satur-
day. Yesterday morning 1t was decided
that 1t was about time to take the police
into the affair, and Cant. Bill Shaw of the
Adams street station was consulted. Agent
Folk, the captain and his two detectives, |
Carberry and Mahon, were hid near the
Jay street house at IL O'Clock when a short,
thick set man OF about 40 years and dressed
In a light suit came along and sat on the

The agent OF the society and the police
recognized the man. 1t was Christopher

with offices In the Temple Bar Building.
All hands recognized Burns, who is some

Burn didn't know the two detectives,
although they recognized him. With Agent
Folk and Capt. Shaw remaining in heir
hiding place, the two. sleuths went to the
stoop and approaching Burns, addressed
as Norton
They said they wished to see him about
something and as II was quite public on the
street, they suggested that they ak over
