between hootlegging factions was
the theory advanced Tuesday by
authorities investigating the muir
der. DR.. b. r. Matheney, county
coroner, considers the theory plaus-
lille and other county authorities
are inclined to agree with him.
The county authorities are con
WINGED that Walkers murder was
brought about by mysterious fac
tons said to exist in Glen Elk
when members Of the gang became
aware OF the fact that Walker was
in possession of information that
he might have used against them.
1t is generally agreed that certain
mem bers Of Clarksburg's under
world Sang saw fit to have the col
ored hotel porter murdered, pre-
sumably by hired gunmen from
some metropolitan city, when he
had become too intimately ac-
quainted with their operations.
The investigators have no doubt
that the murdered man possessed
much valuable information con
corning the Illicit operations OF
Glen ELK gangsters. 1t is known
that Walker was engaged in illegal
liquor traffic himself and the the
DRY is that his murder resulted
from war between different IN
named factions in tho city's ten.
