 Hartford, Jan. 19 LP-Detectives assigned to investigate the shooting of Mrs. Clare H. Gaudet of New Haven and Dr. Harold Guilfoyle of this city, in the Guilfoyle apartment following a dinner party last night. were confronted today with the problem of picking from the state ments of the interested parties and witnesses something on which to base 8 motive for the crime and which would also indicate which one of the party actually did the shoot ing.
 One of the chief developments in the case today was the holding of Mrs. Harold Guilfoyle in $10,000 bonds as material witness after she had told police that her husband confessed trying to take his own life.
 Other developments were a state- ment made by Gaudet, that he knew Dr. Guilfoyle to be "queer" but did not think that he would have shot Mrs. Gaudet and himself: Mrs. Gau- det's apparent inability to account for her being shot; and the state ment of police that Mrs. Gaudet had been a frequent visitor to the Gull foyle apartment and had been caught in an embrace at. least once by Mrs. Guilfoyle.
 Mrs. Gaudet's mother and sister, residents of Hartford, and her hus- band. Maximin J. Gaudet of New Haven, remained with her at the hospital during the night and today.
 She was able to speak with them from time to time and the family said today that several times she asked the question:: Who could have .,bs,q it.''

 Late this morning Mrs. Guilfoyle told the detectives. that soon after the shooting and while he was still in the hallway. the doctor told her that he had shot himself.
 As soon as she had said this she was taken to police court for ar- raignment.
 She was held in s10,0OO bonds for q continued hearing and then. &C., companied by two police detectives she was taken to the hospital to confront her husband with this story.
