NO ONE SAW CHILD
WITH MURDERER
Police Satisfied That Such Evidence
Can Never Be 0btained-Track-
ing Slayer Is Difficult.

1t Is almost fOregone conclusion
now." says Poiice Captain Alphonse
Baker. that We shall not be able Ia
find anyone who saw little Helen
Brown and her murderer together, Oh
the night OF the crime. Every efrort
has been made TO locate some such
person, but all have proven futile
Which goes to show how hard II will
be 10 get any definite evidence against
the fellow, in that particular case
even should We succeed In landing
him. The solution of the Brown mur-
der evidently must come from other
women or girls who have been as
saulted, perhaps By the slayer o.
Helen Brown. Some OF those women
may be able to give us the clue that
will lead to the solution OF the Jones
ST. murder"
Capt Bakers men are still search
ing anxiously for the two young wo-
men who saved the little Van Volken
burg girl from the clutches OF Il man
who was dragging her along Second
ave. near Porter-st.
Hundreds OF clues. tips and suspic
lous circumstances. but not one thing
that is AT all definite, or even promis-
ing says Lieut.. OF Detectives Elias
Baker, who with Lieut. Fenton. Is In
charge OF the case.
I'VE have run down every clue that
has been given us. We will run down
all that come in hoping that one OF
them may put us on the right track.
Nothing definite at all, says Chief
Of Detectives Mcdonnell. I'VE are do
ing all that W, can do, but We are In
the dark. so far"
Every one OF the drivers of the
Whitman Carriage Co. in whose yard
the little body was found early last
Saturday morning. has been brought
In and questioned as sharply as
though he might be possible sus-
pect. Every person tipped or as
possible suspect'has ben taken To the
detective bureau and quizzed.
Glenn G. Firestone was put through
a regular system OF grilling. but salts
fed Chief Mcdonnell of his Innocence
BENJAMIN Smith, Firestone's friend
and roommate In the same house In
which Helen Brown had lived for a
month. declared that he was with
Firestone that evening and night.
Then he was brought in and put
through the sweat box.
Another roomer at the house AT NO.
27l Third-st.. furnished a tip about a
former roomer, who left the house
some time ago. The tip was 70 the ef-
feet that he had been known to rough
ly handle little Sena Firestone. who
IS IA years old The informant him
self was closely questioned by Chier
NJ Mcfsonnell. He wore broad-toed shoes,
a brown overcoat. and has bushy
mustache.
Those three elements appeared In
the separate and disjointed descrip
lions OF the man seen proving about
that neighborhood The man satisfied
Chief Mcdonnell OF his innocence and
was not held.
In spite OF the fact that nothing im'
portant has SO far been accomplished
by the police, none can accuse them OF
chirking In the work OF tracing the
murderer. Not one OF the men on the
case has shown the slightest indica-
ton OF tagging interest. Every one
IS doing his utmost Far from oelhg
discouraged on account OF the nnmeT'
Gus false scents" which have been
offered they are anxious for tips on
the case. and each one, no matter nov
apparently remote, is given attention.
