STATES ATTORNEY AND

SECRET ERRAND
SCENT GETTING HOT
OFFICIALS GUARD MOVEMENTS
"FlUSHIN0r THEIR QUARRY.
EXPEDITION FOLLOWS TIP RE
cEivED YESTERDAY.

States Attorney II, f. Kelly moved
the scene OF his investigation of tho
Esmond murder from Ottawa today,
to follow down clews which he un.
earthed late yesterday, and which he
Is yelling in deepest secrecy in an ef.
fort to thoroughly trace and shift
down without outside Interference.
The county prosecutor in company
with the sheriff left the city early
this morning.
Before his departure Mr. Kelly an
n0uneed that he had been called out
OF town on matters pertaining to
solution OF the murder mystery,
which for twelve days has held the
undivided attention of county officials
IL is believed unravelling the skein
OF evidence, is almost at an end
which will ultimately lead to the ap.
prehension OF the guilty man who
fled leaving the body of his victim
lying dead with a bullet hole through
his heart at the crest of DimmicK
Hill
The theory which clings. through
out the peFliiaary Investigations is
that the murderer fed to La Sale
or Oglesby after the shooting. and
that inexperience and amateurism led
him to drop the gun used in killing I
EsmoHd
Ralph said he would defend him |
self OF he was ever held up" said |
q friend OF the slain man few days |
ago in speaking of tho crime. This (
statement leads to the theory that I
Esmond either tried to drive off the (
hold up man when he was given /
orders to put his hands up without (
a struggle, and was shot for his brave I
defense Another theory is that he
knew and recognized the man who
rited his pockets and was killed by
the man who robbed his pockets to
avoid detection and punishment for /
the crime.
County officials today declared that I
no arrests We're made in the affai~
either last night or today, or that no
one had been taken in custody for
investigation or questioning
Late yesterday several persons Wis
tied the States Attorneys Office, evi
IDENTIFY to furnish whatever aid they
might render by information thew |,
picked up on the affair.
II is believed that today's investiga
ton was made as result OF inform
alton obtained at this time.
