(Special Dlaoatcs to Tb JooraeU
Tacoma, Wash., July . The belief
of the parents of Margaret Cuvreau,
that the coroner's Jury which acquitted
John Flynn of blame for tha death of
their daughter by no means sifted all
the facts- to get at the- bottom of the
.story, is now shared by aw increasing
number of persons, wno nave nn.w

Though Flynn Is today at liberty,
he is practically under arrest, for his
movements are constantly reppriea i

In the Innocence of Flynn, has never

over it.- My understanding has always
been clear that 11 belonged to the es
tate without thef question of a doubt.
I have often " been assured . that h

Mr,' Grover' contention Is that his
understanding f .the transactlonof
" 1800 was that he was merely giving a
mortgage, on the one half and. not con
veying ah absolute deed. .
The property, as explained by Mrs.
Hawthorne, was formerly her own and
in no -way connected with the estate.
Some time ago she conveyed the entire
section to the estate.
"Many years-ago i
soaai property belonging to me and my
daughrs for 24,000.'? declared lit.
Hawthorne. 'My share was 'If'0"0;
and with 4hls'um I purchased the one
fourth- interest -in the property back
of the City park. Later f turned it
into tho esUte to be handled. -
"On. the face of it th1 "ne of

Flynn's story. . '
Peculiar Olrcfuasiawoes aw.
"1 will not accuse John Flynn of this
crime," said Mrs. Cuvreau this morning,
"but I do demand that every possible
measure be taken to find out how my
4aiiirhtjr met her death.
I An not believe that the drowning
was accidental entirely. There aro too
many circumstances which point to a
mntrirv conclusion. ' Margaret was a
erii wv nmcttcallv raised on and
in the water. She tad handled boats of
all kinds in an sorts er w earner mmi
irnr her ta onm her head In .an
emergency. Margaret would not have

swimmer? lmtould. handle henelf srell

: -it ia not truW. as Flvnn states. , that
he asked others of the party to go out
In the boat at the time,, On the con
trary, my nephew, W. H. Burr, was on
the beach and expected to go, but Flynn
did not ask him. Margaret's cousin,
iron, Era-nrs. also came down to the
.nj...tin in m with them, but
Flynnv Jumped In and pushed tho boat
away irom tne snore, ui
This Is" not the only point In which
Mrs. Cuvreau today refuted the story
tpld by i'lynn.
