SALEM. Dec. SIN spite Of the
efforts of the officers to secure a, clue,
the mystery surrounding the murder and
burning OF three members Of the Cas-
teel family and Montgomery. near
Macleay, Sunday night, remains un-
solved Two theories are advanced as
motives, one Of jealousy and the otaer
of robbery. The latter theory is sup.
ported by the finding of little cast
iron savings bank which had been brok-
en- open and the knowledge that the
family had $1,000 in cash when they
settled on the farm. William Rice, who
was to have married Martha Casteel on
Christmas arrived here today and states
the little bank contained only 500 before
the robbery, Montgomery, the foreman
who perished in the flames was to have
married Mrs. Casteel next month. Mont
gomery was regarded as a faithful
friend and advisor of the family. An
uncle OF Mrs. Casteel arrived this even-
ing to arrange for the burial of the
victims.
