They claim they can connect the movements of Mason with those of the negro and that there between is a business connection them. The locating of the watch of Miss Agnes McPhee is added evidence to the identical origin of the two crimes, and the fact that the two watches were found in the same pawnshop still further points to one man, whoever he may be, as the author of the outrages. As in the- case of Miss Morion, the man who took possession of the watch which Miss McPhee carried .at the time she was struck down seems to have lost little time ia placing his booty in the hands of a Rerond hand dealer. Miss McPhee was attacked on the night of Oct. 3. Her watch was pawned the next day. Mr. Nemser giys he procured it from a dark man, with a Roman nose, and small black mustache, who wore a slouch hat and striped coat and veBt.

Miss McPhee's watch is not yet in the hands of the police, but they know it was bought by Mr. Nemser, because its description is registered among the list of watrlies handled by pawnbrokers which is daily returned to the police, and the number and details are vouched for by a Somerville jeweler who repaired it.
