NO NEW CLEO TO THE MURDERER, Inspector Byrnes Olaster trying to Find Charles Weber. There are no developments tending to clea up the mystery of the murder of Hannah Robinson at Glendale a week ago Saturday night. The four detectives who are at work on the case have now run down all the celle, or what looked like dens, without results. Inspector Byrnes of New York has put a man on the case at the request of District Attorney Cleming. Yesterday De tectives Miller and Brechter took to Dis trict Attorney Fleming John Moffart, a blacksmith, of 85 Waverly avenue,this city. Moffart was acquainted with Hannah Robinson, but had not seen her for months. He accounted for his whereabouts on the night of the murder, and was discharged. Truspector Byrnes is said to have uedertaken the task of finding Charles Weber. That was the name the man gave who, after viewing the body, said the girl was Matilda Haber, his niece, and that when she left his home at North Haven, Ct., she had $474 in a reticule. The police are now firmly convinced that Robert Weber, who lost his pocketbook at Jamaica on the afternoon of the night the murder was committed, and Charley Weber, the bogus identifier, are one. Charles Weber lived with a family in Second avenue, New York. He had made the acquaintance of a mem ber of the family while both were under treat ment in a hospital. Weber had no money and was in arrears for board. When he returned to the boarding house Saturday night late he had money and promised to equate the account with the landlady Sunday morning. Weber was an early riser, the landlady, to be sure of her money, got up at daybreak and waited for Weber to appear, but he had risen before her and was gone. He has not bee keen since, Weber is the only man so far discovered who was in a position to make Hannah Robinson’s acquaintance.
