which led up to the killing of Clar-
ence Peters.
The letter. containing such state
ments as Il was there when it
happened" and walt Cward) came
home at $3.50" is the long-awaited
confirmation of the suspicion that
a number of socially prominent
Westchester people have direct
knowledge OF the Peters affair. Tn
less 1t is ignored by the prosecut-
ing officials. it will infallibly lead
TO final solution OF the homicide
mystery which has ripped the whole
social and political fabric of the
richest county In the country.
The writer of the epistle Is Mrs.
FRANCIS j. (Franklin) Burke, of
Scarsdale, residential park mid
way New Rochelle and White
Plains.
II was addressed to Mrs. Charles
5. Dubois. Of Atlantic Highlan nds.
y. j.. one Of Mrs. Burke's intimates
and herself friend of the Ward
family.
The letter was later the means of
identifying one other guest at the
bridge party of May Is. She is Mrs.
Alfred Hook. who lives directly op-
posite the Ward home in New Ro-
chelle. Her given name is Frances.
and she is sister of Mrs. Burke.

TREASURY REPORT
RESULTS IN BURST
OF BOND BUYING
Wall Street Predicts Good
Market for Bonds, and
Buys Victory 4As.

NEW YORK. July 26.-Overnight
news of the Treasurys plan to
call about $1,000. 100000 or a third
Of the Victory ANS for redemption
on December Is this year. coming
simultaneously with an announce
ment that s30o.o0o.ooo in four-year
AZ per cent notes would be offered
August / and made exchangeable
for Victory AIS, brought a verit-
able outburst of buying during the
day In victorys. Old Victory ANS
between August l and December
Is, IL was said. can be exchanged
at their face value for the new
four-year notes. Wall Street traders
predicted a good market for the
new notes and bought the Victory
ANS today because of the right
which they carry up to a certain
amount to be converted into the
forthcoming Treasury obligations.
II was the rumor that only in this
manner could the four-year securf-
ties be had, since the full quota
might well be taken before the
cash buyers were given their
chance.
Victory ass Better.
On this news the Victory 4%s
were able to improve their position
by Is cents on the 500 piece. when
selling at the days best figure Of
100.76, but even then were "a cents
below the years highest level.
Well over $4,000. 900 of these bonds
exchanged hands through the me-
dunn of the New York Stock Ex-
change. and that of course takes
no account of the big volume dealt
in over the counters. and known as
outside" buying. which never ap-
pears on the ticker tape. Liber-
tvs were again firm and the first
AXIS established a new high record.
Industrials.
Among the Industrial bonds
greatest popularity came to the
sugar issues, due partly no doubt
to the recent upturn in the sugar
stocks.
Prices generally were firm over
the whole list. but trading was
brisker early today than during
the later hours.
