Wharton had been killed In his apartment, where he was en tertaining two guests. Cloud said the sheriff's office was convinced the shootings were moti vated by financial differences involv ing the three men. and that a violent quarrel concerning money Wharton and Bolte owed Howard preceded the ahoottngs. "Our investigation has established that a man we know only as C. M. McDermott was the third person in the room at the time Wharton was slain." Cloud said. "We believe he was not Involved in the shootings, but other officers now are looking for him in the belief he can clear up minor dealls pertaining to the trag dy." leaped From Apartment Cloud aald McDermott was the man who leaped from Wharton's apart mpnt flftor three shots had been fired.
