MURDER OF WAIF
DEEPER IN MYSTERY
Believed That Investigation of
Child Will Reveal Scandal.
Father Norfolk Man.

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. THE mys-
terry surrounding the death at the city
home. twelve days ago, of the waif
which had found shelter there has only
deepened since the investigation Of the
parentage and death of the child. That
the child was murdered there seems
scarcely any doubt. as It was twice
poisoned. The theory that IL was aC-
cidenty poisoned does not gain much
Roadway.
The police have apparently agreed
with the man known TO the public as
Thompson, and who Is believed 10 be
the father. that there is no evidence to
connect him with the murder. That the
name is fictitious is conceded by the
police. but the officers refuse to reveal
his identity. The man IS believed to
be prominently connected socially and
in business in Norfolk. The mother OF
the child also is believed 10 be promi-
nent. II is rumored that a considerable
scandal will be stirred up when the
names of the parents OF the child final
~ become known.
The grand jury will resume the in
vestigatiOn Monday morning, when il IS
probable that the mysterious Thompson
Will be called To the stand In that
case IL is probable that the parentage OF
the child will be established.
