him to n restaurant for a square meal,

would not say whether he meant a com

Fuller.
1t will be for Magee to explain why Miss
Fuller left work unfinished on her desk
II she stayed at the office so late on that
half holiday because certain papers had
to be finished that day in order to be
ready for imperative use early Monday
morning. Also, why she was partl!
dressed for the street when she met hei
death.
Had she and Manager Magee had Q
difference? Why was she leaving this
imperative work unfinished?
Magee's own statement at the time OF
his arrest estops him from claiminp
now that he held the revolver and that
1t was accidentally discharged. for he
said then that he was in another room
when the pistol was discharged.
One of the officials engaged In the
investigation thinks this Is the real solu'
ton OF the motiveiess killing OF the
! young woman, however.
He thinks that Magee once more
pressed his suit with Miss Fuller, and
on her refusal threatened to shoot
either her or himself, and taking thu
revolver from the drawer went through
the process OF loading II to frighten her

that Magee denied this In the first In
