Two Women May Help in
Solving Murder of
Poultry Dealer.
WERE ASSOCIATES
OF SLAIN CANISTER
One Man Knows Whereabouts
of Man Sought in Market
Mystery, Police Say.

Arrests made in the last few days in
connection with the murder OF Little
Patsy" Doyle, who was shot to death
in saloon ut Eighth av. and 4lst st.
a week ago Saturday night by mem
bers of the "Owney" Madden gang,
were said yesterday to have furnished
TO the police several promising clews
that may help solve the murder OF
Barnet Baff, the Washington Market
poultryman.
According to Captain Cray. of the
Central Office, it is not believed that
the killing of Doyle was connected
with the Baff murder, bu. in rounding
up witnesses in the case OF the dead
cangstei the police believe they have
stumbled upon at least two persons
who may be able to assist them IN un-
ravellng the mystery of the ban
death plot.
These witnesses are Frieda Horner,
nineteen wears old. of 1886 East olst
ST. and Mary O'Donnell, twenty-siN
wears old, of 2299 Eighth av. They
are two of a quintet of women, all
former friends of Little Patsy who
are now detained as material Wit
nesses. The three other women are
Marjorie Everdeen, twenty-five, OF 800
West AID St; Josephine Moore, who
lived in West Goth ST., and Laura
Buckley, twenty-one, of 300 west
AID st. If.
Moore. in a statement to the police
Yesterday, claims to be Little Patsys
widow. She says that the real name
of the dead man was William Moore
ard that PATSY Doyle" was an alias.
On the day of Doyle's murder, &C
cording to Horner, word was sent
to her by Doyle, who had been her
sweetheart, that he was going to Visit
her abode and "clean the dump out"
In company with Everdeen and Buck
lev, she communicated the threat to
Madden and Ellis, who assured them
there would be no trouble.
Shortly before the shooting TOOK
place she admits she wrote note TO
Dovle. which 'Everdeen took into the
saloon where Doyle was drinking. She
refused to tell the police the contents
of the message.
The detectives working on the case
said Yesterday that Doyle, or Moore,
formerly lived in Brooklyn, where Tor
short time he was associated WIN
the notorious "Red Onion" gang in
MYRTLE av. He came to New York and
settled on the lower West Side as
member Of the Hudson busters, y
In addition. to his other pursuits IN
crime. Doyle traded as Cooke pedler.'
He was convicted on this charge two
years ago and served a short term IN
prison. He was intimate with the so
called Chicken pullers" of the west
Washington Market district and the
chicken inspectors" Of the Jersey City
freight yards. g.
The developments which the police
believe may have an important bearing
in the BaT mystery are the statement
made by Horner that Doyle three days
before his death claimed TO have knowl-
edge of the identity Of the Ban gun
men. aud insisted that they were "Hud-
son Busters" and the likelihood that
O'Donnell may be able TO throw light
upon the whereabouts of man sought
in connection with that crime.

TRIAL RECORD SET
BY JURY OF One
Court Attendant Called
to Weigh Widows
Damage Suit.

A one-man jury, and that man a
court attendant, sat on case before
Justice Greenbaum in the Supreme
Court. Cases have been tried with
eleven Jurors, but there is no -ise
known where the jury consisted of only
one Nor is there any record where a
court attendant was called for duty IN
the box.
Court employees are exempt from
jury duty, but there is no law that
disqualifies then from such service in
a contingency such as arose in the case
before Justice Greenbaum.
John +. Gleason, of Part 4, trial term
of the Supreme Court, was the one-man
jury. The case was that of Mrs.
Therese Donnelly, as administrators OF
the estate of her husband, against a
contracting firm which she sued for
damages for the death of her husband.
When the case was tried before JUS
tice Page the jury awarded $4,000 to
the widow. There was an appeal, and
the Appellate Division sent the case
back to the Supreme Court.
The case came before Justice Green
baum for readjustment. There were
no jurymen on hand, late in the after
noon, when it was called.

COALITION in new
MEXICAN REVOLT
Salazar's Movement Said

lBy Ielegraph ID rhe Tr1bune.

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. General Jose
Ynez Salazar has formed a coalition
with Generals Maclovio and Luis Her
rietta. both with armies in Southern
chihuahua; with General Pascuai Oroz-
co. who has gone TO New York 10 buy
arms and ammunition, and with the
Arrieta brothers. who have an army IN
Durango.
The dominant feature of the move
nent il the overthrow of both Ccrranza
and Villa as fractional leaders and the
stirring up of a bitter anti-Amerlcan
sentiment among McXicans generally.
General Salazar has more than 300
men, and to-day began siege OF Casas
Grandes, Madero's first capital and the
scene Of score OF battles during the
last four years. General Manuel Ochoa,
the Villa commander at Casas Grandes,
to-day sent an urgent appeal to Cen
cral Tomas Orneles. commander at
Juarez, for reinforccments 10 aid HIM
in resisting the Salazar attack.
Juarez has less than 500 men in the
garrison and General Ortelas wired to
General Ochoa that none could be sent
IN view OF the boast Of Salazar that
Juarez would be the next point Of at
tack. Ochoa has only about $50 men
in his command and there are no gar
risons near for him TO draw upon, all

SUIT DISMISSED; SANTA
FEE TO PAY THE TAX
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

County Attorney P w. O'Sul-
livan was officially advised from
Los Angeles yesterday that the San
ia Fe Pacific will pay its taxes on
certain grant lands in this county,
and had authorized the suit it in
stitutcd to be dismissed. The plead
ing to this effect was also receiv-
ed and the legal action desired
will be filed today in the superior
court.
The railroad company resisted
the assessment placed on their grant
lands last spring by Assessor Thos.
L. Campbell OF this county, which
valuation later was upheld by the
board OF supervisors when an APP
peal was taken by the company. The
sum of S5,14971 is involved, which
will be forthcoming before the tax
is delinquent.
Throughout the discussion OF this
very interesting as we'll as vital
matter affecting the value OF the
lands i'll controversy, Assessor
Campbell made a very able as we'll
as reasonable argument to uphold
his principles OF fixing valuations
on all lands in the grant zone of
the company The latter, however,
contcnded for a blanket price to be
set thereon, but in this effort, the
supervisors were averSe to favoring
such action, basing their judgment
on the maps filed and the seggre-
CATION made Of lands with a fixed
that was supported by
the evidence submitted.
Had the claims OF the railroad
company prevailed. the tax would
have been approximately one-half
