 Not Within His JurisdictiOn--NOthin
 Yet Divulged as to Their Contents.

 This is most extraordinary pro- cedure,' said the magistrate "Who gave you the right to seize the mans papers?"
 We did it in the line of our usual duty said the detective, thinking to find something that would throw light on the case'
 Well. the question as to the papers is not in my jurisdiction said the magistrate, ask your commissioner what to do with them
 The charge of stealing typewriters was dismissed to-day, but Langley was held for further examination next Mon day on the complaint of four men who told the court that the prisoner had ob- tained money from them. Langley was paroled in the custody of his lawyer
 Captain Cowles, head of the local de- tective bureau, stated last night that several days ago he wrote to Captain McCauley, head of the New York de- tective force, to find out, if possible, if there ever had been any business rela- tions between Edwards and Langley as had been reported by a New York newspaper. The seizure of Langley s papers is the result of this request. Captain Cowles said he had heard noth- ing yet as to what the papers 5eized contained. He did not suppose the mat ter would become public, but realized 1t could not be helped when carried into court.
