ton, they will be asked to inspect
the photographs of the fugitives and
determine, II they can, whether the
stranger who called at the club last
Wednesday afternoon and asked for
Mcbride bears q resemblance TO
either Of the men photographed.
To Question Elks.
The police also are planning to
question every member Of the Wash
ington Lodge Of Elks and, where
possible. Elks who visited the club
last week, to determine what mem
bers played pool or billiards with
Mcbride on last Tuesday and Wed,
nesday. and what members had
known him before that time.
Officers Of the lodge have been
aiding the police in every way pos
sible In their search for the man
who was last seen at the club with
Mcbride. and Detective Sergeant
Tom Walsh, from headquarters,
went with the Elks to Frostburg,
since he had expected to have
pointed out to him McBride's com
panion.
The companion in question was
not on the excursion train, although
Il Is known he paid S12.50 on a ticket
and was to have paid the balance OF
$3.50 later.
The detectives handling the case
here are unable to understand why
Mcbride should have returned to
the Elks Club Wednesday evening at
TAO, II the latest report from the
Elks' convention is to be taken as
true.
According to the report from
Frostburg, Mcbride returned to the
club and appeared nervous and ex.
cited. He spoke to no one. but af-
ter a brief excursion through the
club rooms departed.
Clue Sought Along River.
The investigation today led to the
Potomac river. One theory was that
before going into Maryland, Mcbride
was taken up the river by either
former or new-found friends. Moth.
ing In today's inquiry established the
fact that Mcbride had ever been
seen up the river.
A theory now being given careful
attention is that more than one
vehicle was used In doing away with
the oil man. 1t Is now being estab-
lished whether Mcbride was first
taken for a ride In a taxi and later
in an ordinary country wagon or
buggy.

It became known that Mrs.

Ganun, however, Is alleged to have

ters that Mrs. Giberson had written
to her husband. g..

meeting Mrs. Giberson In jail he
went to the Ocean House at . n,

voluntarily to help in clearing up

The Ocean county authorities In
delving into the past Of the Giper'

that Qiberson, who was well to do,
had been treated for poisoning
eighteen months ago. At the time
the police learned that 0iberson
