BLOOD SPOTS CLUE
 IN SMITH MURDERS
Stains on Wilkes Coat May
 Prove Important Evidence

Muskogee. Okla. April 30 LP) - Alleged blood spots found on d coat worn by John Wike, one of two travelling companions of George and David Smith, Connecticut capitalists, today added more mystery 10 the staying of the Smiths here Saturday night in a hotel.
 Wike, whose home is in sharon, Conn.,. and P. G. Seeley, of Washing ton, Conn, the fourth member of the automobile party whose visit to Ok lahoma ended in tragedy, are to be given preliminary hearing today on charges of murder. Both deny any implication in the slayings. asserting the Smiths, who were brothers, were shot by two robbers who fought with the victims in their hotel room. Warned By Friends Reports from Connecticut that George Smith, whose home was in Cornwall. Conn, and David Smith, who lived in sharon, had been warn cd against certain hard characters" in Oklahoma. today added another new phase to the Investigation.
 Wike, Connecticut dispatches re- vealed, had attempted to dissuade the Smiths from making the trip be- cause of these characters, and had said that mo one could tell what they might do to a fellow"
 Announcing that they sought more information concerning the warning police were trying to check all per sons with whom the brothers had come in contact during the trip.
 Chemist Makes Report
 States investigators last night said that three spots found on Wilkes coat had been declared by a chemist to have been made by human blood
 Wille told Philip K. Oldham, as sistant county prosecutor, he was un- able to account for the spots, which were on the back of the coat, near the shoulder.
 | Officers were particularly inter- ested in the alleged blood stains be- cause they said Wike previously had denied being in the room when the brothers were slain. InveStigat tors be- 1 lieved the blood came from wound i in David Smiths throat. They said they were seeking to determine how the coat could be stained if Wikc was in another room.
 Wike has contcnded, officers have , revealed. that he was in an adjoining room when the Smiths were slain. The brothers occupied adjoining i rooms, with connecting door. and Wilkes story, which investigators have been unable to shake, is that he was in one of these rooms, with the Smiths, when the two men en- ! tered.
 Bound and Gagged Him
 A desperate fight started when the two unknown men appeared. Wike said and the four fought their way into the adjoining room, where he heard shots. Then the two intruders came back 10 the room where Wike had remained, bound and gagged him, robbed him of a small amount of money and carried him into the room where the dead brothers lay The Smith brothers were travelling through Oklahoma, Investigating mortgages of the now defunct New Milford Security company of Connec- ticut.

Left Feet Free

What could bandits hope to gain hy binding Wilkes hands but leaving his feet free? Is it reasonable to be- lievc that Wike lay silent several minutes after seeing tho robbers leave and after removing gag" How could Seeley remain in the bathroom shaving during the fracas without curiosity causing him to open the door to sec what was happening? :? Wikc as Seeley says or that Wike ungagged himself as Wikc says? If Sceley had q clear conscience why did he leave Wike tied 5 minutes until officers unbound him? How could the bandits have left through the south door, as Wikc said, when the assistant manager of the hotel found it spring-locked on the in side and the north door locked with the missing key?
 If robbery of the victims had been the motive why did the bandits leave Smiths ring in Seeley's grip? If the ring was in the grip on the night of the murder why was it not found when police searched the grip? Why was not the ring found and disposed of by Seeley who lived out of the grip for two days before the ring was discovered? What is the eXplan- Gtion of the blood drops on Wilkes coat?
 If George Smith were wrestling face to face with his assailant, re- ported unarmed by Wilte, how could Smith have been shot three times with pistol pressed to his breast so closely that powder burns result cd? If the bodies were not moved after the shooting. how would David. who was fighting the bandit with the pistol, be shot last as indicated by tho position of his body across Georges outflung arm? When did bandits start carrying packing cord? How could robbers who had commit ted a double murder take time to gather up hotel keys with large board tags attached?
