broken, the other was ready for use.
One blackjack was made OF long
piece OF rubber, into which piece OF
lead had been fitted. AT the end was
a bag filled with lead and sand.
Search for a Brakeman.
A widespread search was begun to-
day for a man who II is believed VIII
be an important figure in clearing up
the mystery. He is Fred Elliott, q
former railroad brakeman, and who
was with Whitmore on the day of the
tragedy and for several days after

he cannot control his emotions. He
