HARD AT WORK.

The Number of Detectives in the Sheedy Case Augmented.
The coroner, Dr. Holyoke, and his jury of six are still at work probing for clues to the assassin of John Sheedy. Among those examined this morning was Detective Malone of the city police, who has had active charge of the case. Whether they secured anything or not, it was impossible to learn, but one of the jurymen is responsible for the statement that their prospects for capturing the man are very gloomy.
It was reported this afternoon that an arrest had been made, but this is undoubtedly a canard, as no record of it appears anywhere. It could easily be suppressed for a time, however.
There are two Pinkerton men in the city working on the case. One, it is said, was brought here by Dennis Sheedy from Denver, and this man telegraphed to Chicago for a confederate. The local detective force are devoting lots of hard work to the case, and claim to have some tangible clues. Mr. Dennis Sheedy is quoted as saying that he would spare no expense in bringing the assassin to justice.
