Coroner Says Marks Were Caused By Heels and Have no Substan- ial Value as Leads m Mystery Surrounding Students : Death.
Alc0rn Refuses to Talk Search Renewed for Missing Weapon - New Clues" Dissolve Into Thin ,Air-Investigators Blocked at Every Turn.

Windsor, May II R-The foot print findings on the Murphy farm. one of the strongest arguments ad- vanced by County Detective Edward J. Hickey to support his suicide theory in the fatal shooting Of Wal ter Treadway Huntington. were as- sailed today by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun as 'inconclusive."
 "Footprtnts" Are lfeel Priats These footprints. regarded by Hickey n irrefutable evidence that the young Harvard junior walked alone across the lot where. he met death. were found by the coroner. in his own investigation, to be mere- ly heel prints. There was no con. elusive print that could be called | step" he declared. There was not whole foot print, only heel marks here and there.'' -=5
 These marks, according to the coroner. were made by rubber heels. and as mems rubber heels vary lit. tie in size. they could not be at- tributeA definitely to the students.
 In the face of Detective Hickeys reiteration of his conviction that Huntington was q suicide and of his statement that he was reopening . search for the missing pistol. and of the repeated statements of Medical Examiner Henry N. castelle ef Hartford and Asltnal l1apminer Aaron T. Pratt of Windser q tAeir conviction the death Wae [ 1oag1. eide. Coroner Calhoun satd that - far he had not uncovered suAicient evidence to lead him to either con. clusion.
 Both Theories Lack Support
 '"There is no convincing motive for suicide and no evidence of mur- der" he said. ''Thc authorities with whom have been working have advanced nothing to prove eitAer theory, in my opinion"
 The heel prints found by the cor oner were scattered and pointed 10 no definite course over the lot. Be- cause they were only heel prints, and not foot prints, they could not be measured, he said.

 "They may have been Hunting tons or they may have come from some one else's shoes" the coroner declared. This evidence ii not con- elusive. ag any other man xyho ha \ a similar heel on his shoe could have walked over the place. No rubber heel is unusual or distinctive enough.

GLENNA C0LLETT IN THIRD ROUND American Golf Star Defeats Miss
 Maude Bryant 8 and 2 TWO OTHERS ARE WINNERS
Miss Rollins and Mss BoOthby are Paired Against Each Other for To- n,OrrOw's Play-JOyce Wethered Crushes Mrs. ID. G. Madtll.

St. Andrews, Scotland, May H. LR-Glenna Collett, American cham pion, advanced to the third round of the British women's golf cham pionship today by defeating Miss Maude Bryant, of the Ashford Manor club. near London, 3 and 2.
 Her triumph was Miss Collects second victory. She defeated Mar jorie White of Roehampton, 5 and 3 in a first round encounter yester- day.
 The American title holders victory was scored in weather conditions somewhat similar to those that were partially responsible for her elimin- ation in an early round of the British championship of last year. She had to contend with 8 stiff southeast wind from the first tee to the last and pelting rain, which started just as she rounded the turn made con- diti0ns even worse.
 Az was the case in her match with Miss White yesterday, Miss Collett pulled out her match with Miss Bryant largely because of the de- cided superiority of her long game. On the greens the English girl more than held her own.
 Miss Collett was forced to come from behind to win. After halving the first hole. the American cham- pion went one down at the second and never took the lead until the eighth where she holed out in three to the English players four. Miss Collett rounded the turn one up and increased this lead over the second half of the route until she ended matters at the 18th.
 The English girl, however, did not so down without struggle. the tenth eleventh and twelfth holes were halved leaving Miss Collects lead at one up. At the thirteenth. Miss Bryant squared the match, getting down in five where the American needed six. Here Miss Collett took a brace and won the next three holes in succession to settle the issue.
 Observers were not inclined to favor Miss Collett's chances in the later rounds of the tournament un- less she can show decided improve ment in her short game. Miss Bryant, handicapped at six. outplayed her on the greens throughout most of the match.
 With her long shots, the American champion had no trouble whatever, but around the greens, particularly from distances of from four to seven feet, she was completely off her game. With a medal score of fl on her outgoing trip, Miss Collett could have had lead of four or five up in- stead of only one had she been able to sink holeable puts with greater consistency.
 After . night of rains the St. Andrews greens were much slower than yesterday and the American girl failed to gauge thei rpace. The strong wind also added to her put ting problems on the numerous plateau greens on the first nine, while the tenth hole was played in . heavy blowing rainstorm.
 Mrs. F. J. Hulqueen, of Toronto defeated Miss A. M. Hyde, of Sandy Lodge, one up, in another second round match. Miss s. F. Dampney, who eliminated Marion Turpie, of New Orleans, yesterday, was herself (Cnnfinued on Page 14l
