attempted murder OF J. W. Mackay was closed

awaiting trial. To several OF these witnesses
Rippev said in effect that he shot Mackay be-
cause he held him rssponslble for his losses IL

success in the waters not many miles from
Washington. First came Representative

glowing account Of the bass fishing in the
Virginia waters. Later, Com mnissioner OF In,
ternal Revenue Miller, who holds the record
for a single days catch in West Virginia.
strolled over to the White House to inform the
gamely in the waters near Alderson W. Va.
With recent experiences OF these three noted
fishermen on his mind it is not surprising
that the President longs for a few days rccre-
