Girls Fiance Joins
in Hunt for SLdyer

several other places, it is said. Cap
tain Souder. head of the Detective Bu-
reau, said yesterday there was no feel
ing in the matter and that his men
would continue in their own manner,
but admitted the city detectives felt
the county force should have consulted
them and worked with them, rather
than conducting an independent search.
Captain Souder, who was passing
the week end at the shore, made a
ninety mile jump to get on the job
personally In an attempt to clear up
the mystery. This is in accord with
the orders Of Director Cortelyou, who
sent message to the detectives that
every possible man should be put on
the case, adding they could call on him
for any additional help. He said:
"This is one of the most dastardly
murders committed in this city for
many years. want this murderer
found quickly. You can use every man
in the Detective Department il needed,
and as many other members of the force
as you may want.
These instructions have been followed
to the letter and there are probably
more officers engaged in the search for
Newhall than on any similar case in
years. At roll call this morning Cap
tain SOuder told detectives he was
sorry no picture of the missing man
was available. but saw, that every man
had a complete description.
Newhall's capture is made more DIFF
fcult than is usually the case, due to
the fact that he is not known to the
type physically. That he cannot have
gone far. If he did not kill himself, Is
the belief Of the police. He had only
his weeks wages, $l6, when he was
last seen.
Further investigation of the ease
shows Newhall's record was not quite
rs black as at first painted. Up to about
year ago he belonged to several asso =
Citations known for high moral standing
and bore very good name in them.
Police have also learned the Hog Island
escapade in which he was arrested and
sentenced to a year at. Media, was a
case of a young man being led astray by
an older one. They believe he got no
| profits out of the thefts, turning the
goods over to a man named Collins, and
! that was the reason he was released
after serving only n month of his sen =
! tenCe.
II was also learned that eighteen
months ago he and Josephine Howard
were to be married and that the parents
| of both the young people had cOnsented
to the match. A disagreement over the
| type Of the ceremony, however, caused
the engagement 10 be broken of at the
last moment. After his mothers death
about year ago, ,Newhall was willing
TO have any kind of a ceremony per.
formed that Josephines parents wished.
The girl, however, had changed her
mind and her affections had gone to
another. This other man, police say,
was not Frank Sullivan, the escort that
was with her when she was shot. This
made Newhall desperatF, his friends
say, and he made frecg snt threats to
kill Josephine il she would not marry
him. M y

Former Sheriff John Norcross, of
Burlington, who lives at Locust and
Broad streets, fifty feet from the sta :

bore out the engineer in the statement
that the brakes had been set but failed

said this is the usual speed in spite of
the ordinance which forbids a greater

and his suitcase at his seat. He worked
in the wreckage with the rest of the
