EVIDENCE AGAINST PERRY.

His Sweetheart Had a Chain Owned by the Murdered Girl.

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 13-- The police spent Wednesday investigating the past life and past movements of George L. Perry, the young negro who Tuesday, upon the release of Alan G. Mason, was charged with the murder of Miss Clara A. Morton at Waverley.

Last night, the Somerville police found Perry's sweetheart and after persuasion, got her to exhibit whatever jewelry she had received from Perry. Among the trinkets was a gold chain which was immediately recognized as having belonged to Miss McPhee.

All of Perry's clothes were taken from him yesterday by an officer who thought he detected a blood spot on a shirt sleeve. Perry admitted the spot was blood, saying that he had had a bleeding tooth. Perry's coat has stains which look like blood. Professor Wood of Harvard will examine the garments.
