Mrs. Sterrett Still Suffering In
Hospital as Search Is
Kept Up
Postal inspectors bellex'e they knew
who sent the poisoned enke which
caused the death of W. W. Sterrett.
of Deven, and the. 6crleus illness of
h,s wife.
This was announced by Postal In
spector Hawkesvverth, stationed In this
city, at the end of n conference held
In the Federal Building today.
Hnwkeswerth refused te divulge the
nature of the clue, but said it seemed
te be the most important yt discov
ered. He and the men working with
him en the cafe bclcve that if properly
followed, the cine will lend te the per
son who addressed ami mulled the box
of cake, partaken of bv Mr. niul Mrs.
Sterrett. The wife of the victim Is still
In the hospital, but is expected te re
cover. Won't Predict Arrest
Mr. Ifywkcswerth was asked if nn
nest would fellow the finding of this
due. He refused te commit himself.
"Much depends en the way the new
flue is handled," he said. "Investi
gators are working en it new. They
will continue te work en it until we
get the result we are nfter or arc con
vinced that the e-lue is worthless. It
leeks very geed at present.
"We are working en it tip te the
limit. I regard it as the most important
lead discovered since the crime."
The inspector was asked if the new
clue eliminated Mrs. Sterrett from pos
sible suspicion.
"I cannot say at this time," he
aid, "I cannot say in se many weids
that she is free from all suspicions."
William Mullin. Chester County de
tective, made a positive statement to
day that Mrs. Sterrett had been elim
inated. He said there were two new
clues en which the authorities were
working.
"I believe they will shed light en
the case, but I cannot reveal what they
re," he said.

Each typewriter has its own indi
vidual characteristics, and this knowl
edge, if justly and diligently applied,
should make it possible te solve the

Mr. Farb points out one netable
case where detective work of this tvpe
was successfully used.' It wns when
threatening letter was sent te Sam

"The sender was traced through the
peculiar motion of the typewriter he

Mr. Farb pointed out two ways In
which a particular typewriter could be

of Greatest Congestion, '

First workday riders en the Frank

even when the service slewed up during
the height of the morning rush hour.
The rush en the new overhead line
began shortly before 7 o'clock, the big
gest crowds congregating at the Ortho

stations.
Passenger from FeltenviUc, Olney
nnd ether points immediately west of
Frnnkferd transferred te the "L" from

avenue nt Mnrgnret street.
Even though the starting of the ele

and mentliH, dozens of riders were con cen
ruscd about the location of the sta

lines at Margaret street and nt Caster
read would start uncertainly north en
Frankford avenue, looking up nt the
elevated structure for a station.

Others strode confidently toward Or

were swarming up te the Orthodox

The first "kink" developed about
7:10 o'clock as prospective riders peered
up the track through a light fog, hoping
te sec the headlight of u train'.
New arrivals clicked their way
through the turnstiles until the station
became packed with humanity. It
looked like the Fifty-second street sta

"Net se geed tedav," commented one
veteran rider who had seen the fir3t

A northbound trnln skimmed past
toward the Bridge street terminal.
"Well, the line's open nnyhew,"

"We ought te start an agitation for
