which comprises members of the Will
mington colony, had farewell dance
in the carousal building last night
The committee Of arrangements

men, Wilbur Sasse. Lew Miller and
John HOrty. They had everything
for the comfort and pleasure of the
"Roosters" and theil "broods." and
some fine dancing and music was wit
messed. The master of ceremonies
was Lew Miller and he was ably as
sisted by Ellwood Brown as door
keeper. Handsome souvenir tags
were presented to all the Boosters.
These were made in the shape of a
tag with two ribbons in yellow and
maroon attached TO them Printed on
them was the inscription Admit
Rooster -- and his whole family"
That eminent buck and wing artist
John Horty, delighted the Boosters"
with his stepping, and the cake walk
by Mrs. Ellwood Brown and Mr..
Horty was greatly appreciated and
caused great applause. The "Roos-
ters," chorus rendered their repor-
torres of summer melodies.

The finding of the wild cherry tree.
from which the murderer of Mr. and
Mrs. Ann Casey, of Claymont, twisted
the club with which he perpetrated
the crime, is regarded as the most
important find yet brought to light in
connection with the case. There
was a difference of opinion between
the detectives when they saw the
tree yesterday afternoon, one of
them feeling confident that it was the
tree and another having a different
opinion.
To make sure the detectives cut
the stub from the tree off which the
club was supposed to have been
twisted and also took charge of a
smaller piece which was found in
bed of ashes of what had been a
fire. This second piece was thought
to have been removed from the small
er end of the club. The detectives
then sent to Wilmington for the club
which the murderer had used and
they made the startling discovery
that the two stubs fitted the ends Of
the blood stained club. Even the bark
responded, so that all doubt as 10
where the club had been procured
has been eliminated.
The tree from which the club was
taken is located almost on the water

FOOTPRINTS NEAR CASEY HOME
INDICATE ONE MAN KILLED COUPLE

by Assistant City Solicitor Armon ID.
Clayton. and at his request Deputy
Registrar of Wills William Lyons, Jr..
had been appointed guardian ad litem
for the young woman.
Had the deaths of the couple been
natural Il is easy to see that Miss
Casey would have received nothing
Now she has a chance to receive
portion of the estate.
Under the conditions OF the death
OF the couple it seems that the grand
daughter only needs to prove to the
satisfaction of the court that her
grandfather died after her grand
mother and then she may receive his
estate.
The question of who died first is
therefore a most essential point i'm the
case so far the the will is concerned.
Letters of administration were
granted on the estate of Mrs Casey
to George Lodge, an attorney. who
filed both wills with the register. His
appointment was requested by the
brothers and sisters of Mrs. Casey.
In order TO avoid future difficulty be-
tween parties interested It was deem
ed advisable by the attorneys that
the register of wills also grant let
ters of administration pen iente lite to
disinterested party and the letters
were issued to the Wilmington Trust
Company.
Examine Dead Couples Effects.
This morning William Bush, a rep
resentative of the Wilmington Trust
Company and Mr. Lodge went to
ClaymOnt and made an examination
of the effects of the murdered couple
at the store conducted by them. Mr.
Lodge took charge of the papers and
valuables of Mrs. Casey and Mr. Bush
gathered up all of Mr.. Casey's effects,
including the money found in the
safe. which the murderers left behind
his day book and a pastboard box of
papers.
Mr.. Bush said he had not counted
the money taken from the safe, but
thought there was about $40. He said
there was about $40 in such change
as a storekeeper might take in. an
the transaction of business. The re-
mainder was money Mr.. Casey had
probably been collecting for a num-
Der of years and included old pen
nies, nickles. dimes,-quarters half
dollars and silver dollars.
Neither Mr.. Bush nor Mr.. Lodge
made an extended search of the build
ing, but will probably do so later and
] in the meantime the store will he

Casey, half brother of the murdered
man, who lives on the other side of

walked through the corn field, going
around the field in question instead
of through It.
This point has not been decided,
but It is thought that the man came
from the river shore first and after
committing the crime returned. De-
tectives Gillis and Ratledge are now
satisfied that the tree found by Con-
stable Whartonby is the one from
which the club was twisted.
Much importance is also attached
to the finding Of the clothing in
Dead Mans Hollow" some distance
from where the wild cherry tree is
located.
Deputy Coroner Gaynor has not

tion of the contents of the stomachs

No Inquest Date Fixed.
No time has yet been fixed for the
