This letter was returned to Assistant

STILL WORKING ON
MURDER MYSTERY
Officers Believe They Have
Key Which Will Unlock
Drew Case.
LIKELY THEORY PROPOSED.
TO ELOPE WITH STRANGE MAN
WHO PREVAILED UPON HER TO
DRIVE WITH HIM.

Troy, n. Y, July 1S.-District At
torney Jarvis P. O'Brien, with a
score Of detectives are showing re-
markable activity in attempting to
solve the Hazel Drew murder mys-
terry. They are tracking the person
who took the life of the pretty gov
erness. The attorneys statement
today that he knows who killed the
girl leads to the belief that the case
is in more satisfactory condition for
the ultimate melting out of justice
to the murderer than at any time
since the girls bruised body was
found in the dark waters of Teal pond,
ten miles from this city.
Coupled with this declaration of the
district attorney is the evidence of re-
newed activity on the part Of the de-
tectives on the case. Not only are
they searching and researching every
trails they have uncovered have led
several to seek in Schenectady a
young man with whom it is declared
the 19-year-old girl was seen a few
hours before her lifeless body was
thrown into the lonely pond.
The detectives have been detailed to
work out the theory that the young
man and girl had planned to elope
and that trip to Sand Lake had pre-
coded their intended departure for
New York. Anonymous letters which
despite their lack of signature, appear
to have been written in good faith by
persons fearful of being dragged into
the case, have given the police this
clue.
The belief of the detectives is that
Hazel Drew met her sutton by ap-
pointment at the union station in
Troy on the afternoon of July It'll,
ready to elope. They believe that he
prevailed upon her to check her suit
case and go with him for a drive in
the country. That she accepted is
evidenced by the statement of Mr..
O'Brien, who admits that one of the
four anonymous letters contains the
statement:
Hazel Drew met man at the de-
pot. They drove to Averill park. He
returned in a delivery wagon after
midnight"
Further than to admit this the dis
trict attorney will disclose nothing of
the contents of theletters.
Creditable witnesses have been
found who tell Of having seen Hazel in
the streets of Troy on the afternoon of
both July and 7. District Attorney
O'Brien says it is therefore reason
able to accept the theory that Hazel
spent the night of Monday, July 6, in
Troy. Where she slept is a mystery.
In its solution the detectives believe
is key which may unlock the door

AMERICAN SPIRIT OF DO OR DIE
-SHERIDAN WINS.

London, July 1S.-Despite the in
Vulnerable obstacles placed in their
way by t ehunblushing and narrow
minded British Olympic committee,
the American team contesting in the
fifth olympiad at the Stadium at Shep-
herds Bush, this afternoon, gallantly
fought its way up to even terms with
the Englishmen. The commendable
accomplishment was effected by great
work of versatile Martin Sheridan, the
crack New York weight man, who
took first in discus, Greek style. But
England then came along thereafter
with a walkover in the 5000 meter
steeple chase and five mile run, which
with the fiasco in tug Of war, boosted
the British score by % points and
again put the British away out in the
lead.
No anxiety is felt by the Americans,
however, as the steeple chase and the
five mile run were practically assured
the English before the start. The dis
Gus was simply made to order for the
big Gotham policeman. Not once did
he have to extend himself TO lay the

never once pushed, he hung up a new

DIVINE BUSH A
$4,000 PLAYER
President Watkins of Indian
apoIis Values His Play
er Highly.
ST. LOUIS MAY GET HIM
SAID THE YoUNGsTER PLAYING
WITH RICHMOND A SHORT TIME
LAST SEASON, CAN MAKE GOOD
ANYWHERE.

Did you, Mr.. Fan, when you saw
Ownie Bush cavorr1ng around Athlet-
ic park last fall in a Richmond uni
form, realize that you were witnessing
the cavortings of a $4,000 beauty?
Well, if you didn't have such reali,
cations you should have had them be-
cause President Watkins of the Indian,
apolis club, for which outfit Bush is
PLAYING sensational ball, values the lit
tie shortstop at that figure.
Does anybody else think Ownle is
worth $4,000?
Yes, st. Louis sporting writer
thinks he is worth every bit Of that
amount The St Louis National
League club is told to go down in its
pocket and pay the cool ten thousand
for the youngster.
Bush probably will be member of
major league club next year, and the
club offering the highest price will get
him. The management OF the Indian
apolis club will not stand in the way
of any player who has chance to bet
ter his condition.
With the exception Of the $1,000
paid by the New York Giants for pitch
err Marquard never has as much as
$4,000 been paid for minor league
player, but there have been few sensa-
tons in the minor leagues the equal
of the Indianapolis speed marvel.
Should Make Good Anywhere.
If it were known that Bush could
play the same game in one of the big
leagues that he has played in the
American Association, he would be
dirt cheap at the sum named. He would
be cheap at any price.
But can he, could he do it?
There is no reason to believe ne
could not. 1t is not a bigger step to
the National League from the Amerl'
can Association than it was from the
Central League to the A. A. He came
to the Indianapolis club after one year
as a minor Lacquer, and now he is
more talked about than any other
Young player in the country. He mas
played rings around ex-maJor leaguers
now in the A. A., who are rated al
most good enough for any company.
