 "Arrest in Gibbs Murder Expected in Few Hours" newspaper headlines throughout Ohio proclaimed the day after the charred body of the youth had been found. Such was the public confidence in Detective DeLora, who gained nationwide fame few years ago by solving the murder of Tol edo girl who had been brutally attacked and slain by Charles Hoppe, cousin Before Hoppe went to the electric chair for the murder he had been talked into telling about his dual life as the famous Toledo clubber who had killed several Toledo women two years before

 But if the motive was jealousy, why was he robbed? On the other hand, if the motive were mere robbery, how did it happen that there was a five-gallon can of gasoline on the spot, along with a hammer. which was found, blood stained and burned. on the scene of the tragedy?
 One theory was this-that after leav- ng his sweetheart on Sunday night he met some acquaintances who had or claimed to have run out of gas; that young Gibbs, ever alert to business, drove along with the acQuaintances to the garage, and filled fivegallon pail for them; that together they started ut toward Fremont
 Perhaps in the garage or along the Way young Gibbs flashed his purse, and disclosed the amount of gold he had on his person. Perhaps the acquaintances were tempted to rob then and there-and perhaps they had carefully preconceived plot when they accosted the youth.
 At any rate, according to this theory. when Russell drove past the secluded spot where later his charred body was found. his acguaintances grasped the wheel from him and drove the car off the road. They they beat him over the head with hammer, robbed him. threw his spectacles and ring on the floor, and, acting on the supposition that dead man tells no tales, delv. ..paH tho ..l Il mor, poured the gasoline over the linn body and set fire to it..
 Those, perhaps, were the grisly pro ceedlngs which ushered out the life of the 22-year-old youth on the evc of his wedding. Perhaps death came differently.
 Just when the police were conviced that there was mystery woman-a second Doris-in the case, and that Gibbs had been robbed merely to lead the police astray as to the motive, the bereaved tiancee came forward with a statement which upset the inyestiga ton.
 T wrote that note-to girl friend of mine. Russell did not write it. ] tell you-I did"

 Detectives had not anticipated hear ing that the bride-to-be was the author of the mysterious charred note which remained legible in the midst of the mere pile of cinders to which the death car had been reduced, In fact, so con- vinced were the residents of Clyde that there was another Doris, and a mys- terious Marjorie, that they find it hard to begin all over again to search for another clue.
 Those who are interested in murder mysteries are disappointed
 "The case would be much more in teresting," they say, If only young Gibbs had written that note. But, of course, now that it develops that his fiancee wrote it-as she declares she did-the mystery is more perplexing than ever.'

 I place Ernie Schaaf of Wrentham and Jim Maloney of Boston on par at the top of the "big boys in this territory.
 Next, I rate Jack Gagnon of Bos- ton, the hard orking French Canadian veteran who recently started fistic circles by battering his way to a technical knockout over Tuffy Griffiths, the nid-westerner whom many expect eventually will be heavyweight champion of the world.
 Al Friedman, Boston favorite who fights more often than any other heavyweight in this section, gets third place. I have always previously considered Friedman a shade better than Gagnon, but Griffiths outpoint- cd Friedman in Boston shortly be- fore being pummelled by Gagnon in Philadelphia.
 In the other seven classes. I would rank the three leading New England boxers as follows:
 Light heavyweigh ghts-Tom Kirby Boston; Jimmy Mendes, New Bed ford; and Jimmy Rogers, Negro Cambridge.
 Cambridge; Arthur Flynn. Law renee; and George "Wop" Manolian Boston.
 Welterweights-Al Mello, Lowell; Johnny Indisanno, Boston; and Tony Shucco, Boston.

 Featherweights-Bat Battalino Hartford, Conn; Andy Martin, Bos- ton; and Sammy Fuller, Boston.
 Batamw weights-Johnny Nacca Boston: Harry Goldstein, Boston and Hugh Devlin, Worcester.
 FlyWeights-Harry Goldstein Boston; Ruby Dark Cloud Brad. ley, Holyoke; and Gene Bianco, Bos ton.
