been barren OF results so far. the South

characters which have been so much more
numerous since the strike two years ago.
BaIIew Tired Out
officer Ballew arrived from a long and
discouraging day on. the Rummelhart case
in time to take hand in the search for
Perry. He said he found that the greatest
difficulty in the former case was the multi
tude of descriptions which have been
poured into the police stations. People OF
the city are agitated and frightened and
soon as any one recalls a negro face
on the night of the tragedy he immedia tely
telephones or sends IL in with a lot of
suspicious circumstances as he now recalls
them. Most OF them are doubtless from
a free imagination He said he had some
tips which he has gathered during the
day. which he preferred to keep to himself
until he had some positive proof of the
guilt of the suspects He said: 81 will
not make an arrest until ! know which
way I'm going There win be no iuke
about It,"
In the second case. he said, ne recalled
the fight in the packing house. but had
been given little information at the time
He was too tired to take up the search
last night farther than TO visit the colored
club rooms and make a few inquiries. The
chief and two captains made a search OF
several hours. though all had been busy
during the day.
