SENSATIONSEEN
IN MILLS CASE

A new sensation in the Mills muir
der mystery is looked for within the
next twenty-four hours.
While investigators assigned to
find the slayer of Edward l.. Mills,
dairyman at dawn July :, have been
following one course of action, GER
tain influential citizens, high in the
affairs of the county. have been fol,
lowing the case closely and yesterday
confided their theories to the detec-
tives and States Attorney Robert
Peter, jr.
AS result of later developments,
a. man prominent in the community
and up TO this time not mentioned as
a possible suspect, may be held.
BY a process of elimination, inves-
tigators now hold that they are CEN
tering their attention on two posi-
BILE suspects. One OF them already
has been questioned, the other is the
new factor in the case.
Either of the two now being inves
tigatcd could have written the long,
unsigned confession" found pinned
to the shirt of Mills when his body
was found dead in his pasture.
There are some connected with the
investigation who are already con-
