CLEARY'S MOVEMENTS
 ARE BEING TRACED
havcTstTaW Town Clerk Conse|ed
 by Messages From Wife. "

Haverstraw, N. Y., July 2S.-ln spite of a consoling message that his daughter showed improvement yes- terday. William c. Cleary, the form er town clerk of Haverstraw, who is confined on a charge of murdertng his son-in-law, Eugene M. Newman, spent trying day in New City jail. The weather. his arraignment yester- day and the lack of visitors combined to make things dismal. telephone message from his wife brought good news about his daughter, and the prisoner expressed the hope that, as soon as she recovers her strength suf- hciently, she will visit him.
 District Attorney Gagan, who will prosecute the case, was active. He with which the shooting was done. If this can be found and it can be proved that Cleary bought 1t recent ly, the prosecution will be in posi- tion to prove reconciliation of the murder. Friends are sure that the weapon had always been kept in the office, and are counting on that point to, prevent an indictment charging murder in the first degree.
 Within Two Days.
 II expect to have the gun within two days" said Gagan. II am sure that I will be able to get it.
 Gagan said that he will not ask for an extraordinary session of the grand jury. Only three or four of the Jurors, at the most, will come from Haverstraw, where Cleary's friend ships and political influence were strongest. Justice Mills, of Mount Vernon, is slated to preside over the grand jury in September, when the evidence will be presented.
 Tracing Cleary's Movements.
 Clearys movements during the days immediately before the shooting are being traced by a detective. It Is said that he was in saloon near. Times Square, New York city, the night be- fore he shot Newman
 The material witnesses who will ap- pear before the grand jury are Bern ard Fox, a salesmar; J. Fetter, chair man of the board of supervisors of Rock1and county, and Hugh Skinner the policeman, who was unwilling to arrest Cleary All were near the spot where the murder took place.
 When asked if they would testify for the prosecution, the district att ! torney said:
 How could they do otherwise? had their statements for the prosecu- ton one hour after the shooting"
 Writes Letter to Wife.
 After Cleary receivsd the telephone message yesterday from -f1is wife he wrote a letter to her, in which he urged that his 4daughter the widow of young Newman, be brought on to see him as soon as her condition per- mits. It is thought that she will make the trip from New York on Sunday by automobile. She y has en- couraged her father to osbelieve that she will forgive him. <
 District. Attorney Gagan refused to comment on the report that he would have an assistant in the prosecution of CIeary, but it was said here yester- day on good authority that he,shas asked Michael M Kane, of Warwick, to aid him.

Intense excitement

intense excitement
The ape-man stood, half crouching,
the long Arab knife glistening In the
moonlight. Behind him the tense fig
ure of the girl. motionless as carved
statue. She leaned slightly forward,
her lips parted, her eyes wide. Her
only conscious thought was wonder at
the bravery of the man who dared face
with puny knife the lord with the
large head. A man Of her own pioou
would have knelt in prayer and gone
down beneath those awful fangs with
out resistance In either case the re-
suit would be the same-it was inevita-
BILE but she could not repress thrill
of admiration as her eyes rested upon
the heroic figure before her. Not
tremor in the whole giant frame-hls
attitude as menacing and as defiant as
that of ell adrea himself.
The lion was quite close to him now
but a few PAGES intervened-he
crouched and then. with deafening
roar, he sprang. .
AS Numa, ell adrea, launched himself
with widespread paws and barred fangs
he looked to find this puny man as
easy prey as the score who had gone
down beneath him in the past. To him
man was q clumsy, slow moving, de-
fenseless creature-he had little respect
for him.
Rut this time he found that he was
pitted against a creature as agile and
as quick as himself. When his mighty
frame struck the spot where the man
had been he was no longer there.
The watching girl was transfixed by
establishment at the ease with which
the crouching man eluded the great
paws. And now, o Allah! He had
rushed in behind ell adrea's shoulder
even before the beast could turn and
had grasped him by the name. The
lion reared upon his hind legs like a
horse-Tarzan had known that ne
would do this, and he was ready. A
giant arm encircled the black named

bay black side behind the left shoulder
Frantic were the leaps OF Numa;
awful his roars Of rage and pain. But
the giant upon his back could not be
dislodged or brought within reach OF
fangs or talons in the brief interval OF
life that remained to the lord with the
large head. He was quite dead when
Tarzan of the Apes released his hold
and arose. Then the daughter OF the
desert witnessed thing that terrified
her even more than had the presence
Of ell adrea. The man placed foot
upon the carcass of his kill and, with
his handsome face raised toward the
full moon. gave voice to the most
frightful cry that ever smote upon her
ears.
With little cry of fear she shrank
away from him. She thought that the
fearful strain of. the encounter had
driven him mad. As the last note OF
that fiendish challenge died out in the
diminishing echoes of the distance the
man dropped his eyes until they rested
upon the girl.
Instantly his face was lighted by the
kindly smile that was ample assurance
Of his sanity, and the girl breathed
freely once again, smiling in response.
What manner of man are you" she
asked. 1.-The thing you have done is
unheard Of Even now Iscannot be-

Of the men put the muzzle of his gun
to the back Of Tarzan's head to finish
him, but another waved him aside. IF
We bring him alive the reward is to be
greater" explained the latter.
So they bound his hands and feet
and, picking him up. placed him on the
shoulders Of four of their number.
Then the march was resumed toward
the desert. When they had come out
OF the mountains they turned toward
the south and about daylight came to
the spot where their horses stood in
care Of two Of their number.
From here on their progress was
more rapid. Tarzan. who had regained
consciousness. was tied to spare
horse. which they evidently had
brought for the purpose. His wound
was but "a slight scratch. which had
furrowed the flesh across his temple.
1t had stopped bleeding. but the dried
and clotted blood smeared his face and
clothing. He had said no word since
he had fallen into the hands Of these
Arabs nor had they addressed him
other than to issue few brief COM
mands to him when the horses had
been reached.
For six hours they rode rapidly
across the burning desert, avoiding the
cases near which their way led. About
noon they came to douar of about
twenty tents. Here they halted. and
as one of the Arabs was releasing the
alta grass ropes which bound him to
his mount they were surrounded by a
mob of men, women and children.
Many Of the tribe, and more especial
ly the women. appeared to take delight
in heaping insults upon the prisoner,
and some had even gone so far as to
throw stones at him and strike him
with sticks when an old sheik appear
ed and drove them away.

that this man sat alone in the noun
tains and slew ell adrea. What the
business Of the stranger who sent us
after him may be ! know not. and
vN|lat he may do with this man when
we turn him over to him care not.
but the prisoner Is brave man, and
while he is in our hands he shall be
treated with the respect that be due

him"
Tarzan had heard the respect in
which Arabs held lion killer. and he
was not sorry that chance had played
into his hands thus favorably to re-
lieve him Of the petty tortures of the
tribe. Shortly after this he was taken
to goatsKin tent upon the upper side
Of the douar. There he was fed. and
then, securely bound, was left lying on
piece of native carpet alone in the
tent.
He could see guard sitting before
the door Of his frail prison, but when
he attempted to force the stout bonds
that held him he realized that any ex-
ira precaution on the part of his cap
tors was quite unnecessary-note even
his giant muscles could part those nu-
merous strands.
Just before dusk several men ap-
preached the tent where he lay and
entered 1t. All were in Arab dress, but
presently one of the number advanced
to Tarzan's side, and as he let the folds
of cloth that had hidden the lower half
of his face fall away the ape-man saw
the malevolent features Of Nikolas Ro-
koff. There was nasty smile on the
bearded lips.
"Ah, NJ Tarzan.' he said, this is
indeed pleasure. But why do you
not arise and greet your guest"
