Dineen specializes in supplying strikebreakers and the Industrial and Railway Service Agency haa an office In Philadelphia. Dineen was once connected with Bcrgoff Brothers WsddelU formerly a prominent strikebreaking firm. The New York police are trying to find out whether two men known as Charley Ross and Jack Barron, seen In a big red automobile at Broadway and Fortieth Street within a few days of the shooting, had anything to do with the case. A mysterious Jack said to have paid several visits in an automobile to a friend at the New stills Hotel. Seventh Avenue and Thirty-sixth Street, is also being sought.

No trace of any of these has been found as yet- Underworld Full ef Charley Rosses. Search for Charley Ross Is complicated by the fact that there are so many Charley Rosses in the underworld.

He said that Charley Itogers telephoned to his mother a house nthBronx and told him that Jackson had been shot, and that half an hour later he brought Jackson to the house in an automobile. Cunninguaia o.J the Pinkertons that he told the pair he did not know of any doctor to send the wounded man to. and that they drove away.

Two Uaya later, he said he met Charley Rogers and asked him where Joe Jackson had been taken. According to his final statement to the Pinkertons. Rogers did not tell him Jckson had been taken to Stamford, snd he nly assumed that Stamford was the place. rtakertens Dent Believe CunaiBgham. His mother.

Mrs. Ruth Cunningham, told the Pinkertons that her son had not received a telephone call at her house that night, and that the wounded man had not gone there In an automobile. The Pinkertons do not agree with Cunningham's lawyer that the Prisoner story of the shooting Is true as a whole. They say that they have Investigated it and have found nothing so far to substantiate It. although they have not completed their investigation with regard to the iOntity and whereabouts of the man who may be Joe Jackson.

They assume that the lawyer has not checked up on ihe story, but would be glad to have any information he can give to support It. McCarthy made his statement about the truth of Cunningham's story sfter he and Mrs. Cunningham the mother had had a three-hour conference with the prisoner in the County Jail yesterday aTmnwilling to my client go before the Grand Jury." said McCarthy, under certain conditions.

District Attorney Weeks is pre-pated to agree and has ball papers prepared. Mr. Weeks, when questioned about the lawyer's statement that Cunningham was telling the truth, said 4hat there was so much in Cunningham's story that was probable that he was having every minute detail Investigated. In Cunningham's story as summarized by Mr. Weeks in a statement last Thursday night, he said that Cunningham had told of the wounded man being taken to his mother's home in the Bronx, and attributed the cause of the shooting to an attempt to trap Ward.
