mystery surrounding the shooting OF

Olive d. Jones, divorcee, was in.
creased yesterday by facts uncover.
ed by police department investiga-
tors. Mrs. Jones, who claims she
fired in self defense, faces a charge
OF murder.
Officials declared important points

edy had been contradicted.
investigators intimated that the
discovery of a piece OF looped wire
outside the window, near which the
body was found, was considered of
importance i'he wire, together with
the marks believed to have been
caused by shoe nails, indicated a
possibility that Black was shot in
another room from the one in which
the body was found. and raised or
lowered through the window, it was
said.
Mrs. Jones former husband de-
clared in Cincinnati that prior to the
shooting, plans had been made for

Boston. Dec. 2S.--Down'town res

excessive charges for food. District
Attorney Thomas c. O'Brien reported
to the Legislature yesterday as the
finding of the Suffolk county grand
Jury. The charges fall heaviest on
those who can least afford them
shop girls, clerks, stenographers and
men with families who earn only
small salaries-the jurors found,
and they asked for legislative consid-

Profits were declared to be out OF
proportion to the capital. In one
chain lunchroom. operating on com
paratiyely small capital, II was found
that one man drew s175,000 as his
share of the profits last year. Two
of his associates were paid $4,000
each in salaries and dividends, and
each received $4,000 as bonus. An
other lunchroom. not part of the
chain system, made approximately
$3.50 900 last year, the report said.
The grand jurors found that while
prices of raw material had fallen
about 25 per cent in the past year
there had been no substantial de-
crease in prices charged at lunch
counters and restaurants.
