Anxiety to Learn Place Where
Butehery Occurred.

Lynn, Mass, October %. Seven days
have gone over the heads OF the state OIL
GERS in their search for a motive in the
murder Of George E. Bailey, the lodge
keeper Of Break Heart hill farm and there
is only fragmentary evidence, entirely
cireumstantial, to show for their work.
Best, the farm hand and male compan
ion Of Bailey is locked up In jail, bu he
maintains cool demeanor towards the
officers and almost an Indifference to the
skein Of circumstances which they are
trying to weave around him. After
Bailey's dismemebered body had been re-
covered from Floating Bridge Pond,
and Identification made sure, it was sup
posed that immediate developments
would show a reason for the tragedy, per.
haDs robbery or yet a love affair. But
today the seventh Of the search, found the
officers busiIy gathering together material
marks which might or might not be
blood stains which are to be examined
By expert microseopists. With Best
a prisoner, all outward appearances the
officers are yet unable to show what
object be had in having Bailey out of
the way. The mystery of the murder,
which seemed unfathomable last Wednes-
day is not yet dispelied, although each
succeeding day has promised an import
ant find Yesterday the officers found
What they believed to have been a hatchst
used in cutting up Bailey's body but
now There is more anxiety to locate the
place at which the butchery occurred.
A review of the evidence on which the
government viii base it's case, points
strongly to the destruction by fire Of
nearly all the Gotten and woolen material
which became besmeared with blood,
when Bailey's body was dismembered an1
therefore, the search for blood spatters
is being made over considerable area, in
and around the Break Heart hill farm
house. The presence Of Miss Susie
Young, the housekeePer, has helped the
state and local officers to q great extent
IN making clear to them the change IN
conditions in and about the farm,S as
compared with those existing when she
shared the house with Bailey. eas
Neighborhood interest in the crime
remains keen to these who have not
yet decided for themselves that the cir.
cumstRntial evidence is proving pretty
good e7id snce. In Best's case, it is likely
that the government Will ask for post
pOnement Of the hearing until matters
are IN better shape for presentation.
