DOUBTFUL CLEw


Police superintendent Campbell OF Brooklyn stated
yesterday that il WAS not true az had been stated
that he had assigned detective to work up any clew
III the case. He had been informed by Inspector
Waddy, however, that citizen had called ut Police
Headquarters and told that official that Thursday

INSPECTOR wADDY's IDEA REWARD


Inspector Waddy, in speaking with HERALD
norter yesterday about the reward offered by Judge
Iilton, said he believed the conditions upon which
he s25 900 reward is made payable are Of nature to
defeat the end which it il desired to attain He said
he believed it would have been more wise to
have offered a reward of $4,000 for the
recovery of the body and to have made conditions
in the public cfr about the conviction of the body
snatchers. That amount wonld have. doubtless been
sufficient to secure the restoration Of the remains
which was the primary object to be attained. Then.
having gained that end. clews would be in the
hands OF the police showing the from which
had been restored. With the offer Of second
reward of $4,000 to stimulate energy in procuring
the conviction of the resurrectonists the guilty par
ties would doubt, be speedily brought to Justice.
The Inspector added further that he believed Charley
Ross would have been restored to his parents by
Nioshcr and Douglas the undoubed abductors of the
boy had the first reward been offered for his restora
ton without making its payment conditional
upon the conviction of the kidnappers. He
believed that when the latter criminals

dcnce of Judge Van Brint found that they could not

spector Thought. the provision referring to the
victon of the miscreants should not be included in
the public offer of the reward.
