intimation Of the progress made In
the inquiry could be obtained, Coroner
Mix and the detectives, who are asaist-
ing him, are practically at n loss FOR
further clues In the case. The coroner,
however, has given no sign Of dis
couragemeut over the battling situn-
tion, and he started In for the fourth
day Of the investigation with I'M
diminished energy. The search for
the weapon with which the murder
was committed went on to-day, a gang
Of workmon continuing their in

the theory that the murderer. 40

posed Of the revolver by dropping ID In
a sewer pocket. The catch basin at
the corner Of Temple and Wallace
streets was opened today, and search
was made there.
The fact became known today for tho

some reason 10 think that Mr.. Edwards
vas not shot as he lay IN bed In the
guest chamber, whore his body Was
found, but that be wna carried into

placed in the bed. This theory is
based on the discovery OF several blood

on the other stocking. The Inference
which the detectives have dawn 10
that the man was carried from another
room 90 she guest chamber after tho
shooting and that the left foot trailed
