CLUE FOLLOWED
Hope That Murder Mystery
May Be Solved Renewed
as Detective Goes West.

Possibility that the 6-year r-old mys-
terry OF one of Washington's most cele-
brated criminal cases. the murder of
Barney A Mcbride on August 10, 1922,
may be cleared up was limited today
when Headquarters Detective Ed Kelly
left Washington for Pennington, Mo.
Although the police refused to admit
that new clues have been uncovered in
the Mcbride case, 1t was rumored at
the District Building that Kelly was
making the trip TO take into custody a
suspect in the case, which has been cre
OF the most baffiing the District police
ever were called upon to solve.
Body Hidden in Culvert.
Mcbride. wealthy Indian oil opera
tor, was slain and his body concealed in
a clump of bushes under a cu,vert near
Meadows. Md. O short distance from
the District line. His body bore Is knife
wounds, and a rope was knotted around
his throat Seven Of the knife wounds
penetrated his skull, and death was
caused by fractures and hemorrhages of
the brain.

who saw the feet OF the mutilated
corpse projecting from the bushes. A
trail of blood led from the scene around
small farm and toward the District
line. The only identification left on
the body by the slayers was a small
leather tag cunningly concealed by the
slain man between the tongue and vamp
OF one shoe. The tag. discovered BY
accident. bore the wording: Mcbride.

Identified by Indians.
Positive Identification of the body,
however. was not made until August IL.
when two Indian chiefs of the Black
foot and Chippewa tribes viewed the
body. They furnished clues pointing to
an oil feud between the Indian tribes
OF Oklahoma as the cause OF the Staying.
They told the police that Mcbride had
been In Washington In 1916 in regard
to improving the deed to some oil prop
erty he had acquired through the death
OF his wife. Ellen Deer. a full-blooded
Indian woman.
Mcbride was known to have carried
81 500 In travellers checks and to have
worn $4,000 diamond ring and other
jewelry which we're missing when the
body was found.
One of the Washington detectives
most active In the investigation of the
case was the late Arthur Scrivener,
whose body was found In Georgetown
alley with bullet wound in the breast.
The mystery Of his death ranks with
the Mcbride case among the unsolved
crimes which have occurred here.

Prove Expensive Thing for Com.
pa1i8

London, Aug. 81 UP)-searching
for lost transatlantic flyers has be-
come an important item in the ex-
pense of operating ocean liners.
Even when a flight Is successful.
ships along the route taken by the
aviators are obliged to provide an
extra watch and to communicate
the position of any plane sighted.
This is cheerfully done, OF course,
and ships are diverted from their
course just as cheerfully when the
word Is received that a plane has
been lost. But the expense to the
shipping companies is far greater
than the layman would imagine.
II a liner spends one day seeking
lost airplane. the shipping COM
pany must bear at least the fol-
lowing loss: one days extra pay
for the crew: one days extra food
for passengers; fuel for one extra
day: one day lost In port before
the return sailing. Then. too, pas
sengers may miss connections in
port or suffer business losses; the
officer and crew are forced to
work under nervous tension during
the search and In attempting to re-
gain lost time after the ships
course Is resumed.
Officials OF shipping companies
do not complain of this extra ex-
pense. Saving lives Is part of the
tradition OF the sea. There Is no
thought OF compensation. A remem-
