POSTAL AUTHORITIES
SEEK LETTER WRITER

Yesterday Chief Joseph Martin of the
Gary police department admitted that
officer Newman had received a black
hand letter but maintained that the
whole matter was treated as a joke
He also made the assertion that New
man had received but one letter, when
the current report was that he had
received three.
we had practically forgotten the
matter" said Chief Martin, yesterday.
when Newman happened to make the
remark to several of the Milwaukee po-
lice officers that he received this let
ter. The letter was received by New
man some time ago and he showed it
to me and asked me what I thought
about It, I told him that I did not think
it amounted to much and the matter
was dropped.
Postal Authorities working.
There was but one letter received.
Newman killed some old woman's dog
manner to scare him. 1t is true that
the time for him to live. according to
the letter, expired Sunday but there
has not been the sign of a person that
has been seen designing upon his life.
I do not think that the matter will go
any further"
The admission of Chief Martin yes
terday that Newman did receive black
hand letter was the first time that a
member of the police department would
not evade the question. The police head
would not admit, however, that the
matter was serious, although the pos
tai authorities were notified and asked
to Investigate the matter thoroughly.

He Pinched Niutsche.

Arrived at the laundry Sergeant
Quinlan in laundering tones, and seiz-
ing the trembling Monaghan by the
neck and the slack Of his pants, ex-
claimed. In the name of the people
of the State of Indiana 1 arrest you"
"Who?" gasped the astonished pris-
oner.
.Yere pinched." accommodatingly
elucidated the gallant officer
The prisoner trembled less violently
rs that all? thought 1 was
choked." Niutsche felt of his throat
with a caressing gesture, and his eyes
receded to their normal level as Ser
geant Quinlan's clutch relaxed.
Quinlan noted that his prisoner used
good English.
You killed Elsie sigel didn't you? 20
said Quinlan.
Don't know Elsie. Clark street or
South Halsted?"
Don't be playin' any of yer ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain
on me. The gurrul lived in N'York.
You knew her"
Sergeant Quinlan took him along and
boarded the next car for East Chicago
where Chief Higgins looked the pris-
oner over.
It developed that Niutsche had been
waiter in the Gary hotel, the pro-
prietor of the hosiery bearing him out
in his aIibi. He was released after be-
ing held long enough to establish his
innocence.
Just my luck" said Sergeant ouin-
Ian.

SIM the murder of Elsie Siegel, by
Leon Ling in New York. 5. Niutsche,
an intinerant Monaghan. found it dang

Niutsche was seen entering a Chi

look and American dress, and looked
several ways before he sort of "oozed'
inside the place. Furthermore he was
minus the customary queue which is
wont to encircle the brow of laundry

Amateur spies Him.

An amateur Sherlock Holmes noted
these things in one swift glance. All
said he, but he took pains to say it
under his breath for every fool knows
that only detectives and villains use
the expression, and this amateur sleuth
was foxy
With the smothered ejaculation
sticking in his throat, the amateur
made haste to the nearest phone and
calling up the Indiana Harbor police
station, in hoarse tones, informed Ser
geant Quinlan that the murderer Of
Elsie Siegel was then, even then, in IN
diana Harbor. That he was. in fact, in
the Pennsylvania laundry where he had
gone into temporary seclusion.
Sergeant Quinlan waited to hear no
more, but started on a hot-foot in the
direction indicated. There was nobody
with a deck of cards and an inclina-
ton to play solitaire in Sergeant Quin-
lan's wake when he made his record
run. That is the only reason the pas
time was not INDUCED in with Quin-
lan's coat-tails as the base of opera

Brinkman Family.
THE OCCUPANTS ESCAPE
syectoI 70 tAe RvRNfNo NEwa

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Metuchen, June l0:-Fire early this
morning destroyed a house near this
borough. The building was one Of the
oldest in this section. 1t was estimated
TO be more than 100 years old and was
occupied by the Brinkman family. The
flames gained such headway that the
ne-and-ane-half-story frame structure
was enveloped in flames before its oc-
eupants could save even their clothing,
and they barely escaped unharmed in
their night clothes. They lost every.
thing and were without insurance on
their furniture and furnishings.
The fire started about 3 CLOCK this
morning from some unknown cause, the
occupants all being asleep at the time.
Members of the Brinkman family were
awakened by the smoke and flames
that guttered the structure in a very few
minutes. Both the Eagle Hook q Lad
der Company and the Washington Hose
Company responded to the alarm, but
as the scene of the blaze is about
twenty minutes drive from the centre
of Metuchen, where the fire companies
are located, they were powerless when
the place was reached. The Brinkman
home and all of their belongings, with
the exception Of the night clothes they
had on, went up in smoke before their
eyes.
The house was part Of the estate
of William II. Barr and was fully
covered by insurance. The blaze could
be seen for miles around, but few resi-
dents Of the vicinity went to see 1t burn
1t is located on the southerly side of
the Amboy-Metuchen road, just east of
the Metuchen borough line.
