Absolute ignorance Of a motive

no further along in the investigation

covery of the body in the Rappahan

The second clue served To take in

that il was impossible to establish the

! Then the investigators discovered
that the third clue. a piece of string
used to tie up the wrappings, could
have come from several sources, for.

from a Fredericksburg factory. To-

home, it was learned that many per
sons in all sections of the town had

T. An inquest into the death of William
Frank Dement,, 80 years old, of 1854
Spring road, which was started yes
terday but halted by Coroner j. Ram
say hewitt on the ground that the
police report was inadequate in failing
to mention the fact that Dement, was
shot while being pursued by police,
will be resumed tomorrow at 1870

ate effort by DIR. Charles Stanley

well filed with spectators, many being
friends of the dead man.

describing the fatality, had just been
concluded when. Coroner Nevitt re-
marked that there was no mention
made of the fact that Dement, had
been shot while being pursued by a
liquor squad. Coroner hewitt imme-
diately assigned this item as ground
for postponing the inquest.
Meanwhile, two policemen, George
Deyo and w A. Schotter, members OF
the pursuit party, have been suspend
ed pending the inquest, although. at
the time of the shooting they were
exonerated from blame.
Driving Alleged Liquor Car.
Dement, was driving the automobile
at the time of the shooting, losing
control when wounded, with the re-
suit that the machine ran up an en-
bankment and shattered the front
porch at 56512 Fourteenth street

have seized 100 quarts of alleged corn
