Partial substantiation of one of the police theories that revenge may have prompted the shooting of Miss Wlll ameno Fuller, 17-year-old choir girl at St. Stephen's pro-callredral, early Thursday night was given to police delectlves yesterday by William Hubert son. choir member, who be lieves ho rt-sognized the girl's ussall- ant. j Of the 15 persons who were at tending the church choir practice, lloberlBon alone believes lie might he able to Identify I lie young masked gunman who stole Into the church and shot the girl down almost before choir mi'mhors knew what bad hap pened.

Mr. Robertson said the youth was about 111 years old. of Blight hulld ind with curly red hair. His de scription as to cloihinj: was the same as that given lo police detectives Thuraday night. In spile or this supposed Identifi cation by Mr. Rula-rison, police de tecilves still cling to the theory that the shooting of the girl was accl lenlat.
