 No Motive Known.
 What motive could have actuated the two young men to have committed | the crimes with which they are 1 charged is the most obscure thing about the whole surprising matter, if they did commit them. which, of course must be proved in court. From the first, however, they have been un- der suspicion, and they were aware of it, as indicated by Attorney Howarth when he was placed under arrest Tuesday. He asked Officer Hurley
 what the arrest was for, the officer told him, and Howarth is quoted as 1 saying. Well. I am glad this thing has come 10 a head"
 Nature of Evidence Not Disclosed. The arrest of the two young men was practically the sole topic of con VersatiOn here Tuesday. Much was . heard as to the methods adopted by State Policeman Hurley and Captain John Murray in getting such infOrna- tiOn as they have certainly secured to warrant them taking into custody, af- ter convincing the state attorney as to the strength of their case HowaTth and Cain, but what the officers have secured or how they secured it was positively refused for publication. The best that the officers would say along that line was that they have secured , extremely important evidence and that | this had been presented to the state : attorney and he had proceeded to issue his complaint. secure a bench war | rant the issuing of which was immed- | lately followed by the arrests.
 l Members of the legal profession in l the city were shocked over the pre- : dicament of Lawyer Howarth, all cOm- menting in a regFetful vein over the 1 trouble in which the young man finds himself. The surprise caused by the i arrests was the gxreatest of the year 1 here and the outcome of the case will | be awaited with intense interest.
