(Special to Tlmes-Recorder.) Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—Virtually all hope of catching, by means of a clue, the three negroes who murdered Motorman S. T. Brown last Saturday night and fatally wounded Conductor Waller Bryson, has been given up; and it Is now generally believed that if they are ever caught it will be after one of them has given his secret away. Such indiscretion can be safely counted on as a probability, and where more than one negro Is ifl- volved the ch'ances are even better. Almost Invariably a negro criminal will take somebody, generally a wo man, Into his confidence, and almost Invariably when he does so the secret leaks out. Notwithstanding the fact, however, that not a hint of the identity of the negroes has been obtained by the po lice, they are still at work on the case and half a dozen specially assigned detectives are putting forth, all their energies in an effort to bring some thing to light The fact that thc negroes took the watches of their victims led the police to hope, for a few days after the com mission of the crime, that a clue would turn up at some of the pawn shops, but thus far the watches have not been seen.
