iav in undertones of the murder of liar

probably t.ie most li.it r.l man hi all that
Orotic f ir-.iiMTi" and mcichants. The
ir.'tt who l..id known him chatted In little

jMekcns .iti'l geese, whispered and dls--'iscil
u 'i' a slr.wgcr appenred and
tere ,i" irnt as H.lff's on n closed stall
hen M asked w lint they thought of It.
Nrc Wfoic have so many detectives
tin ul itfil through those noisy, narrow
rr.ets The buttonholed ovcry man In
lh.it qu.iurr Tin)- ran down every hint
ft u At thi List they went back
to H udnu.it trrg to nport that they had
ltirncd little during the day's search. The
mysteiy of the whole thing only urged the
rohre to greater efforts nnd last night ud
d.tie'.rT scons of men were out searching
the neighborhoods where ltaff enemies
re mom numerous And the variety of
th.. iimii ? etiem'es . what In m.iklnK the
ulution of dc.-th fn dltllcult.
There are three theories' ns to the mo
lars that tnov d tnu men to shoot him
down Tuesday night One of these is
that certain mcmbris of the "poultry
t-uit. ' against whom he had turned In-frm-int.
had hlml gunmen to do away
1th hhu. Another was that friends of
tne. live Italian' whom he sent to Sine
5!e for robbing tile manager of his store
In Kist lOSth street last March, had made
jowl on their threat to Bet even with him
The last tluory Is that ho was-murdered
Iv some 'f those men who are known to
the trade as "chirken pullets" and who
ire admitted on alt sides to be Individuals
situ whom it Is ilaiigeious to get Into
troublo.
Our Theory Dismissed.
T.i. authorities linve dismissed tae mea
that ll.iff was murdered by men hired by
tne oiganlzatlon of poultiy dealers whom
he hilped to prosecute T.ilrtren of these
men were convicted and sentenced to
ne time and to pay line. Tneir cases
rt now awaiting nigumerit on appeal II
ould have been worse than absurd, their
friends and enemies alike maintained yes
tfnlay. for them to have u man killed I
under such circumstances UavtiMjo .was
undoubtedly the motive for the murder, i
iui uuj me revenge oi nir men im ric
lonirted two years ago
It may more reasonably have been, de-
t'ire ttie police, a dlre for revenge on
t.. put of many small dealers on the
Kt t'lde who had been forced out of
Vnine by B.iff. In thls connection It
a pointed out that ho was not only a
melier, but also a butcher and a letail
ali. He received and bought at the
tjct.nn sabs as other merchants did, but
! n.id In addition his own killing plant.
It . charged against him that In 'lie
ii- t unci: the live poultiy .market was
raje inly onco a week and he failed to
c.lo. of his shipments at llie current
late had other icsourcis which his
umpe tors did not have. I.'nder such
c.r. aniktances he would kill the remainder
if h.t B.i.pment nnd then offer his poultry
for '.,le In his reta.l markets at piles
