The Coroner, however, has given no sign of dis- couragement. The search for the weapon with which the murder was committed went on to-day, a gang of workmen con- tinuing their inspection of the sewers in the vicinity of College street Coroner’s orders.

The catch-basin at Temple and Wall streets was opencd to-day. The fact became known to-day for the first time that the authorities have some reason to believe that Edwards was not shot as he lay in bed in the guest chamber, where his body was found, but that he was carrled into the chamber after the shooting and placed in the bed. This theory is based upon| . the discovery of several bloodspots on one of the stockings worn by Edwards. He was found in bed, dressed in his STAYIS CRANTED stocking was wro.g sde out, as If the wearer had put it on that way by mistake, and at the top of the Instep were a number of small drops of blood. On the bottom and side of this stock- ing there was considerable lint, while there was no lint on the other u\ock. ing. The inference which, the detectives have drawn is that the man was car- ried from agother room to the guest chamber after the shooting and that the left foot trailed along the floor. The bloodspots, if they came from the wound in the head, could have reached the stocking only when the man was standing erect.. h'.l;b; l!::lht flt;r:d the upper {urt of t eft ear and if the the wound might have fallen on the left foot, steamer this morning. adelphia, was so an unusually AT LIST HINUTE Mrs. Thompson, Who \Was Or- dered Deported to England, Is Given Another Hearing NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—A stay granted at the last moment by the Washington au- thoritles saved Mrs. Lydia H.
