 Bloody Testimony
 An overcoat, stiffened with blood despite the fact it had been washed vas said by sheriff's office attaches to have been found on Lohlein's premises, and his car, housed in a shed behind his rooming house, was also said to have borne blood stains and to have been marked with a bullet hole.
 Mystery attaches to the informa- ton source that led Sheriff Davis and his deputies to the scene of the homicide and to the Lohlein apart ment. Nothing was known of the affair when earlier in the evening, Twalnley went to Lohlein's rooms and took from him an automatic pistol, believed by the officers to be the weapon with which Summers was killed.
 Lohlein Collapses
 On receipt of the story of the killing. Sheriff Davis and Deputy Jim Cook went first to 130 North Montezuma and there found Loh- lein on the porch, apparently trying to regain entrance to the house. It was then about o:30.
 You have killed man," Davis said.
 Lohlein collapsed, according to the officers, breaking down but not saying anything except that late in the evening he had been "out that way"
 immediately upon lodging the ac- cused ill the county jail the officers hastened to the spot where the un- known informant had said the body would be found. There, just as it had been described, they said they found the remains, easily traced from the roadside by the trail of blood and tracks ip the snow. The body lay approximately 100 feet from the roadside, giving evidence that it had been dragged out of an automo- bile and thence to the place where it was left
 A bullet hole pierced the head and there had been much blood.
 All that could be learned last night of John Lohlein was that he was employed as a saddler by the Arizona Saddlery company, on North Cortez street.
 Summers was raised in Wyoming, according to the best recollection of w. NJ. Coburn, prominent cattleman of South Pleasant street who told the Tournal-Miner the deceased had worked for him in Montana and in Arizona, both at Globe and on the ranch of the Coburn Cattle company beyond the Verde, in Bloody Basin country.
 He was not a quarrelsome man, ." Mr. Coburn said. "Yes, he occas- ionally drank. He was between 5l and g years old and not married. He has relatives in Wyoming. l believe he has a friend living at the Rief hotel, named Tom Wagner"
 Wagner could not be located last night.
 Continuing, Mir. Coburn said that Summers had come to Arizona to work with him about 8 years ago at Globe. Later, about three years ago, Summers came to work in Yavapai county. Still more recently he had been cattle inspector and at the tipe of his death was employed by Jack Crabb, manager of a cattle outfit near Flagstaff and chairman of the cattle sanitary board.
 Summers came to Prescott day before yesterday" MT. Coburn said. "I talked with him yesterday"
 Possible Motives
 Speculation as to the possible mo- tive led to two theories last night, one of robbery and one of a quarrel resulting from intoxication.
 Policeman Twamley was called by women living in the rooming house about 9 o'clock, to disarm Lohlein, whom the women said was display ing several guns. Twamley secured two guns, a .22 and B automatic from the women who had taken them from Lohlein. A third gun, a .45, was found in the top of Loh- leins trunk.
 About midnight, on the return of the officers from the scene of the homicide, Coroner McLane was call ed and proceeded 10 the spot with
