Jcalousy the Cause?

According to a theory advanced by the police jealousy might have been responsible for the crime. The police believe that Wise is guilty of the mur der and think that he was madly in fatuated with the girl and that possi- bly, she had either rejected his affec- tiOnS and advances or that they had quarreled. Then, goaded to anger, he may have committed the murder, it is argued.

Many Stories Anoat.

Since the discovery of the murder there have been numerous stories anoat concerning the couple, many of which however, should be discounted as the usual sensational aftermath.
 It was learned today however, that Wise took his razor to 6, Main street barber shop yesterday and had it honed. It has also been learned that Wise and Mrs Tobin were seen sitting together in the c. c. l.. factory door,

PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER
SAYS STORED GOODS NOT

CRIMINALS ARE

CHARLESTON. w. Va, May 6.-That
there 10 muoh confusion among the Of
ficers of the several counties over the
right of individuals to store more than
one quart of liquor ia their homes even
for personal Use has been made manifest
from the numper of inquiries Lodged with
the state prohibition deosrtment.
Prohibition Commissioner w. = Hal
lanan in letter to Sheriff j. X I.ltsen,
OF Brooke county, yesterday endeavore.l
contemplate rhat liquor Intended ior
personal Use should be molested. but
warned the officials tn be vigilant in
watching those who had liquor stored in
their homes ior the purpose OF sale Tn.
letter the Brooke sheriff follows:
81 am in receipt of your favor Of Ma,
., making inquiry as Il whether large
quantities OF liquor stored i'm cellars prior
70 May ,. 1917. is violation of the Law.
I'm reply j beg to 'dvise that a per-
son may have in his home more thai.
one qnart OF intoxicating liquors without
violating the iss, provided that the
liquors are in g''cd faith and for personal
Use only, and that snch having il in nc
way a shift, scheme or device To evasi
the provisions of the law. SECTION "a of
the prohibition law does prohibit any
one from bringing into the state, or ear
ryiRg from cne place To another within
the state an any manner, during any
period OF 30 consecutive days, more than
one quart OF intoxicating liquors for per
ceived at this office that there is SOM
confusion in the minds of the public be-
tween the provisions OF the la~ govern
ing the possession of liquors in the home,
state. You will understand, o. course,
that Q great many people, in good faith.
and for personal Use only, may have
brought into their homes prior To May >.
more than one quart of intoxicating
iiqu )rs, and this for the very purpose oi
having on hand a reasonable supply OF
liquors for personal Use, which would
obviate the Necessity after May , of max
ing monthly trips outside of tine state for
the purpose Of obtaining liquors for per-
sonal Use. On the other hand, there are,
no doubt, large quantities OF liquors stor-
ed up in other homes in this state for the
purpose OF sale. We ADVISE that the loc Al
officers IN every community Keep close
watch over all suspected places Of the
latter class, aud # it develops that any
one has liq1oT stored IN his home ior un-
lawful Use, any person who has cause t.
believe, and does believe, that such
liquors are being unlswfully sold or dis
pensed, may make complaint before any
justice OF tie peace, mayor, Judge Of ths
circuit court, or Judge Of the criminal
court or intermediate court and obtain
