EDWARDS MURDER
MYSTERY STILL UNS0lVED

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 6.The mys-
terry Of the shooting or Charles A. Ed
wards of New York at the Hitler fam
lily homestead on College street last
Tuesday night was apparently deep as
ever when the coroner resumed his In
vestigation today. The coroner. how
ever, has given no sign OF discourage
ment.
The search for the weapon with which
the murder was committed went on to-
day, gang OF workmen continued their
inspection OF sewers In the vicinity Of
College street by the coroner's order.
This search is being made on the the
DRY that the murderer In leaving the
scene OF the crime disposed OF the re-.
volver by dropping It In sewer pocket.
The catch basin at Temple and Wall
streets was opened today and search
made there.
The fact became known today for the
first time that the authorities have some
reason to think that Mr.. Edwards was
not shot MS he lay In bed In the guest
chamber where his body was found,
but that he was carried into the cham
Der after the shooting and placed in the
bed. This theory Is based on the dis
covery Of several blood spots on one
OF the stockings worn by Mr.. Edwards.
Jie was found In bed dressed in his un-
derclothes and stockings. The left
stocking was wrong side out as II
the wearer had put It on that way by
mistake and at the instep were a mum.
Der Of small drops OF blood On the
bottom and side OF this stocking there
was considerable lint. while there was
no lint on the other stocking. The IN
ference which the detectives have
drawn Is that the man was carried from
another room to the guest chamber af-
ter the shooting and that the left foot
trailed along the floor. The blood spots
II they came from the wound In the
head could reach the stocking only
when the man was standing erect. The
bullet entered the upper part OF the lett
ear and II the victim were standing the
drops from the wound might fall on
the left foot.

Mr.. Christensen, and all the facts with
