NEW YORK SAYS HOLD THE MAN John aTl, Who Fnaad Hetaae rrarln, la Aniloaa ta Rr to Gotham aad Uo to Work. That thfre will b no rosution of John 9a vis, the Orerk from whom the pearl necklace was recoverea, ia tne opinion of Aotinn Chief of Police Patrick Mostyn and Chief of Detectives John H. Savage. This conclusion Is based upon the prob ability of the story told by 9avla. on the opulence of Mrs. Otto- Helnae, ' owner of the strand of pearls, and ort the fact that the New Tork authorities, both police and Plnkertona. have ceased to mention the matter of bringing papers to Omaha for the extradition of Bavls and talk now only of securing the gems. Otto He.lnse. husband of the New Tork society woman who loat the ftrina; of pearls st the Knickerbocker hotel last November. Is expected to., arrive- In .Omaha Sunday or Monday. A telegram saying that he would come, was received by tha police Frtday afternoon, Saturday morning another message," to the effect that someone would call on Acting Chief Mostyn with a letter of in troduction and claim the necklace, waa re celved from James McCafferty, Inspector of the New Tork detective bureau. . Want the Greek Held. Both the Plnkerton message and the one from Inspector McCafferty request that Bavls and the necklace be held, but nothing further Is said about the Greek. Therefore I: la thought that 8avls Is wanted lit Id merely to satisfy the New York Officers as to his honesty In telling how he came to get the necklace, and that when the right people secure the valuable gems, the Greek will be released. In spite of the fact that both the Pinker ton agency and the detective bureau of the New Tork police department are negotiating about turning the gems over to agents of the owner, it Is understood that no clash will; occur on' that score. The Flnkortons are supposed to be the people who will handle the, matter, the police- 'detectives being In communication only becauae they once worked on the case and wish to make a showing at the finish. . , Bavls seema quite penitent of any wrong he had done. When Interviewed at th police station Irlday evening by Aotlng Chief Mostyn,. the Greek said, he was sorry that the mistake had been made of not trying more atrenuously to find the owner of the pearls. He declared that he realized now that he should have remained In, New York, and should, have advertised the fact of hhj finding the necklace. "I want to go back to New York and go to work," he -told Acting Chief Mostyn, giving the names of three department managers of the Knickerbocker hotel as references concerning his character.

A large glass Jar that had recently con tained a pint of beer waa found on the tabje near the bed, and an eight-ounce bot tle iof carbolic acid had been emptied. The boftle lay empty on the floor. When the body waa examined by an expert. It was declared that the acid had been used to cause death. No acid had been put In the beer, so It is thought that the liquor was drunk either Immediately before or Just after Fletcher took the poison.

I The widow waa at first so overcome that she could make no ststement, but later she recounted several Incidents and facts that he thought might have caused Fletcher to kill himself. She said: l "W had never had any trouble during Our three years of life together. However, Ralph had recently shown discouragement and seemed to drink more than he used io. I think It was because he had been borrowing quite a sum of money In small mounts from different sources, as he owed considerable on the house. His drinking iwas the only thing I ever had against jhlm." The couple had no children. Fletcher worked for a lumber company before secur ing his position with the Union Pacific at the ahopa substore.
