THEORIES OF DOUBLE MURDER,
Detectives Advance Idea that Poker
I. Game Was Predecessor TO
.t Killing.

Detectives and constables working
in the Clark Station, Alexandria
County murder mystery. are frank
to confess they are far from a solu-
ton.
MANY theories have been advanced
and thrashed out, and now, it Is
said, the authorities are working on
teh suggestion thatsthe tragedy was
the climax of a drunken brawl and
poker game
A conductor on the Washington
Virginia Railway line between Wash
ington and Falls Church, said he
knew of Greek merchant VINO went
to Clark station the night of the
tragedy, and returned on the last car
reaching Washington at 1870 o'clock.
A detective went over the details
of the shooting as related by Mrs.
Hughes, and expressed the belief that
the tragedy came at the end of a
party"
Mrs. Hughes was known to carry
valuable diamond rings and earrings
and large sums of money with her.
1t is pointed out that had robbery
been the motive the two assassins
could easily have held her up on the
roadway and not have had to go to
the house to do the shooting.
Mrs. Hughes often was seen to
come home at different hours Of the
night. 1t would have been an easy
proposition for two highwaymen TO
have robbed her on the roadway be-
tween the railroad tracks and her
home.
