LETTER GIVES
A NEW CLUE
AS To What Caused the
Death of Clarence
Peters
WRITER KNEW WARD
SO LETTER STATES
Prosecutor Weeks Expects
Informant in White
Plains Soon

White Plains, n. ", May 25--lnves-
tigators to-day continue to delve into
the story of Walter s. Ward, wealthy
baking company official, who confessed
killing Clarence Peters, ex-navy man,
| in fight growing out Of blackmail
plot
Latest developments have aroused
the question as to how long Ward had
been acquainted with Peters before the
killing. New revelations, expected from
an anonymous letter received by Dis
trict Attorney Weeks, were looked for
to-day
The prosecuting official IL confident
the writer, who claimed to be soldier
and to have known Ward, will reveal
his knowledge as TO what caused the
death Of Peters.
* do not believe crank wrote that
letter. said Mr.. Weeks, who showed i
to reporters, but did not read IL And
| have clue as to how can reach
him. | would not be surprised II he ar
rived in White Plains some time to-
day and talked, What he says, ! be-
| lieye, may be OF great value in tracing
the hidden depths Of the story Ward
tells"
The Peters family in Haverhlli,
Mass, claims TO have a postcard from
young Peters from South Carolina dat
ed early in May. Peters was rejected
BY the marine corps on May II. Al
lowing for the shortest possible time
Peters could not have arrived in New
York before May 10, and he went on
his death ride on the night OF May 10.
The blackmail plot had been going on
for six weeks, according to Ward
story.
The statement Of police from sur
rounding towns that Peters was seen
ON Ward Baking company trucks sew
eral times before his death was made
known to the authorities here and
would indicate that Peters was about
Ward for some time before the killing
occurred.
Investigators employed by the Peters
family have notified the authorities
here that they are trying to run to
earth the reports that Ward may have
known Peters in Boston. which would
date the acquaintanceship back of the
time that the dead sailor tried to en-
list in the marines.
Sheriff George Werner says he has
tho gun used by Ward
IL can produce Wards gun when =
is needed said the sheriff, "and II will
show that more than one shot was
fred"
How about Peters gum" he was
asked
II can't say anything about that
be replied.
The sheriff displayed the garments
found on Peters and showed, that =
bullet had pierced the vest and shirt
in front and passed through the coat
vest and shirt in the back. This indi-
Gated. he said. that Peters must have
had his coat open when the shot that
killed him was bred.
The entrance OF Investigators for the
Peters family has added to the tension
and complicated an already mysterious
situation.
