but we are simply investigating thor
oughly everything that comes 10 our at
tention."
Another man, the eighth to be taken
in custody, was arrested last night He
is O small, dark man, supposed TO be a
Greek, and was arrested at 10th street
and Fulton avenue, The Bronx, where
he was found acting queerly. He was
taken TO the headquarters Of The Bronx
Detective Bureau, where he was put
through a close examination. He told
the police he was Ernest Heupville,

murdered girl purporting to come from
q negro woman, who said she lived in
Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. and for $50
would give her information that would
lead TO the discovery Of the man who
killed her daughter.
Two More Men Arrested.
Two other arrests were made yesterday,
bat both bore only in remote way on the
murder. The more important Of the two
was the arrest of man at 145th street
ana Willis avenue who described HIM
self as Charles Kramer, nineteen years
old o. No. 453 East 13Sth street.
According to the story told by Alice
Dwyer, fourteen years old, Of No. 42O
East l35th street, she was returning TO
her home from ST. Jeromes Church,
when she saw Kramer in the vestibule
Of a house at No. 15S Willis avenue. He
beckoned TO her, she said, and offered
her five and ten cents, and when she re-
fused to 90 with him he seized her by
the arm and attempted TO pull her into
the doorway.
Terrified, and recalling what had be-
fallen Julia Connors, who happened also
to be on her way home from church
when last seen, Alice tore herself away
from the mans grasp and ran home.
When she arrived there she told her
brother Louis. who returned to the place
with her. and found Kramer still in the
vestibule.
Kramer fed. according 10 the story
told in court, with the brother in pur-
suit. He ran into the arms Of Patrol
man Murphy, Of the Alexander avenue
station. The detectives working on the
eonnors case were informed, while the
Prisoner was taken 10 the Morrisania
court and charged with attempting to
entice the girl into a hallway. He was
held by Magistrate Barlow in $500 bail
for examination to-day, and was handed
over to the police meanwhile for further
Interrogation.
The other man taken into custody was
thought to be a harmless lunat!c. He
was John Carmardo, Waterman, and
was arrested when the police were told
by boys that they had heard him talking
to himself about two girls he had killed.
He repeated the same remarks to the
police when taken to the station house,
and said that he had been sick in his
head" year ago. being sent to the Utica
Asylum for the Insane. He was taken
to Bellevue Hospital for observation,
The police being satisfied he had no con-
nection with the present case.
There were two other lines OF investi-
cation that were occupying members OF
the big squad OF men detailed TO the
case. One was an inquiry into the rec
ords ard present whereabouts OF all men
who during the last few months have
been arrested for attacks of any sort
upon women. This line Of work took
Members Of the squad as far as Mount
Vernon to look Up the record OF an ltal-
ian siasher there.
