Police Still Chase
 Clues In Clothing
Mrs. Mott Will Have First Visitors Day at the
 Jail Tomorrow.

The police today are seeking to es- taJblish a, connecting link between the bundle of clothing which was found in the Dewey street cemetery on Satur- day and the murder of George E. Mott at his home week ago Sunday. In the bundle of clothing which was found was two black waists, a pair of blue overalES, a gray sweater, a blue jersey and a brown vest. In an effort to trace the connection of the latter article the police visited the O'Brien Suit Shop at 27 Cannon street yester- day and questioned the proprietor of that place, Joseph OBrien, who said he recognized thR vest as of the sa1ne color and material as a suit that he had sold Mott but he could not posi- lively state whether it was the same piece of goods.
 Detectives paid a visit to the Wade home this morning in an attempt to have a member of the Wade family Identify the clothing that was found in the ibundle and which is believed to be the same articles of wear that Wade wore on the Sunday morning when he visited the Nott home John F. Johnston who is being held in con- nection with the murder of Mott, when asked if he ever saw N11e wearing any of the articles found in une bundle said he had not and that he did not believe it was Wade's clothing
 The police are still trying to locate the S350 diamond pin and several hundred dollars worth Of pocket change" that has been missing since the death of Mott. Whether or not Wade took possession of the diamond pin and money at the time of the murder is not known but it is held by the police that after the stabbing affair in the hall Wade removed a d ia ring from tha 1f of and gave it to Mrs. Mott saying .eThis will be of more benefit to you than what it is to him now" The ring has been recovered and is being held by the police at the present time
 At the County jail this morning it was said that Mrs. Mott was normal and had recovered from the hysteria which marked her appearance at the coroner's inquest last week. Wade and Johnston are to all appearances holding up under the strain Of the murder accusation. All three have been held in close confinement since their admittance to the jail No visitors have called to see any of the prisoners as yet but Sheriff Pease said this worning that visitors would be allowed to call tomorrow which is the regular visiting day at the jail The police still hold to the belief
 
 for the murder of Mott and that he was assisted in the brutal details of the crime by Mrs. Mott. Regarding l the struggle which is alleged to have taken place on the stairs of the Mott home between the attic and the sec- ond landing, one police official said this morning that Wade evidently , chased Mott down the flight of stairs beating him on the head as he ran after him and that when he reached the first landing Mott evidently fell to the landing exhausted from the blows on the head inflicted by the heavy lead pipe. Investiga ton of that particular spot showed traces of Nott's mixed gray hair on the first step l which leads to tue belief that Mott fell at that point and that Wade finished him with a knife which is believed to have been handed to him by Mrs Mott. The allegation that Wade did not struggle with Mott but that Mott was running down the stairs with Wade after him would explain why 1 Wade did not show any marks of a struggle. The police are inclined to believe that Mrs. Mott suffered the blow on the head when she got in the way of one of the blows directed at Matt by Wade. Not much credence is given to the supposition that Mrs. Mott attempted to interfere to save her husband.
