KALAMAZOO, Feb. 22-The latest theory re-
garding the assassination of DIR. Melvin
Fasdyck is that the shots were not intended for
the doctor but for Albert Fasdyck himself, the

have been married before this 10 a certain
young woman, and it is claimed that others
have claims upon him and his marriage would
have brought about trouble.

In the pension case OF John Van Fossen, late
of the second Missouri cavalry, Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey has decided that the claimant ID
entitled TO . pension, although the war records
show that he was Q deserter. In the evidence,
however, it appears that while st his homo on

the claimant in this case was not Q deserter in
the sense that bars from pension.
