cards unsigned message, written in
apparently an aged or disguised
hand, read. Harry Kirby worked for
Bertha Guild in Needham, Mass.
She has not been seen since Thurs
day.. The card was postmarked

fact that Kirby's time before that
and since has been accounted for,
the message appears without foun-
dation!E

been on the ground floor, next to
the kitchen food slide. At that
place, the prisoners went to get all
their food. They also loiter by time
in that place, to talk things over
and since Kirby's arrival, to view
the much talked about new arrival.
His cell is now No. 10, on the sec

about u.s., O'Clock yesterday after
noon. A party of searchers had been
all through the Gray cottage, where
Kirby had been staying. Every cup
board, cubby hole. crack and crevice
had been investigated for any posi-
BILE clue to aid in the solution. The
searchers were upstairs and down
and all over the place. The search
there was about over.
Il looked under the front steps. on
the north side of the cottage. 1t
seemed likeNe foolish thing to do. but
just did it. AS looked under the
ing through from the other side, q
sort of rim, no larger than the end
of lead pencil. 1 dashed around, to
the other side of the steps. Guess
everybody thought 1 was crazy. And
there, underneath the steps, on the
right hand side going down, I found
the gun" This is Mr.. Danes story
of how he found the gun.
1t will be recalled that Kirby
claims he threw the revolver which
he owned, 80 calibre Smith &
Wesson. as far as he could into the
lake. He claims he stood between
two small birch trees on the shore of
the lake and this was the spot he
picked out when he took the search
ers over the scene Of the crime on
Wednesday of this week. He says
he threw the revolver away so that
no suspicion would be directed
towards him. Much Importance is
attached to the finding Of the revolt

was a Harrington & Richardson gun,

theft from that place and says he
thinks he may. have thrown those
spoons into the water. A black tin

to the stealing at Mosely's camps,
that he took two tin boxes, broke
one up and threw the pieces out into
the lake and buried the other in the
Garden back of his house on Royal
