 Today's discovery was the second within as many days, the stock Of another shotgun having been given to the authorities yesterday by a camper who said that he had found 1t in the shallow waters of the beach The barrel has not been found.
 The offering of rewards by private interests for the recovery of the shot gun led the authorities to express skepticism in regard to today's find. The complete gun discovered by the bathers was 12 guage. Physicians have said it was a 12 guage shotgun which was used in Kennedy's staying.
 Both Burch and Mrs. Obenchain who were classmates at the time the llatter's former husband. Ralph, was a student at Northwestern university, Evanston, continue to maintain their silence as to their possible knowledge of the staying. Mrs. Obenchain a.so has been indicted for murder.
