 Outcome In Doubt
 The outcome was as much in doubt today as it was before the delegation left Massachusetts and last minute efforts were being made by both factions as the meeting ap- preached today 10 win the additional support required to insure victory. The delegation was so closely divid. ed that It Was reported that it might be decided by a single vote.
 In her campaign Mrs. Thayer has had the support of Mrs. Bird, who 7'I' ittt'I lO AHdlTIl13n fFanCla Prescott of the state committee a few days before the delegates started for the convention. sharply criticiZ- ing the committee for endorsing Mrs. Batchelder.

FOURTH MURDER
 BLAMED 0N BANDITS
Body Of Lamar Bank Cashier Is Found in Kansas Shack

Liberal. Kansas. June 13, R- Discovery of the body of a man in an abandoned shack near here to- day left four desperadoes who re- gently robbed bank at Lamar, Colo. credited with a fourth murder. The body was identified as that of F.. A. Kessinger. assistant cashier of the First National bank of Lamar. He was abducted by the robbers May 23, last, when they fled with 6 large amount of loot, after killing A. N, Parrish, president of the bank, and his son. John Parrish, the cashier.
 Located in the bad lands of west ern Kansas. the shack apparently had not been searched by hundreds of possemen who patrolled parts of four states for several days after the robbery. While there were sug- gestions that the body may have been placed in the hut recently. this theory generally was secuted.
 A school girl member of the pie nic party found the body yesterday The man had been shot to death, ap- parently more than two weeks ago. A rusty pistol lay on floor. Identifica- ton was made through a lodge card, a masonic ring and hunting license belonging to kessinger. However authorities decided it would be nec- essary to summon relatives of the missing cashier before positive identi- ty of the body could be announced. Members of his family are en route.
 Little hope was held that Kess- inger's life would be spared, after the robbers summond Doctor w. w.. Wineinger Of Dighton, Kansas from lis home the night Of May o4 and shot him to death. The physician presumably was called 10 administer to one of the four wounded by the two bank officials who were killed. The doctors body was found in gully along with his automobile and medical equipment.
 Although posses, aided by air planes, searched parts of Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska and Oklahoma they failed to locate the fugitives. The robbers obtained about $1o,o0 II cash and s7G,o0o in bonds.
