The trail of Charley Ross" led to-
day to the Jamaica race track, when
II became known that Ward had
occasionally bet large sums on the
ponies. Acquaintances of the young
man also volunteered information
that Ward has admitted losing a.
much as $4,000 at cards in a single
session
The theory that a woman may be
connected with the case is prac-
ticaIy abandoned. Wards lawyers
and his family also deny that
thrsats regarding his claim for ex>
emption from military service dur
ing-the war have anything to do
with the affair.
Investigators are working on q
theory that Peters was killed when
he was only partly dressed and thar
his body was carried some distance
and placed by the roadside. The
absence of any trace of the gun
Ward says Peters fred at him is a
peculiar feature Of the mystery.
Mrs Ward continued to stand
loyalty by her husband. She freely
discussed his drinking iodine at ,
a. m one day. six weeks ago, and
insisted he had mistaken the poison
bottle for one which contained a
headache remedy.

Wards confession are cleared up,

Ward Swallowed Poison.
Ward swallowed a nearly fatal
dose of iodine about six weeks ago,
according to DR.. Orville H. Schen.
of New Rochelle, the Ward family
physician. who was summoned and
saved Wards life Schell declared
his belief that the taking of the
drug was not a case of attempted
suicide.
The date of the poisoning ap-
proximates that given by Ward in
his confession Monday as the one
on which he first was visited by
the alleged band of blackmailers
Investigation in and near White
Plains today brought out facts and
reports which tend to contradict
details of Wards confession. Doubt
arose that Peters was killed at the
spot near the northern shore of
the Kensico Reservoir where his
body was found.
Find Flaws In Confession
The discovery that the fatal bull
let had pierced Peters shirt and
underwear, but not the. coat and
vest which clothed the body when
ii was found tends to discredit
