GRIMES COMMITTED
BY THE SAME PERSONS?

to leave home because Of having found
a letter which indicated that the fore
man Of the section on which they We're
working, with his two sons, was a
member Of a gang Of desperadoes. The
mother said that these three men had
beaten her son and ordered him to
leave Seminole and never return on
pair Of death.
The detectives who have been in
vestigating this story do not now be-
lieye that 1t is entirely correct. There
SENS TO be no reason to doubt that
Gunreth and a companion were run
out Of Seminole year ago by a sec
tion foreman and his two sons, but
say those who claim to know the cir
cumstances, it was not because the
two had discovered any letters belong
ing to the others.
According to the best information
that the officers are able to get, the
section foreman believed that Gun
reth and his companion had assaulted
his eleven-year old daughter. He and
his two sons took the young man out
and administered a brutal beating and
then ordered them to leave the coun-
try. The section foreman and his
sons shortly afterwards disappeared
but the officers have their names and
believe they will be able to locate
them.
One puzzling feature Of the matter
Is the fact chat thus far the detect
ives have been unable to learn the
identity Of the young man who left
Seminole with Gunreth. They say
that they will do 50, however, and that
when they do 50 the identity Of the
man whose murdered body now lies at

OFFICERS HAVE ADDITIONAL EYI-
DENCE TO CONFIRM THEORY
ON TRAIL OF THE
ASSASSIN OF GUNRETH
Murdered Man Here May Prove to
Have been the Companion
Of Gunreth

Oklahoma City, Aug. 7.--Detectiyes
who are endeavoring to solve the mys-
terry which surrounds the murder Of
Wilbur Gunreth in or near this city
last Wednesday night, I'VE following
up every clue which might lead to the
location Of the section foreman and
his two sons who are said to be re-
sponsible for Gunreth and one COM
panion leaving their homes in Semi
mole a year ago.
These three men are known to have
harbored lasting enmity against
Gunreth and bis friends and this hat
red furnishes the nearest approach 70
a possible motive for the crime that
the officers have thus far been able to
discover.
The belief Of the officers that there
IL a connection between the murder
Of Wilbur Gdnreth and the killing Of
an unknown man in box car on a
Chiekasha ten days ago, was strength
ened yesterday when W. A. Crawford
Of Iowa and his son, G, c. Crawford,
after viewing the body Of the man
found in the box car az Chickasha,
stated positively that It was not that
of Earl Crawford.
The officers are now working on the
theory that the man whose body was
found in Chickasha is the companion
who left Seminole with Gunreth a
year ago and that the same persons
are responsible FOR both killings
To the officers, and again on thl
witness stand, Mrs. Marie Nedeau, the
noiher Of Wilbur Gunreth, told a
story of her sons having beer obliged
