The Latest Tascott Anecdote,
CHICAGO, August 9.-In an interview regarding the latest Tascott story, A. J. Stone, son-in-law of Mr. Snell, the murdered millionaire, last evening, said: "If the picture sent on from Texas is Tascott's it can be identified in ten minutes. I know him myself, there are several people in the neighborhood where he lived or years within a few doors of Mr. Snell's house, who know him well." "What do you think of this Laredo arrest, as far as the information goes?" was asked. "I think it looks very hopeful; it is the best newspaper discovery we have yet had, but I have been so often deceived into hoping too far, that I am inclined to go slow. The description is good and tallies with Tascott in every particular."
