I--Ephraim Short. A sturdy New Englander visiting New York for the first time. Has a big story to take back. Don't care much for broken marbles and pictures so dingy you cannot tell what you are looking at; but the sight of a lot of folks standing up like scarecrows in a field, here and there all over a great building, because something had happened to somebody, will make a story the children will listen to for years. Address taken, and account of himself verified by telegraph. II--Mrs. Lynch. Widow, with a small house in Jersey and money to support it. No children. Interested in church work. Honest and of reliable character. Only fault a physical one--extreme nervousness. III--Mr. Carleton Roberts, director; active in his work, member of the Union League and an aspirant for the high office of U. S. Senator. Lives in bachelor apartment, 67 W. ---- Street. A universally respected man of unquestioned integrity and decided importance. Close friend of Curator Jewett. IV--Eben Clarke, door-man. Been long in the employ of museum. Considered entirely trustworthy. Home in decent quarter of West 80th Street. Wife and nine children, mostly grown. Never been abroad. Has no foreign correspondence. V--Emma Sutton, an art enthusiast, gaining her living by copying old masters. Is at museum six days in the week. It was behind her easel Travis found a hiding-place in Room H. VI--Mrs. Alice Lee, widowed sister of Edward Cronk Tailor, ---- Sixth Ave. Lives with brother. Kindly in disposition, much liked and truthful to a fault. No acquaintance abroad. VII-VIII--John and Mary Draper, husband and wife, living in East Orange, N. J. Decent, respectable folk with no foreign connections. IX--Hetty Armstrong, young girl, none too bright but honest to the core. Impossible to connect her with this affair. X--Charles Simpson, resident of Minneapolis. In town on business, stopping at Hotel St. Denis. Eager to return home, but willing to remain if requested to do so. Hates foreigners; thinks the United States the greatest country on earth. XI--John Turnbull, college professor; one of the new type, alert, observant and extremely precise. Not apt to make a misstatement. XII--James Hunter, door-man, a little old for his work, but straight as a string and methodical to a fault. No wife, no child. Bank account more than sufficient for his small wants. XIII--Miss Charlotte Hunsicker, one of last season's debutantes. Given to tennis and all outdoor sports generally. Offhand but stanch. It was she who gave a woman's care to Mrs. Taylor when the latter fainted in Room B. XIV--Museum attendant coming up from basement. XV--Eliza Blake a school-teacher, convalescing after a long illness. XVI--Officer Rudd. XVII--Tommy Evans, boy scout. Did not lose his game. Went to the field after lunching on pie at a bakery.
