BLOCKING MURDER SEARCH.
Offer of Reward for Stella Nor
rison's Murderer Opposed.
Chester County Officials Fear That
the Proffer of a Reward Would
Bring Philadelphia Detcc-
tiycs in the Field With
Whom They Will Not
Cooperate.
special to The sun.


West Chester, Pa, June l,--Practical-
ly nothing is being done to capture the
murderer Of Mrs. Stella Morrison. This
is largely due to the fact that there is no
reward to stimulate detectives in getting
to work on the case.
A meeting OF the county commission
ers was held this afternoon for the pur-
pose of offering a reward, but the sum
has not been named. 1t is said that GER
tain officials are against the proposed
offer because it would bring Philadelphia
detectives into the field, with whom they
will not cooperate. Daddy" Morrison
is we'll pleased at the testimony, which
tended to further dispel the cloud Of sus-
picion which has rurrounded hin. ever
since the day of the murder.
He has returned to the Sharpless farm
for the first time Since the tragedy for
the purpose of taking charge OF the
sell them.
The tragedy leaves him in his old age
without home, and it is uncertain as
expects to remain on the Sharpless
farm.
"some people may still think l killed
that girl" he remarked today. "But
God knows | would not have harmed a
hair OF her lead. She and / never ut
tered cross word to each other while
we lived together, for more than four
years. There is 's1ag' in the woods to
convince my enemies. | know | have
bad friends in the neighborhood OF Dill
worthtown, but what they may say now
cannot injure me in any manner"
BY the "snag in the woods" Morrison
means the stump from which he cut his
fishing pole on the day of the murder.
