regarded as almost a record by the

White Plains, n. Y. June a.
Westchester oounty's shooting mys-
terry was still hanging fire tonight
seventeen days after the body of
Clarence Peters of Haverhill. Mass.
was discovered lying on country
road near the Kenisco Reservoir.
The latest development-the arrest
as a material witness of James j.
Cunningham, race track habitue, with
a version of the shooting that diff
fered from that told by Walter S.
Ward, when the wealthy baker sur
rendered himself with the statement
that he had fired in self defense
today led into fresh territory-Con-
necticut.
Investigators from White Plains
went to Stamford, this morning to
search for n Joe Jackson" alleged
by Cunningham to have been shot
at the same time as Peters and car
ried to a private hospital in the
Connecticut city for treatment. Des-
pite dispatches late this afternoon,
asserting that the quest had been I'M
successful. District Attorney Weeks
tonight expressed the opinion that
there was "a good chance of getting
something definite soon"
Mr.. Weeks asserted that Cunning
ham. lodged in Jail, still stuck to his
story, although both the district at
torney and the prisoners attorney,
Maurice j. Mccarthy. said that the
account published in newspapers
appeared a bit twisted" They de-
clined, however. to make public the
version they had obtained from
Cunningham himself
The newspaper account TO which
reference was made quoted Cunning
ham as stating that the wounded
man had told him several days be-
fore the shooting of the blackmail
plot to which Ward himself has made
cryptic reference While Ward has
declined to reveal the nature of the
blackmail threat. or against whom II
was directed, the newspaper story
asserts that it involved some one
other than Ward as n victim-and
that the shooting occurred in Wards
home, after an effort had been made
to convince a representative of that
Eerson, by means of distograph from
Wards library to his cellar, that
Ward himself was working with the
blackmailers.
