discovery OF Jennie Kohn was important
in the extreme He spurred Captain
Carey. of the Homicide Bureau. on to
renewed efforts. and the two detectives
who have been working almost continu-
ously since early Monday morning on
the ciews furnished by The Tribune
were reinforced. a dozen were at work
last night. and they had traced Jennie
Kohn 20 a house in East 18th street.
There she IS living with the "Jonesy'' of
Mary Weisman's story. notorious as a
pickpocket.
Annie Goldstein, who was found by
her father last summer living with Jen-
ME Kohn. is not far away from this
house. Two weeks ago she was living
with "Rolph." also named by Mary
Weisman. "Rolph' is well known 10 the
police as a cadet and petty criminal. and
they hope 10 reach Annie Goldstein ere
long.
All these men and women are inti-
mately bound up with the life Of Albert
Wolter. Mr.. Moss said last night that
would be an important witness in the
murder trial. and he added that she was
necessary in the Goldstein case. That
is case of abduction. of white slav-
ers." pure and simple for the girl is
only child.
1t is a puzzle 10 me. but We do not
jump at conclusions said Captain
Carey. of the Homicide Bureau. when he
found that Wolter had not confessed
yesterday morning Il cannot talk on
the subject of VOTERS guilt or inno-
cence. l shall head one of the most
complete Investigations into the white
slave traffic ever made in this city.
Justice will be prompt in the case.
District Attorney Whitman announced
yesterday that he would lay the evidence
so far obtained before the grand jury
to-day. II Is expected that an mdict-
ment will be returned before the day is
over. The constitution gives the de-
fendant the right 10 two days delay
between the Indictment and the plead
ings and two days more before the trial
II would not be at all surprising. there
fore. if Wolter should be placed on trial
by Monday for the murder Of Ruth
Wheeler.
That the crime was more serious than
even at -Jrst supposed was established
Yesterday. Professor J. II. Larkin. Of
the College Of Physicians and Surgeons
reported that from q partial examina-
tion OF the girls remaius he found that
she had been outraged.
Scott Fols the Police.
Mr. Scott forbade his client yesterday
TO say d word To any one abou. the mur-
der. and thus the police We're foiled in
their plan Of securing q confession from
the prisoner through confronting him
with Katchen Mueller Encouraged by
the effect that letter from the girl had
had in breaking the young mans nerve.
the police had hoped that the presence
Of the young woman herself would have
a still more striking Sffect.
The letter which pcoduced such an i'm
preston on Wolter that he tainted on
reading it was translated as follows:
My Dear Al: As you have been good
10 me ! beg you 10 tell the truth. They
round d sack on your fire escape. and
from what they tell me think you are
guilty. ! beg you 10 tell all. l Will for
give you. You have been So goodhearted
TO me that can hardly believe it. Take
my advice and tell everything. You
know what ! know. ! appreciate your
kindness. but believe you guilty. and !
beg Of you to confess. and. no matter
what happens, ! VIII love you.
