RANDOLPH, MASS, CASE.
1t Remains at Present Same Mystery
as Ever.

Randolph, Mass, March oS.-The an
thorities had not found any positive
evidence early Monday morning to aid
them in solving the mystery surround
ling the death of Parker Dexter, the IL
year. old son of Edward J. Dexter. en-
sireer Of the Randolph pumping sta
ton, who was shot at his home. Sun
day. 1t has been decided to hold an
autopsy on the body of the boy for the
purpose of determining the calibre of
the revolver. from which the fatal bull
let was fired.
Harris Dexter. the 14-year-old BROTH
er maintains that an unknown man.
accompanied by Il companion, entered
the house While the boys were alone at
dinner and shot Parker
The police are reluctant to accept 4
theory that the shot was fired by burg
lars, nor does it appear plausible that
an insane man was permitted by Il
companion to use a revolver. In short
the investigation is being conducted
with the idea of unearthing proof that
the house was not visited by strangers.
that the shooting was the outcome of
the boys playing with a revolver.
No one was in the dwelling except
the two boys. so far as can be ascer-
tanned. The police expect to solve the
mystery within "a hours.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dexter the parents OF
the boys. returned here during the day
from the hospital at Boston, where
their son died. The body Of the boy
will be brought here and an autopsy
will be held
In connection with the finding of Il
fully loaded revolver in the house. Mr..
Dexter. the father volunteered the
statement that the weapon was his
personal property and that he had three
cartridges a week ago but that. last
Tuesday, he used two of them in shoot
ing at a pole cat.
State Detective Scott. who has been
here at work upon the case in con-
junction with the local police, went to
Boston. Monday noon.
Word was received here late in the
afternoon. that an autopsy had been
prformed on the body Of the boy in
Boston by Medical Examiner Draper,
assisted by several other physicians.
1t was found that the bullet entered
the head just above the ear. passing
backwards and outwards. The wound
was powder stained. and the temple
bone was driven into the brain.

the committee on the judiciary to in
quire into the authority of the execu-
tive branch of the government to make
such an order. Mr.. Carnack contended
that no such authority exists. but sev-
