WORK ON NEW CLEW
IN TREASURY PUZZLE
HOUSE OF NEGRO scRuBWoMAN
SEARCHED FOR s173,ooo.
CHICAGO CASE REVIVED
Secret Service Official Declares That
He Found Absolutely No Trace
of the Stolen
Money.

Chicago, April 10.-New interest
was aroused in the recent theft of
$173,000 from the subtreasury when
Capt. Thomas !. Porter, accompanied
by secret service men and city detec-
tives, descended on the building at
254 Ogden avenue Tuesday and began
a search of the premises.
The house is occupied by Mrs. w.
j. Hudson, a negro scrubwoman who
has been employed at the federal
building. Before going to the place
Capt. Porter appeared before United
States Commissioner Mark Foote and
obtained a search warrant
The federal officials refused to dis
close what facts they had discovered
which warranted the search of the Og-
den avenue house, but it is reported
around the federal building that new
clews had been found which led to the
colored woman, and seemed to justify
hasty action.
1t is understood that the woman
had been watched closely for some
time, and when the officials entered
the building they went directly to Mrs.
Hudson's apartments on the second
floor at the rear and locked the doors.
Outside an eager and interested crowd
gathered quickly.
A preacher of the name of Brown,
negro, lived at the home of Mrs.
Hudson for several months. About
three weeks ago he is reported to
have left there. Neighbors say the
negro had always dressed well.
Search of an Hour In Vain.
Capt Porter and his assistants
searched the home of Mrs. Hudson for
over an hour, but were unable to find
any trace of the missing money. They
then returned to the federal building
without having placed the woman un.
der arrest
Capt. Porter previously had sques-
toned Mrs. Hudson, and It is sup.
posed that later developments led tc
his taking the unexpected action OF
Tuesday. The week following the
theft the official went to Mrs. Hud.
sons house, but nothing developed.
He then said he was satisfied there
was no connection between the scrub
woman and the disappearance of the
money.
The woman, who had been en-
ployed in the federal building about a
year, went on duty between five and
six o'clock every afternoon, and at
the time of the disappearance the
theory was advanced that the money
might have been found on the floor
by some subordinate employe. 1t was
in line with this theory that Capt.
Porter at that time questioned Mrs.
Hudson.
81 have been on fishing trip and I
didn't even get bite" said Capt.
Porter Tuesday. 1--WE found absolute.
ly no trace of money and we are no
nearer a solution of the theft than be.
