BURNS THEORY
IN ROY MURDER
(ONTRADICTED
Evidence Of Struggle Ger.
tain, Say Those Who
Saw Body.

The body of little Eva Roy bore
positive evidence of the struggle that
must have taken place between the
child and her unknown assailant be-
fore she was done to death in the
pine forest near Burke Station, ac-
cordlng to members OF the party Of
searchers who found the child's body.
This statement was made last night
In refutation of the theory advanced
by William J. Burns. the famous de-
tective now on the case, that the IL
year-old girl tainted at the sight of
her murderer. Mr.. Burns IL quoted rs
saying that the child might have been
taken unawares and been unable to
put up a struggle before she was
killed.
Was Cut and Bruised.
It was stated by eye-witnesses that
the girls arm was torn from shoulder
to wrist. and that one hand bore a
cut that went clear to the bone. On
her breast was q large bruise sup
posed to have been the result OF either
a blow from the murderer's fist or
his heel. Her clothing had been torn
to shreds and bits were scattered over
the ground for several yards around
NhS EpOt "hCtC tho body was ASe'e-
A few yards from the tree where the
body was tied a circle of trampled
weeds and small bushes bore tesu-
mony to a struggle Of some kind.
In regard to the theory that the
child's nails were too short to have
inflicted any scratches upon her as
sailant. 1t has been stated by those
viewing the body before burial and
when 1t was exhumed recently that
while the nails were short they were
still long enough to have made some
marks.
Walter oliver, attorney for Lou Hall.
the woodcutter accused Of the crime.
stated late last night that he regarded
the fact that Hall had refused to at
tempt to lay the blame for the deed on
another's shoulders as one of the
strongest points in his favor.
"I disagree with Mr.. Burns" he
said, ''in his theory that an innocent
man accused Of the murder would en-
deavor to shift the responsibility for
the act on to another's shoulders. In
my opinion a man knowing that he
himself was guiltless would stand firm
In the knowledge Of that innocence
and not try to put another in his place

Mr.. Oliver said that he was ready
to prove that some one had planted
evidence against his client.

tective of his own" Mr.. Oliver said.

to prove an innocent man guilty Of a
horrible crime and he has neither the
brains nor the money to fight them.

Commonwealth Attorney Ford
stated last night that ne could not
make public at the present time
the results of the examination OF
the supposed blood spots on Halls
shirt. Mr.. Ford admitted that some
importantfactsb bearing on tho case
might come to light today. but re-
