SHUM MURDER CLUES.
Five Men Under Arrest and One On
der Surveillance.

NEW YORK, August 23.-Several i'm
portant clues touching on the murder of
Mrs. Lena Shum, widow. twenty mine
years old, who was found dead in her
apartments at 1000 Flushing avenue, Will
liamsburg. Tuesday night, were furnished
TO the detectives at work on the case yes
terday. One of these was from woman
living In Melrose street whose rear win
dows were close to the rear windows Of
the widows rooms.
This woman told the police that late on
Sunday night, the night of the murder,
she saw strange man moving around in
the widows apartments. She watched
him. and it was alleged she saw the
stranger go into the widows bedroom and
move his hands and arms as though he
We're striking somebody. From the de-
scription of the man given by this woman
1t seems likely that he was the man whom
neighbors saw leaving the Flushing ave-
nue. house early Monday morning. The
man was about thirty years old and dark
compleXioned.
Another clue which the police thought
might help them in their investigation
concerned an Italian who was acquainted
with distant female relative of Mrs. Shum
named Minnie Springer. twenty-five years
old. who up till last Thursday had lived
with the widow. Because Mrs. Shum OBJ
jected to the Italian there was quarrel
between the widow and the young woman
and the latter changed her quarters to a
furnished room on Myrtle avenue, where
she is now. The police last night had the
Italian under surveillance.
il was said yesterday that while datec-
tiVes in the early morning were searching
the widows apartments they found three
empty pocketbooks The incident led them
to believe that after the woman was killed
the murderer also robbed her.
There are five under arrest
but no evidence to connect any of the pr.s-
oners with the murder has been found by
The police.
