The situa ton seems to be that

Hidden in some remote spot which
has not yet been discovered by the
police, lies red sweater, suit of
overalls and a lead pipe, the property
of Elwood B. Wade, self-confessed
slayer of George E. Mott of 265 judi
son avenue. Since August %, the date
of the murder, the officials have
| searched diligently but in vain for
| these missing articles which they be-
lieve will complete the chain of evil
dence which has been built UP against
the youth who is now awaiting trial
on charge of murder.
With every other place having been
thoroughly searched, the police again
turn to the dismal swamp in Easton
as the most likely hiding place for the
lost clothing and wea pom. Several eff
| forts have been made to recover the
articles by dragging the pool where
the trunk containing the body of the
| murdered man was found, but these
| have met with no success. 1t was
| said today that the police have not yet
decided whether they will ask that
| the swamp be drained. Owing to the
| nature of the ground and the great
| depth of the water in the swamp, it is
| doubtful that this task could be ac-
| complished without the expenditure
| of great amount of time and money.
| Articles of clothing recently found
in the Dewey street cemetery were
yesterday discarded as offering any
possible clue in the murder case
| Wade's parents inspected the clothing,
| and informed the police that it did not
| belong to their son.
| At the present time, the police feel
sure that they have collected all evil
dence in the case except the missing
clothing and the pipe which Wade is
said to have used in killing his VIC
tim. Much of this was presented at
| the coroner's hearing.
During the battle on the stairs. in
| which Mott was shot and dubbed pre-
| sumably by Wade. the victim received
| a bullet in the head besides being
struck with the lead pipe. This fact
was brought out by an X-Ray which
! was recently taken. showing that the
! lead pellet entered through the top OF
| the head and lodged in the jaw.

THREE DEAD FROM

Baltimore, Sept S.-The list of fatal
tiles among civilian employees of
Echgewood Arsenal resulting from
drinking some form of poisoned al
coho1 was increased to six today by
the death of Nelson Lucius of Roches-
ter, N. Y. The condition of the other
two known victims is said to be Sc
riouS.
Thus far the men have refused to
tell where they got the liquor
After an inquest held yesterday
over the three who were dead at that
time the coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the man had died from
poisoning by either wood or denatured
alcohol.
A large quantity of alcohol for CHI en-
ical purposes is stored at the post, the
military authorities said, and because
of thefts of the liquor there has been
an inquiry.
