mob at the demand of Col Rexford.
When the officer and his accompanying
soldier entered a street car for refuge

Prosecutor Asserts Tompkins
Owed Mrs. Humphries
$1,000.

EBBENsBURG, Pa, July l6 - Sheriff
Mulhollen and County Detective Custer,
investigating the murder of Edmund
Humphries, his wife and son near Car
rolltown yesterday, gave out a state
ment tonight in which they said II had
been learned that there was a difficulty
between Mr.. and Mrs. Humphries and
George c. Tompkins, the fourth member
OF the automobile party, over money
matters Mrs Humphries had lent
Tompkins $1,000 to aid him in purchas-
ing one-fourth interest in the Newborn
Coal Company. She demanded the re-
turn Of this money and there were hot
words.
When the trip was started to Phila-
delphia yesterday II was for the purpose
OF having Tompkins place a mortgage on
property he owns there that Mrs Hum
phries might receive her money. Sheriff
Mulhollen further asserts that Mrs.
Tompkins refused to come to Cambria
county TO live and she objected to her
husband remaining here. Tompkins is
said to have brooded over the separation
from his family.
The developments of to-day included
the discovery of the revolver with which
the crime was committed and the finding
OF new witness, Joseph Westover OF
Barnesboro, who saw a man staggering
along the road yesterday morning. blood
dripping from his face. and another man
driving toward the fleeing one in an au-
tomobile. Westover believed the man in
the road was drunk and paid no further
attention to him. but when he heard OF
the murder he came to EbbenSburg and
told his story.
The warrant charging Tompkins with
the crime was read to him in the Ebben-
burg Jail this morning. He did not lose
his nerve during the procedure, but ap-
peared to be as calm as any of those ir
