 "Let us assume that it was too excited to hear the small warning voice which was crying out about the lost pendant And when Bells brain had become normal the small voice had become too weak to be heard. It was never able subsequently, to establish a connection between that part of the brain to which it belonged and that part where Bell keeps toll of his property perhaps it never tried again, being under the impression that its first attempts Lad succeeded. And SC when Bell was asked by Mrs. Grange to concentrate lis thoug' ts on the lost pendant he was able to repro duce the state in which his Lrain was at the time. and the a1edium was akle to hear the warning in Bells brain which Bell him. self had never consciously heard.'

 'It seemed very scrappy and incomplete to me-" was Marslands reply.

 "You have formed your theory of how this tragedy occurred'" said Marsland in- terrog atively.
 "Part of one," replied Crewe.
 Marsland accepted this reply as an in- timation that the detective was not prepared to disclose this theory at that stage.

clear up the brutal murder of Harry
F. White the guard at nitrate plant
No. l, Sheffield, Saturday morning
While no arrests have yet been made
the officers are working on several
clues which are expected to lead to
the arrest of one or more suspects
Several motives have been advanced
for the crime. Among the number
being revenge for an old arrest, jeal-
ousy and bootlegging.
The fact that the crime was COM
mitted on government property and
that government employee was
slain caused the government to take
an active part lin clearing the crime
While the general opinion is that the
crime was committed by white
man, officers are also investigating
the possibilities that a negro may
have committed the deed.
Funeral services for White were
held Monday afternoon at the home
