charge OF the investigation OF the two
cases today denied the rumor that a
pair OF wOmens gloves were found in
the car Lacey drove the night he was
slain. The gloves and hat worn by
the dead chauffeur were lying on rear
seat In the tonneau Of the machine and
II was evident that whoever drove the
car along West Eighteenth street had
sat on the blanket This dispelled the
theory that someone had sat huddled
up IN the blanket while the car was
being used on its mission Of murder
Just why Lacey should have had his
gloves OF when his body was found
along the road has not been cleared
up, but II is clear, according TO Ser
geant Green, that he had not been In
any night with bare hands as they were
unmarked. and were clean.
The authorities have been handi-
capped from the beginning, however,
and the question Of persons removing
bodies from scenes OF accidents or
lights before the State or city detec-
tives arrive on the scene, has been
brought 10 the attention Of the Attorney
Generals Office. The morning that
Lacey's body was found the roadway
was wet and while tracks were found
in the road, showing that several auto
mobiles had turned there, It was i'm
possible TO say that any Of the tracks
were made by the car Lacey had been
driving
IL is held that had the mans body
been allowed to remain where it was
found until the, detectives arrived. they
would have been able, perhaps, to have
found a clue which might have been
destroyed by those who handled the
body
