At his home, No. 197 Madison avenue, ‘Mr. Jesup declined to be,seen to-day, but he made this statement in writing: ‘Mr. Jesup several weeks ago re- eetyed an anonymous letter, which he thought of sufficient importance for him to turn over to his lawyer, Jobn E, Parsons, in order that the latter might take such action in the matter as he thought fit. is all that Mr. Jesup cares to say.’ When John E. Parsons was seen at his office, No. 62 William street, and asked about the letters he said: “I told Mr. Jesup not to give out a letter and not to divulge to anybody the nature of the threats that have been made against him. Certainly I will not reveal these things myself, That’ is all I have to say.” The fact that Mr, Jesup was being harassed by some mysterious person came out through the indiscretion of one of the detectives employed by Mr. Persons. This detective {s only one of @ number of mysterious Individuals who have for several weeks becn trying to find Miss Marie Denny, formerly maid t© ‘Mrs. Jesup. Search for Former Maid.

The police held him as a “suspicious pergon.” Mrs. Day's hysband 1s for'J, Edward Simmond, the Fourth National Bank. She is Mit Denney's sister. She suid that her ter had obtained leave of absence from Mrs, Jesup and had gone back to ire- land to visit relatives.

When she had done so the prisoner give his name and sald he was employed by the Pinkerton Detoctive Agency, and that he wanted to see Jdiss Denney. He would not say why.
