Con- fronted with many theories and clues, they have worked out every one of them. Many of these clues were eliminated, and when the story, as told by Paul Walicki, was heard the police became satisfied that Wrinkle met his death along the lines that the investigation now discloses. I also have information that those who knew intimately of the affair, have been tempered with, and in instances have been threatened should they make any admissions in the case."
