bell, who, with his wife and two small
children, was found murdered Sunday
night in the charred ruins of his farm
home near Barnard, Quarreled that
morning with Hezekiah Rasco, who is
held for investigation in regard to the
murder.
This quarrel was overheard at the
Newscomber livery barn in Guilford,
where Hubbell and Rasco had sat in
a poker game together Fthe entir.,
night. When the game broke up short
ly before z o'clock Rasco followed
Hubbell up the street to the livery
stable. He was talking loudly and
excitedly. while Hubbell seemed. so

Hubbell and Rasco went into the
barn together. Fred Newscomber said
this morning both appeared tired and
sleepy, but neither had been drinking.
Il didn't pay much attention to
them. but they evidently were quar-
reling about something. Their con-
versation grew louder and louder.
Rasco was excited while Hubbell
turned his back on him. did not
hear what they saia. but when I left
the barn they were still wrangling."
Will NeWscomber, a brother, entered
the barn few minutes after Fred
left. The two, Hubbell and Rasco,
were talking quietly then. Hubbell
got his pony on which he had ridden
in from his farm the night before and
rode away.

Rasco with the shotgun over his
shoulder went away. He was not seen
again until early Monday when his
parents say lie came home.
In Guilford mystery still surrounds
the all-night poker game over which
the quarrel between Rasco and Hub
bell arose. Although the sheriff and
county prosecutor made every effort
to obtain the names of the men who
sat in the game they were unsuccess-
full.
