Longmont, Colo, Dec. G.-Deyelop.
ment Of a clew unearthed by a police
man eliminated Friday in the arrest
OF Renzie c. Dickens, a son Of William
II. Dickens, the wealthy Longmont
banker and merchant assassinated
last Tuesday night. on charge of be-
ing his fathers slayer. Dickens was
taken into custody at the close of his
fathers funeral, as a result of evil
dence gathered by the authorities and
which District Attorney Fleming an
nounced would be the basis OF formal
charges of murder against Dickens.
Dickens maintains he is innocent
but refuses to discuss the charges
against him. The purchase of
high-powered gun in Denver by the ac-
cused man furnished basis for the
collection of evidence against Dickens
which the police characterize as "in-
eliminating" The gun was purchased
month ago from Denver hardware
company. Payment was made with
part cash and a check on Longmont
bank. The purchaser later obtained
"silencer" and this information fol-
lowing the staying Of the Longmont
banker was given by a clerk OF the
store to Patrolman Il. L. McKinnon.
McKinnon in turn informed the police
department and search for the gun
and silencer was made about RenZie
Dickens home
Various parts were located in his
garage. together with box of cart
ridges, five shells of which were found
missing. When first questioned, the
son OF the murdered man. according
to the police. denied having ever
possessed high-powered gun. When
confronted with the parts picked up
by the police he admitted he had pur-
chased the gun. the authorities say.
The stock OF the gun was found with
the box of cartridges behind n trunk
In the rear of Renzle's home, the
silencer on the top of rafter in his
garage. The barrel OF the gun was
found in n barn block away.

range between s35.000 and 10000 and
a motive for the shooting OF the elder
Dickens is claimed by the police In
the hopes of inheriting his wealth at
an early date.
That II was the intention OF the
slayer TO kill the elder Dickens and
his wife with one shot, Is the belief
Of the police.
The bullet was fired. II was found
