Motive For Murder
Comes to Light

WHEELING, Nov. 30.-After nearly
seven years, 1t Is believed that the
real motive that caused Mooney and

eccentric and very, saving disposition,
he did not feel that the money was

him, which was not revealed to any
members Of the Hervey household.
Investigation Just after the murder
showed that only a small amount Of
money was in the house, but present
developments point to the probability
that Mooney and Friday in some way

taken his money from the bank. and

their desperate purpose. Thus It
seems that the whereabouts OF the
money was largely secret known
only to Hervey and his murderers. AS

shooting In which she replied to many
questions that she did not remember.
Turner reviewed the story of the re-
