Certain phases OF this story are so i'm

and little attention is being paid to 1t
in the offices of the authorities.
The story may be given for what IT
is worth. however. for In this case 1t
has been demonstrated that some i'm
probabilities prove to be truths.
The story is that on the fatal Thurs
day night two persons, a man and a
woman, were first in the neighborhood
of Buccleugh Park. and then close to the
Phillips farmhouse. They saw a green
motor car drive up to the farmhouse
while remaining unobserved themselves.
In che car were three men and woman.

One man was Hall. The party so the
story goes. entered the Phillips farm
house and soon thereafter there was a
commotion inside the house and shots
were heard. Then two men came out
carrying the third. SO frightened were
the onlookers that they ran away.
That Is the substance of the story,
and II may be said that so far the Pros
ecutors have not examined any one who
has told any such story. The exterior
OF the farmhouse was thoroughly ex-
amined by the correspondent of THE
NEW YORK HERALD on the day the bodies
were found, three weeks ago to-day, and
there was not the slightest sign that
any ono that had been shot had been
carried out of the building or that there
had been any unusual commotion about
the place. Examination of the interior
of the building since then by newspaper
men and detectives has failed 20 reveal
the slightest thing that would lend color
to this story. although It is true that
certain signs within the house show that
recent past.

While Gov Edwards does not expect
