When F gel, according to his statement, sold the pistol to Hoftman it was loade With what it was loaded was sou ht to ve ascertained from Figel, who was found at the home of his parents, at 1415 McAllis- ter street, last night. “Do you know what kind of cartiidges the pistol you sold Hoffman was loaded witii 7" was asked. **Were they smoke- less powder orthe ordinary cartridges?’” “1 really don’t know,” he answerea, after some hesitation. Did they come in a light-colored box, orin a green box?’ “Tuey came in a light-yeliow box, as near as [ remember, but I am not positive of ibis.” When it was explained to Figel that smokeless powder cartridges left little or no powder marks, and usually came in just such boxes as he described he seemed uch gratified. He then asked thatsome published statements in reference to him ve corrected. “I see it stated in an evening paper,’’ he said, “that I failed to appear at my post of duiy to-day, and an intimation made that I was keeping out of the way. In answer to this I say that I do not care to 20 where I am not wanted.

In justice to ng man and his Jtamily it is but fair to state that Chief Lees is strongly im- pressed with the innocence of the book- | per of the firm of Hoffman, Rothchild ha 18 you & Co.

His greatest trouble seems to be to reiieve the minds of his wife and his and her parents from any a ty on his account.

Amongz the statements credited to Captain Bohen is this: *If gel's eccounts are ehort, then the ma ter may be clearer.” The bookkeep-r’s friends say that even if the books should be found to be in bad shape, thst fact would not tend to make Figel out to be the slayer of Hoffman, as the latter’s death would in no wise remove or conceal any wrong-doing, so long as the books re- mained in existence. without result.

Captain Callundan of Morse's agency professed to be highly pleased with the vrogress which his men had made during the day in solving the problem of Hoff man’s death. Callundan the question narrows down to the identity of the rurderer. The suicide theory Le scouts as entirely exploded, and be intimates that the question which now confronts him will be answered in a few days. The deed he declares to be posi tively murder. Circumstances, he de- clares, point strongly in one direction as 10 the perpetrator. t1s certainly a case of murder,” he said yesterday afternoon. *“The further my investigations proceed the more firmly couvinced I become of that fact. Allday long I have had three men working on the case. Twenty persons have called 1o volunteer wbat they considered valuable tips. The persons su-pected have been interviewed by my men and their stae- ments carefuliy noted. Theresults of this work must all be carefully gone over and digested, but even before this matter has been sifted I feel no hesitancy in saying the guilt will be satisfactorily and unde- niably fastened. *‘Already we have a circumstantial case stronger than that which convicted Dur- rant. Inafew days we will have a case from which there can be no possible es- cape. We bave been working along two lines, but circumstances would seem to point very strongly tos certain man as the party wanted.” Captain Callundan declined to state upon what grounds he made so po-itive a declaration. He stated t.at although the books of the concern had as yet not been experted and would not be until the re- turn of Mr. Rothschild, a cursory ex- emination bhad showed many peculiar things. He' also stated that a party toward whom suspicion bad hitherto been di- rected he had ascertained to be of very ex- i travagant habits, T things, however, he mentioned only incidentally, and not as part of the overwhelming evidence which be intimated he held up bis sleeve. REMOVED THE FURNITURE Steps Taken to Preserve Any Pos- sible Clews for Further Discovery. Captain Lees took steps yesterday morn- ing to preserve intact that portion of the jury or others investigating the Hoffman | tragedy. To this end he had the carpet, with its lining, and two chairs taken from the cffice and locked up at the City Hall. Josepn Napthaly, attorney for Mrs. Hoff. | man, objected to the office being thus ve- spoiled, und appealed to Coroner Haw- kins to take charge of the premises. This the Coroner refused to do, as he has placea the matter entirely in the hands of the police. He is relying npon the police to find evidence for the inquest, and it will | not be until theyare ready that the in- quest will be held. Cnicf Lees denies that the removal of the furniture is any ind:cation of bis atti- tude concerning the conflicting theor.es ot the case. *Iremoved the things simply as a4 matter of precaution to preserve them in case they should be required,” he id. “When the papers are removed from the desk I purpose removing it for the same reason.’” Joseph Napthaly, in the presence of Captain Lees, opened the safe yesierday morning and took possession of all Hoff- man’s private papers.

THE FACT THAT THE NERVES retain vital activity longer than other structures and tissues of the body shows the importance of the nervous system. When the nerves are strong and healthy | the body is able to resist the invasion of | disease. Nervous debility affects every | organ of the body and lays the foundation | for serious organic troubles. Its symp- toms are queer sensations about the.head, | such as pain, pressure, tenderness, sick | headache, congestion of the eyes, loss of | courage and memory, noises in the ear, | sleeplessness, drowsiness, sweating of the hands and feet, t:nderness of the soine, pain in the back, a sense of heaviness, palpitation of the heart, difficuity in breath- ing, especiaily on going to sleep, cramps in the calf of the leg and foot, frequent blushings, tickling, itching and burning of | the skin, nervous chills oftsn mistaken for ague, cold feet and hands, excessive gaping and yawning, morbid fears, aversion to society, etc. The Electro-Medical treatment brings new life to the wornout or weakened ner- vous system.
