manda Park Sunday night, for the ar
rest of McAdam's slayer. No addi-
tional light has been thrown upon the
mysterious case. McAdam's is said to
have been in excellent spirits by every
one who saw him Sunday night just be-
fore the shooting occurred, and the the
ory of suicide is therefore not generally
accepted. On the other hand there is
no reason to suspect any particular per-
son of the crime. and the mystery may
never be cleared. McAdam, Udell and
Turner accompanied young lady friends
home from church Sunday evening, and
afterward met to go home together to
Lamanda. They parted at the store at
about midnight, and very soon after this
the shooting must have taken place. The
most peculiar feature of the shooting is
that up to the time that the deceased
friends left him he had not been in the
least despondeEt. and ii seems hard to
believe that il he contemplated suicide
within q few minutes he must have
shown some sign of such an intention.
James and Robert McAdam say that they
will leave no stone unturned in the
search for their haIf-brother's slayer.
