MAZE OF CLUES TO

cred in. a maze of clues concerning the
death Of Mrs. Ethel Raab. %, and Il.
w. Flagler. 81. in a residence fire
early Monday, detectives turned reso-
lutely to the task of elimination,
theory by theory.
The first step was an autopsy on
the body of Flagler TO ascertain II
the fluid contents of the stomach
would reveal presence of drug or
poison. Another "a hours must elaps'
before the chemical tests are com
pleted.
Police were trying to locate jewelry
which the nurse was said to have
worn observation-disclosures rings and
brooches valued at $4,000. They
were gone when her body was found
crouched by the buffet in the dining
room. in an attitude Of prayer.
Evidence dug up by the fire probing
committee and city officers indicates
that Mrs. Raab and Flagler probably
met their death short time after
they entered the suffered residence.
or that they were drugged as soon as
they entered and regained conscious
ness too late to escape the flames. The
fact that both were fully dressed and
Flagler was wearing his hat lends col
or to this belief.
The absence of any kerosene con-
tanners in the house strengthens the
theory that the fire was started by
someone who left by the front door,
locking il after him. The back door
was locked and had no key, it was
learned.
The twisted portion Of key, found
in the lock of the front door, short
distance from where Flagler's body
lay. is a link in the chain of evidence
supporting the theory of murder. 1t

slumbers by the smoke and flames,

own house key in the lock, and twist

door.
Flagler was drinking heavily Mon

proprietor, who told of seeing Flagler
in the lunch room early Monday morn

marked that he was going out TO see

Miss Evylna Patterson. sister of the
dead woman. arrived in Houston Tues
day afternoon from Galveston. Police
questioned her Tuesday and again to-
day in an effort to find some clue
which would aid them in their search
