Immediately after the shooting Chief of

shows that the bullets were not intended
for young Harries. 1t Is my opinion that
they were all fred by him. but for what
purpose I cannot say. He claims, I un-

the house through the dining-room win

some marks on the sill but after a close
examination we have failed to find any.

So convinced are the police on both
