Presuming that the conclusions of the
detectives, state and county officers and
newspapermen are correct, William Z.
Gay of Granville, married to a good
woman, father of ten year old son and
eX-farmer of property mortgaged for
four thousand dollars, deliberately
drove to the bank, drew out all his
money, faxed a bloody murder and dis
appeared.
The cIumsiness of the fake seems to
have definitely revealed the frame
up and the motive, whatever it is,
cannot be justified on any ground.
Whatever Gay may have thought or ex-
pected or feared, there is no question
about his having left his wife and son
practically fiat broke, - with an en-
numbered property, a cheap automobile
and no word of explanation or farewell.

unable to have his purpose carried out.
Just after the Senate met Senator
Harrison wanted to know what was in
the minds "of the leadership on the
Republican side" about adjourning at
