Byrd who, according to press dispatches, occupies the president's chair in the magnlfi cent New York offices of the Air craft Construction Transportation corporation, of Delaware, capital ized at $100,000,000, and who claims to be a former resident of Salem, is not known as far as could be learned today. Mr; Byrd, talking from a back ground of mahogany, told newspa permen he formerly "bought and sold theaters , in Salem, Oregon." Salem financiers and former the ater men said today they had nev er had the pleasure " of making Mr. Byrd's acquaintance. According to dispatches, the backbone of the selling argument placed in the hands of the sales man for the corporation is the assurance that the company, sometime when it sells enough stock will build and operate three monster airships, each 300 feet longer than the longest Zep pelin of record, to operate a pas senger, mail and express carrying service between New Tork and Chicago. Hal Patton, " Salem stationer id pioneer theater man here, said this afternoon he was not ac quainted with Mr. Byrd. Frank Bligh who, with his father, T.

Leonard J.-Christler, rector of St. Marks Episcopal church of this ciy, from his wife and that, fail ing, she shot the minister and then herself, is the belief of Blsnop Frederick Faber, head of the dio cese of Montana, according to a statement made by him today. "I believe, as a result of the In vestigation I have made of the tragedy which occurred in the Christler home early Friday morn ing and after questioning those who know about it, that if this woman had been able to work her will on Mr. Christler he would be alive today, unfaithful to his wife but still living," the bishop's statement declared. Regarding the investigation ol accusations involving the names of Mr. Christler and Mrs. Carleton which he conducted a year and a half ago, Bishop Faber said: Bishop's Statement. "No formal charges were ever filed against Mr. Christler. Let ters came to me containing state ments detrimental to Mr. Christ- ler's character. I came to Havre and insisted that the persons making the accusations present their tes timony. When they learned that their evidence was to be taken down by a shorthand reporter, they would not testify. "I set a second data for a later hearing when I could stay no long er in Havre for that purpose, the vestry of Mr. Christler's church fixed another date, but the test! money was never given. I found evidence which made me believe that the accusations were animosity on the part of the persons making them, due to ac tivities of Mr. Christler which had nothing to dqyith Mrs. Carleton mr. unrisucr was a Dig man, physically and mentally, an out doors man and he did many things In novel and unusual ways. He had many activities for the benefit of his fellow men which were outside ordinary charch work and many people were to be found who were willing to find fault with him. A Closed Incident. So far as civic authorities in Havre are concerned, the double shooting Is a closed case. The coroner's verdict has been brought in "and Mrs. Christler has left for Waterloo, N. Y., with her hus band's body to bury him in hlB old home in Cayuga county. A statement that the inquest over the bodies of Mr. Christler and Mrs. Carleton was not secret was made today by R. G.
