The body of Johnson Hemphill, AZ. a

through the heart.
I Mystery Surrounds the four deaths.
What occurred up to the time Hemp

how the house was set on fire are de,
tails which Coroner Stulz. today, vain
ly endeavered to ascertain. A double
barreied shotgun with one empty shell
was found in the little kitchen near
where the body of Hemphill was dis
covered. The latter was said by neigh
bors to have been on friendly terms
with Mrs. Wharton and ii is declared
they were at a moving picture show

Whether this caused fight between
tie two men during which Hemphill
was shot by Wharton or whether
Hemphill killed himself after a quarrel
are questions being asked by those in
vestigating the case.
An incubator, which stood in the
kitchen of the home. may have been
responsible for the fire in which the
three members of the family persisted.
