ing out to Kalihi; last night they had
an adventure at Palama. But they
didn't get Anderson Grace, the escaped
murderer.
Despite the nonsuccess of the police
thus far in locating the negro criminal,
the chase is getting warmer and more
interesting. Although the reports that
have come in have never resulted in
anything, at the same time they have
been persistent in coming in from one
district, Kalihi, or neighboring vicini.
ties In nearly all the cases an hour
intervened between the time the infor
mants were supposed to have seen Grace
and the time that the police arrived on
the scene, owing to the delay in get
ting the news to headquarters, and if
the negro really had been seen he
would have had time to get out of the
immediate neighborhood. McDuffie is
not inclined to believe that Kalihi now
furnishes retreat to the negro and ac'
counts for the numerous reports from
that district by the fact that there are
a number of Porto Ricans there who
might be thought by excited imagina
tions to bear resemblance to Grace
Chief McDufie had the evening all
planned out yesterday when the sheriff
received information in the afternoon
that upset his calculations A negress
came to the sheriff and told him that
a man who looked like Grace had been
seen around a house in Palama directly
in back of a house where McDuffe
used to live.
1t might be added that McDuffie re
ceived information yesterday that il
rather startling and which will be acted
upon probably tonight. Among othel
things he learned that the negro is sup
posed to have told someone since hi,
escape that he is out solely to "get'
McDuffie, Mackall and Straus.
AS Grace must still believe that Nc
Duffie is living in his old place il
Palama, the story was given more ere
dence; as the house where he was re
ported to have been was considered b,
the police to be an ideal place for him

connoitered, and after sizing up the
situation sent in a hurry call for NOR,

In a few minutes there were eighteen
men on the scene, and the house, whicl
is set back in a big vacant lot full Of
trees, was surrounded and they moved
| up to it in a body. If Grace had beer
there he could not have broken through
but he was not there, and all they fount
were two negresses and three blacl
chickens, the latter sitting on fence
The presence Of the chickens proved tina
Grace had not been in the vicinity fo
some time, and the police returned, onl
to start out Immediately after on visi
to another "probable place.
In the morning student at Kameha
meha called in to say he had seen ma
like Grace, but this rumor, like the ott
ers, proved to be groundless.

carry out his boast that he will &c
Grace inside of three days. The odd
are that he won t connect, but bettin
is rather shy owing to everybody pu
ting up their cash one way.
