police are gathering additional evi
dence in support of their theory that

Enlarged pictures Of many women
in Guerins possession ON the day of
his murder found covered with blood
indicating they were handled after
the crime was committed.
When Guerin was shot he fell un.
der n sink, but when the police ar
rived the body lay six feet away in
the middle Of the floor, showing con
clusiyely THAT it had been moved
after death. Mrs. Mcdonald was
physically unable to do this. owing
to Guerin's weight, and the police
argue that this must have been done
by man.
Relatives of Gucrin declare that his
mother died from worry because
that woman bounded Webster con.
tinually.'
Challes Friedenberg. a tailor, 1923
Washington street. was in the room
beside the body when the police ar
rived. He at fir asserted that he
did not touch the body, but now re.
fuses to talk about he matter.
Crime Planned, Seems Sure.
Herman Hanson, Guerin's office boy
living at 2G2 West Ohio street, said
yesterday that Mrs. McDouald called
at Guerins office about 3 O'Clock on
Tusday. the day previous to that on
which the murder was committed,
and that he was ordered away by
Guerin Before leaving he heard the
couple quarrelins in loud tones.
On the day of The shooting Mrs. Nc
Donald met her stepson who asked
her why she seemed worried. She re-
Piled that she could not tell him,
but that he would know the truth
within a few days or hours" This is
construed by The police as indicating
that Mrs. Mcdonald already had plan
ned the crime and was ready tol
cary it out as she did.
Bloody Marks Significant.
The most significant feature of yes
terday's developments was the dis
covcry that the ledger of the Harri |
son Art company, which was in Cue !
rims possession a. the time of the |
killing, had been mutilated by some
one. presumably by Mrs. Mcdonald. !
More than twenty pages. containing
The accounts with women patrons OF
he concern had been torn out with |
great force by some one whose fin !
gers were smeared with blood. Blood |
stained finger marks are visible in
several places on the preceding and |
pages, and from their |
size they were made by woman. |
Every effort to find the missing pages |
las failed and the purpose of the mu-
ilat:on of the ledger is explained |
,nly on the theory that the work was
lone by a jealousy y-crazeI woman.
The efforts of the detectives are
zen cred upon the task Of explaining |
low the body of Guerin was removed |
tx feet after it had fallen. and by |

iucrin fell under sink after he was
hot, but The body was found six feet
