Metnuen. Mass, Aug. 1U.-AS tnc re-
suit of autopSes by the medical exam
in"rs and half days search by the
state and local police, it was the opin
ion of the authorities at noon today
that Police officers Charles II. Emer-
son and Frank McDermott, whost bod
les were found in the bushes of a
meadow outside the town yesterday,
were shot down by band of foreign
ers similar to those who appeared last
month in Jamaica Plain, when three
persons were killed and many wounded.
The autopsy showed that MCDer-
mott was shot three times and Elmer
son once. and that two of the wounds
on McDcrmott were fatal in character.
but that the other resulted in instant
death Emerson is also supposed to
have lived few minutes after being
shot.
The only clcw received by the police
up to noon was one from a milkman of
Lawrence who reported that a Poland
er boy who worked for him asked yes
terdav morning, 10 hours before the
discovery of the murders, if he (the
mllkmam had heard of two policemen
being knocked out in Methuen. The
police were endea voring at noon time
to get in touch with the milkman and
his boy.
Medical Examiner erosion of Haver-
hill and Dow of Lawrence performed
the autopsies on the bodies of the po-
licemen and shortly before l Z. M.
completed their Investigations.
They reported that they found that
McDermott had received three bullets
and Emerson one, but that the shoot
ing was probably either so close or
with high powered weapons, that the
bullets passed through both bodies.
One of the bullets struck McDcrmott
in the back and passed through the
right lung. and then went through the
breast. A second struck the officer IN
the neck aid ranged downward, pass
ing out behind the shoulder. A third
apparently entered the right temple
and went through the head. The first
and third bullets would have been SUI
ficient 10 have caused death, but not
inStantaneouSly.
Emerson was struck by bullet IN
the right side. which passed through
both lungs. but which did not probably
result in instant death.
Both bodies showed signs of having
been pummeled by rocks or sharp
stones, and McDermott's skull was
slightly fractured, while there was
dozen cut on Emerson's forehead.
It was the opinion Of the police thai
both officers were discovered by q

Politicians Change Names

Politicians more anxious to
hold office than to preserve the
name of their ancestors may
enter a stampede to change
their names or all persons
whose names begin with "a"
may suddenly take an interest
in politics unless the legislature
makes it harder to change
names or changes the primary
law. The last primary dis
closes that the person who is
first on the list alphabetically
stands a big chance of winning.
1t is believed this advantage
amounts to ten per cent Of the
vote which is a big handicap to
anyone down on the list.
Inc legislature some years
ago passed a law providing
that person can change their
name without expense and
without much formality with
out the expensive and trouble
some task of getting a bill
through the legislature. All
that is needed is to file a sworn
statement with the county
auditor in the county wi ere
the person lives and with the
auditor of each county in
whi:h the person owns rop-
erty.

south. There the butchers and
confectioners always have

window keeps it quite fly free"
