ARGUED FOR SUSPECT LEADS

Under the belief that in the arrest

of circumstances around the suspect
which they believe will ultimately re-
suit in his Indictment and conviction.
Working upon the theory that some
where in the murder mystery there
is the eternal triangle the sheriff
and states attorney are certain OF be-
ing on the right track in their con
victions that EspOsitO knows more
about the killing than he is willing

of Mrs. Strangloi who tried vainly to
get the man out of Jail, pretending

She intimated that two men came to
their home Friday and talked with
her relative to the sale Of a dog she
and her husband owned. and she aver
red they might have had a hand in
the staying Yesterday Sheriff Ayers
spent the afternoon on this Clew and
came home convinced that neither of
the men knew anything about the
murder He was also convinced they
had no motive for. perpetrating the
crime. They admitted having called
at the Suangloi home relative to the
dog proposition, but when they found
Strangoli was out they went. away
Esposito and Mrs Srangloi. were at
home alone.
If an affair of the heart existed. as
they claim it did, between Mrs
Strangloi and Esposito, the officials
can see motive for the Staying. In
their Investigations they learned that
Mrs StranglOi wanted TO move back
to Chicago, but StranglOi refused &c
leave Marseilles. Esposto, it was
anxious to move to Chicago. Then
on top of that there was an admission
from the woman that she had met
her boarder. who claimed TO be q
cousin, in Chicago and spent seyera
days there.

Search for Gun.

Esp0sito who had a reputation as
a gunman, after shooting Nick Bruno
three times two years ago, disclaims
any knowledge Of gun. A search
of the house failed to disclose wea-
pons of any kind. The home was ran
sacked from top to bottom without
results. At the time of the Bruno
shooting Esposito gave his revolver
to girl with instructions for her not
to divulge to anyone what he had done
with the gun. Someone saw the man
giving the girl something, and the au
thorities finally wrung from her a
story that Esposto gave her the gun
and that she bad hid it. She later
turned it over to the police. As the
Strangloi home borders the river
bank, the waters near shore may be
dragged in an effort to trace the
weapon.

is concerned. The five men from Rolla
put up a very good game Of football
