 Sheriff Fred Hamilton last night admitted that Benton was suspected and that his photograph had been sent to Wike for identification week ago. He refused tp give any reason for his belief that the man is connected with the crime but said he was sure there were two friends Of Benton's who knew something of the crime.
 Upon his arrival Wike would make no statement beyond saving that the photograph of Benton resembled one of the two men who. he said, had entered the Smiths room the night Of the murder.
 Sharon. June r LP-Frlends of John L. Wlke here were not let into the secret that he was to fly to Oklahoma to look at suspect in the staying in April of David and George Smith under arrest there. Interest was taken in the report that Wike. with Lawrence Sturges, brother-in- law of the Smiths, and Thomas Rose. d state officer, had flown to Muskogee. Relatives of Wike had nothing to say and there was no comment at the home of Sturges
 Sheriff Fred Hamilton Of Musko- gee was here on visit recently. having come east to see if any clues were in the mortgage records of the detunct New Milford Security com pany. He also had taken q liking to Wike and r. C. Seeley of Washing ton, and had been convinced from the outset that the Smiths were slain by men who belonged in Oklu- homa.
 Hamilton returned home deter mined to follow up every clue which might come in hope of finding the slayers Of the Smiths He seized one R. L.

Noted Educator Bitterly Criticizes

She went into Eddie's room and sat

was happy. Quite satisfied. She
counted the days until Sunday.
She went to see Adelaide the next
day, an Adelaide in new black which
did not look new on her, vague pur-
poseless Adelaide, who moved about the
house, carrying things and putting
them down, and then forgetting what
she had done with them. Missile gath

But she was shocked to find that the re-
union, for which she had sacrificed so
much, meant little or nothing to him;
that he even felt strange with her. He
seemed to remember his toys better.
He was in frenzy of excitement over
his toys. He would pick them up and
run to the nurse with them.

"You forget that was raised TO WORK

Nurse her! She wouldn't let you in

And then at last Missile broke down
All the strain and tunult of the past
few days was in that outburst OF hers.
She felt driven, lost; she hao been

When she was quieter she found that

she heard Grace coming down the
stairs.

the Colfaxes," she said. But you'd
better stay overnight. You can have my
bed. I'm sleeping on the sofa in her
room anyhow.
There began then a curious interlude
fer her. She was neither asked to stay
nor requested to go. Cccily. slowly dy-
ing in that upper room, ignored her
presence in the house. Missile never
saw her until she lay dead, stark and
more mysterious than ever.

While he was there, Missiles peace was
definitely gone.
1t was not only Eddie. Wesley was
barely civil to him, and between him

the materials she had at hand, her poor
