he worked. He was looking for him last
night The man will be subp1naed this
morning IL he is found.
On the other hand. Mrs. Ulrioh. who Ia

cording to Mr.. Moore. She said that she
took the fret dog for an airing and upon
reaching her house saw washingto in the

third and Sixty-fourth streets. couldn I
recall clearly what happened. He said
though that he was unable to find any
stick or club which Ulrich is alleged to
have used on Mr.. Washington. He saw
no other men following them.
Ulrich had told his lawyer that Mr.

Lieut.. Quinn. who was on the desk.
When card was sent to Mr.. Washing

said that Mr.. Washington was in bad shape
and that he had been severely cut. lie
said that Mr.. Washington was very ner-

The most difficult thing to establish
yesterday was whether Mr.. Washington
had received a letter or q telegram from
Auditor Smith, for in his first statement
Mr.. Washington spoke OF letter and Mr..
Low didn't say which IL was. Neither q
letter nor telegram was shown yester-
day by Mr.. Washington or his friends.
