The u boys sleep in specially con-

 Evidence of Fight

Chattanooga, Tenn. June 27 P- Officers who had been searching for Dr, W. D. Mason. veterinary sur- geon. and Lawrence Bowman. aide of federal prohibition officers and alleged feudist who disappeared on Signal mountain Thursday night, returned to the city today without trace of the missing men.
 Finding of Dr. Mason's aban- doned tomobile-blood spattered and the hats of the two men near by was regarded as evidence that & fight had occurred and lead to the belief that Mason and Bowman had been killed and their bodies carried into the forest. A heavy club be- dieved to have been used by the assailants was found nearby.
 Sheriff Tom Selman said he thought Mason and Bowman had been lured to the mountain by a fake telephone call. waylaid on the road and put to death. Bowman is the leader of a faction which has been at war with the Godsey clan since Sam Godsey killed Ike Bow man, a brother, several months ago. The feud is said to have originated because of differences between rival gangs of moonshiners.
 Lawrence Bowman recently figur- ed in a raid led by W. E. Grubb, federal prohibition officer, during which the former shot Luther Grif- fths, alleged member of the Godsey gang. Grubb has also been drawn into feud, having aroused the enmi- ty of the Godseys when he captured one Of their liquor runners. As a result of his arrest, Grubb accused Sam Godsey, deputy sheriff of Sequatchie county of attempting to bribe him 10 free his aide. Later Gcdsey shot Grubh on the streets of Chattanooga and is now under bond.

JUDGE OLSON SCORES
 HANDLING OF TRIAL
Complainant in Shepherd Case Criticizes States
 Methods

Chicago, June 27 R-Chief Jus tice Olson of the municipal court of Chicago, who sponsored the inquiry which led to the trial of William D. Shepherd, expressed disappointment over the verdict last night, but de- clined to discuss future plans in con- nection with the McClintock will.
 This case is still pending. despite the verdict" he said, and l do not want to indicate the next move until the details of the trial are all at hand.
 We have followed the trial close ly and are certain that a great deal of admissible evidence was not of- fered by the state.
 Grove did not cooperate with me, and was never welcome at the offices of the states attorney"
 Grove called me to the witness stand without having discussed my testimony, or having asked me what II knew of the case. Several other witnesses who appeared before the coroner's jury never were offerd by the state in the trial.
 Tt is not to be expected that 8 man will be convicted of murder unless evidence of murder Is pre- scented against him.
 'I sent 8 full typewriter state ment of my knowledge to Grove be- fore the trial and on the witness stand I was asked two or three ques- tions by the prosecution and then turned over 10 the defense attorneys ! for cross examination.
 T may have something to say about the case sometime before g bar association convention. but l do not wish to comment further on the case now"
 Judge Olson detailed the testi- mony Of several witnesses before the coroner's inquest who were nei called in the trial
 "There are 2 number of new an. Eles in the case which ve are not yet ready to discuss" Judge Olson i concluded.
