departure this morning at O'Clock of
James Whitla, taking the restored son
to the mother at Sharon, the police of
Ohio and Pennsylvania began the
hunt of the abductors. Two means by
which the kidnappors will be traced,
first, by the description given by the
boy they stole; second, through the
currency received from Whitla, which
is said to have been marked. Whitla
today gave the police all information
regarding the kidnappers at his dis
posal. Early today Cleveland police
sent out the descriptions of two men
believed to be leaders of the affair.
Grove Says they are Doomed.

Eddie Cudahy. who arrived here
few hours before Billy was found,
said today:

OFFICIAL CONFIRMS
THEORY OF MURDER
TEST MADE WITH REVOLVER
DEEPENS MYSTERY
Coroner Proves by Experiments That
Physician Found Dead in Hotel
Did Not Take His
Life

CHICAGO, June 5.-That DR.. John j.
Brinkley, sr., was murdered in the We'll
lington hotel now is the belief of Coro-
ner Hoffman and the police.
The coroner has pointed out, while
the shot that killed the old physician
must have been fired a considerable
distance from the face the victim s
arms were only ESQ inches long.
After exhaustive tests with the re-
volver found in the hotel Wednesday
with one cartridge exploded, Coroner
Hoffman stated that if DR.. Brinkley
shot himself he must have held the
revolver almost at arms length, a most
difficult position from which to fire a
weapon.
From my experiments with the re-
volver fired at varying distances from
white paper in my vaults / feel more
strongly inclined to the belief that DIR.
Brinkley was murdered" said Coroner
Hoffman.

country and mine

reception by Ambassador Jusserand
