Jerome in Case.
Another development was the cali
ing into consultation by United States
District Attorney Stimson of William
Travers Jerome, district attorney for
the county of New York. Mr.. jerome
indicated he might make an investiga-
tion of his own.
Although the only witness examined
was E. NJ Engelman. an employe of
news association. who is said to have
furnished the data upon which the al
legged libelous articles were based, the
presence OF two secret service men
from Washington with a mass of doc
uments gave rise to all sorts of ru-
mors, one of which had TO do with the
possible bringing by the government
of an action for criminal conspiracy.

New York, Jan. 20.-The mystery
