No solution OF the mystery in regard to the present
whereabouts OF William H. Tweed was obtained yesta
day, Notwithstanding the continued and combined d.
forts OF both the police authorities and the Sherfs
officials. That the flight Of the ex-"Boss" was mot
deliberately planned and carried out with exceeding
skill the long time that has elapsed without his being
recaptured fully testines to- He has now been at large
days, and the large reward already Offered
Of $4,000, with a promise OF an increase of tbs
amount to $4,000, has had effect yet
in discovering TO the authorities the actual

may lead TO his arrest has as yet been found
bold enough forward and mpart this knowledge
1t is said IN this connection that those who were
made participant in the plan of fight deferred from
telling what they know OF the transaction by fear Of
the odium which would attach to their names
and persons In case they should impart
the secret TO the police or to the
Sheriff Then again, 1t s said, were any one to lgve

sions among the lower class OF politicians and the loaf
ers around the city the effect that fthey heard
OF any man who was the means of recapture being
made they would show their loyalty TO their former
patron by taking the life of his betrayer, and thus
prove their gratitude and affection for the man on
whom they fattened when he was in power and pros

would question as TO whether there was
good foundation upon which TO exercise the belief that
the fugitive was hiding in Brooklyn. he would say,
however that they had not relaxed their search nor
did they intend TO do so. He would not say whether
the boy who told the story Of his seeing Tweed in
Brooklyn was be relied upon or not, nor would he
give has name as Sheriff Conner was the most
