New Developments In Mysterious

Finding of Hat Bearing Name of

WINCHESTER Mass. April 22--While state and local
police preparing for another days work seeking out
the person who shot and killed Ralph W. Bewster Boston
The Caledonian-record. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1920-current, 1922-04-22

Winchester officers were turning
the spot light of the investigation
to New Hampshire. Officer Kir-
lin, who went to Pittsield, N. H.,
BreWster's former home, yester-
day, in an attempt to learn Wheth-
er the murdered agent had any
enemies who might have done the
shooting, telegraphed Chief of Po-
lice Mcintosh early today that he
would not return until late this af-
ternoon. The police expressed be-
lief that the Pittsfeld inquiry
might prove important. The po-
lice were also interested in The
finding of hat bearing the name
of Manchester, n. H., dealer.
PITTSFIELD, N. H., April %
-Dectective Kirlin, accompanied
by Sergt. Thomas F. McCauley of
the Winchester police, arrived here
today in an effort to gain informa-
ton concerning the members of
Ralph w. Brewster's family, and
any possible clues to the murderer
or the latter's motive. Their ef-
forts have been fruitless thus far.
70 Sergt. McCauley and state Off
Ger kirlin, who motored TO Pitts
field, took with them a soft gray
hat, bearing the name of a Man
chester dealer. The hat was found
near the Winchester railroad tracks
last night. The detectives are
making a general search in several
New Hampshire and Vermont cit
les, including Nashua, Pittsfield
and Manchester in New Hamp-
shire.
Brewster was killed with an old
fashioned revolver which used soft
nosed lead bullets. At very close
range two mortal gaping wounds
were inflicted, and two other shots
of the assassin went away off their
mark and lodged in the woodwork.
Evidence pointed to the fact that
the initial shot was fired point
blank at the head of the victim.
1t entered his mouth, ploughing
a terrible wound through to the
spinal cord and paralyzed every
nerve in the stricken mans body
Keeling from the first shot the
station agent received another bull
let in the left side of the heart.
The bullet continued its course
through the flesh on the right
side. Physicians declare that eth
or shot was sufficient to cause
death.
Though police officials insisted
that revenge was the motive for
the crime, yet they expressed in
ability to explain this motive be
cause it is not known that Brew
stcr had any enemies
Investigations following the
r0urflcr have revealed startling
things. Inquiry concerning the
family of Brewster shows that his
wife was the daughter of the
woman she had always known rs
her sister. This fact, known with
in the family for three years but
from the public, caused
an estrangement in which the
mother, supported by a younger
lived apart from her son
and the first daughter she bore.
