HEFFERNAN SHOT BY CLUB CUEST? The Police Hear that a Liquor- Crazed Man Fired Several Shots at Random Near Where Coachman Was Killed. Chief of Police Abercrombie, of Tar- rytown, and the Pinkerton detectives are working on a brand-new clue to-day in the ‘Heffernan murder mystery. They are trying to establigh the identity of a mysterious guest of the Andisley Club, ‘who is now suspected of having fired the shot that gave the coachman his death wound while seated at the side of his ewetheart, Sarah Campbell, near the olub. According to the report that found its way to the police, this unknown guest of the club drank heavily during the evening of the night on which Hef- fernan was shot, and finally got into an altercation with one of the attendants. In his drunken frenzy he 1s said to have drawn a pistol and fired at random améng thé trees of the grove around the club.
