MOL MAR MURDER
 MYSTERY DEEPENS
CContinued from Page D

All clues unearthed by the police weave intes what the police consider, unusually strong links of scircunastan-
 tiaI evidence. There is now no doubt but what the bullet caused death and
 that the burning, considered nlysteri- ous all along, resulted from the ig- hitting of sonde highly inafimable ma teria1 such as gasoline. The police have no doubt as to death taking place at some other place than where the body was found and that it was carried there It is not believed that it was carried far or that it co1$1 5 have been without detection. The se- cIuded spot is not a great way from the Molmar home and is practically the first really secluded Spot from it.
 Over the sodden mud flats in the face of a pelting rain storm detectives today went carefully through the
 thfclzet where the body was found. 1 Practically no new clues bearing on the case were discovered Emphasis was laid on the small area, smaller than the body, that was burned in the grass under it.
 Again the details connected with the condition of the body were gone over
 thoroughly. It, was pointed out that
 Appearances indicated gasoline being l poured on the clothing from shoulders Ito hips. It was here that the burn ing was the greatest. The upper parts of the legs were irregularly 1 burned.
 EsNaSuperintendent Birmingham and de- ittectfves believe that the pipe and ring I were placed upon the body with the Efdea of diverting attention from the true cause of the death..
 is Officials consider it suspicious that Inc Identification of. the body was made until Medical Examiner Garlick gave I the cause as accidental and it was bur lied in potteTss field with practically no
 Likelihood Of It's ever being exhumed and the little leaden pellet d discovered under the burned and deconposing flesh Likewise they consider it high Afolnar made no recorded inquiries or lvfsfted the morgue when Afo1mar had lbeen absent for nearly two weeks. It is known that information concerning 1.-the body being at the nlorgue was ifreely circu lated in that part of the. lefty in the hope of having s5meonea Iidentify him. The police are try ling to establish the fact that official 4notidcation and inquiries were made
 at the doImar home
 4 It became necessary to identify the ,l body as Melmar in order to secure the linsurance. unless 1t was shown that < he came to his death as a suicide. How land why Kerekas happened to ap- ' lproach police officials with tip as
 to who, the dead man might be when 1.-the Identification became necessary is also under a therough if1vestigaiIons The police believe that it was then Z <Econsidered safe to make the identff- 53 cation on account of there being con- : sl would ever be sexhumed. It was ap- : narer1tlY believed that the autopsy { would never take place and that the
 f1eaden bullet, proof of crime would $ remain in the grave undiscovered4
 Detective Sergeant Fox was assign 2 ed to the case as soon as Coroner e Phelan learned of the discovery made i in the autopsy. Tn KereIzaA room : was found a .32 scalibre revolver The bullet found in Molmar heart -was ! that ne found the revolver in g. freight s8 car near the Crane plant about four z years ago and that It has been in his possession since then.
 a Under close police questioning Kere- D kas said that he had known the Mol q mars for about six years, had been , their neighbor much of the time but 2 had lived at the house only since No

 a better friend than NTo1mar As to :. the last time he saw him, he says ii z was at 6:45 o'clock the morning ot
 November 5 when the former went tc { lock for work z
 Denial was made by him that he | and Molmer never wore each others clothes and that the partially burned 2 trousers found on the body had been e given the dead man by him. Kere- s kas is employed at the Crane com 7. pany plant and Moimar had been . until the Tuesday proceeding hfs ' ' death
 O When the body was found Dr. Gar.
 lick doubted whether accidental burn.
 ing from a lighted pipe could have
 caused such a blaze. also whether 2 le man could haeV been fatally burned $ through that fashion, at least wfthou - making a violent struggle. No sig1
 of struggle was found about the body
 or surrounding ground The only sex.
 pIanation was that he was unconscioui s1 from alcoholics Molmar's acquaint 8i'l ances and fellow club members sa1 yz that they never knew him to becon, O. Intoxicated and that he was of ; . peaceabIe nature with no known enc 5 mics. He had lived in Bridgeport fe F. 1.sf a number of years.
