It was while this investigation was

one of the many mysteries con

The Jury was released from fur
ther attendance this afternoon, no
time having yet been set for the

Still completely baffled by the
lack of clues or tangible evidence,
the officers are at a loss to es

movements of the slayer to some

to the discovery of a motive or

fired, but only one bullet account

case, but it has now been satisfac
torily shown that the bullet

however, still remains uncertain.
Mrs. Hess heard only one shot
