CLEARY'S MOVEMENTS ARE BEING TRACED Haverstraw Town Clerk Conseled by Messages From Wife. - Haverstraw, N. Y, July 298.—In Bpite of -a consoling message that his daughter showed improvement yes- terday, Willam C. Cleary, the form- er town clerk of Haverstraw, who is confined on a charge of murdering his Eon-in-law, KEugene M. Newman, spent a trying -day in New City jail. The weather, his arraignment yester- .day and the lack of visiters combined to make things dismal. A telephone ‘message from his wife brought good news: about his daughter, and the prisoner expressed the hope that, as soon as she recovers her strength suf- ficiently, she wil] visit him. District Attorney Gagan, who will :prosecute the case, was active. He says he has a line on the revolver with which the shooting was done. If this can be found and it can be proved that Cleary bought it recent- dy, -the prosecution will be in a posi- tion to prove premeditation of the murder. Friends are sure that the ‘weapon had always been kept in the office, and are counting on that point to. prevent an indictment charging murder in the first degree. ‘Within Two Days. “I expect to have the gun within two days,” said Gagan. “I am sure that I will be able to get it.” Gagan said that he will not ask for an extraordinary session of the grand jury. Only three or four of the Jurers, at the most, will come from Haverstraw, where Cleary’s friend- ships and political influence ‘were strongest. Justice Mills, of Mount ‘Vérnon, is slated to preside over the grand jury in September, when the evidence will be presented. Tracing . Cleary’s Movements. Cleary’s movements during the days fmmediately before the ' shooting are being traced by a detective. It is said that he was in a saloon mear:Times Square, New York city, the night be- fore he shot Newman. The material witnesses who will ap- Dpear before the grand jury are Bern- ard Fox, a salesman; J. Fetter, chair- man.of the board of supervisors of, Rockland county, and Hugh Skinner, the policeman, who was unwilling to arrest Cleary. All were . near. the €pot where the murder took place, ‘When asked if they would testify for the prosecution, the district at- 1 torney said: “How could they do otherwise? I had their statements for the prosecu- tion one hour after the shooting.” ‘Writes Lettér. Wife. After Cleary ¥ telephone mesgage yesterau: is wife he wrote a lettert to her, ifi which he urged that his “daughter; the widow of young Newman, be’ prought on to see him as goon as her condition per- mits. It fs thought that ‘she will make the trip from New _¥ork on Sunday by automobile. Sh! ‘has en- couraged * her father to bellevb that she will- forgive him: District Attorney Gagan tetused to comment on the report that he would have an assistant in the prosecution of Cleary, but it was said here yester- day.'on good. authority that he/‘has asked Michael M." Kane, of Warwick, to aid him.
