CLEVER WORK OK ERIE DETECTIVES. Detectives from tho Erie Police de partment of Port Jervls havo been nt work In Lordvllle for some time trying to locate tho writer of an nnonymous letter to an official of the road, and have succeeded In run ning down one of tho offenders. It I appears Mint two or threo months ago a letter was written to A. J. I Stone, gencrnl mnnngcr of tho road, I reflecting upon tho fidelity nnd char ' acter of a high official of tho Del I aware Division, and sent to Hones 1 dale, Pa., to bo mailed. Tho matter I was placed In tho hands of tho de- tcctlve force for Investigation. Tho letter was typewritten which I wns the only cluo tho detectives had I to work upon, but they wore quick j to take advantage of It. They first learned there were but two type wrlt ' Ing machines In tho town, one owned I by a young man by the name of . T'l.l., I. .. . 1. .... xvii aiiuli iun, .uiu iiiu uiuur uy u uuu boy by the nnmo of Cnvnnaugh, em ployed In the Lordvllle tower. One of the machines was apparently out of order at tho particular time the detective wanted to use it ostensibly to write a letter. The stylo of type, however, enabled them to pick out tho machine tho letter was written on. The name of tho party who took the letter to Honesdale wns next cleverly obtained. They proceeded to weave a web of evidence so close and strong that the authorship of the letter was traced to a woman named Norah Cavanaugh Cuddlhe, who, when confronted by the detec tives, admitted sho wrote It. The matter is being hold in abeyance by the railroad officials and what action they Intend to take is not known. Other letters of a serious nature have been written to residents of Lordvllle making threatening de mands for money; threatening life and slandering. These letters, we nre told, have been placed in the hands of the authorities who are making a thorough investigation. Criminal action will no doubt be tak en against the writer If apprehend ed. T. H.
