"Wetmore decided I believe, that If he couldn't marry the girl no one else would" Coroner. James J. Cor rigan told the United Press. Emily parents forbade her to associate with the farm hand after she had con- fessed an indiscretion, he added. Detectives learned Wetmore, by a pre-arranged, whistled sigma l, called Emily out of the Mix district volunteers fire house during the party and took her through the wooden glen 1000 feet behind the building where her body was found Sunday morning. 1t is believed by the coroner that William proposed an elopement, and, angered by the decision of the 21 year old Sunday school attendant to obey her par parents, beat and assaulted her.
 Fear, confusing his disordered mind, may have guided Wetmore beyond this point. said the coroner. causing him to shoot Emily four times with small-bore pistol and crush her skull with a heavy boul- der when she continued to struggle.
 The coroner's belief apparently was upheld by evidence in his pos session = Wetmore's bloodstained Sunday best" suit, a handkerchief stained with blood and gunpowder taken from the farm hands over- coat. and .22 calibre bullets such as might have been used to kill Emily. The revolver, which he lacks, was an object of intense search by au- thorities to-day.
 Wetmore's suicide with sulphuric acid and shotgun behind his par ents' farm house yesterday did not halt investigation. Both the cor oner's investigators and Hamden police are anxious to throw further light on some aspects of the crime.

 Captain Harry Barrows of the Hamden force told the commission CTS he believed Wetmore had an accomplice and that there was more to this than appears on the surface
 Three notes, written on tissue pa- per and one bearing a notation: You're nut if you read this. '' were left by Wetmore. They pro- tested his innocence and declared his intention not to be "the goat"
 Wetmore played all but the final phase of a game with the authori- ties. A suspect soon after d1scov- cry of Enlily's body in the rain- soaked underbrush at dawn Sunday, he was the first witness summoned before the coroner Monday.
 Corrigan and the half-dozen off, cers assisting him allowed him to wait in the outer office for nearly an hour to shake his nerve. Wet mere sat on the edge of chair, twitching nervously and glancing glassey-eyed around the office at the newspapermen whose attention was focused upon him.
 He spoke, nervously and rapidly. He was anxious to convince the re- porters he had nothing to do with thl3 case"
 He wasn't in love with Emily. She was just his "bosss daughter" to him, he asserted.
 Then Corrigan walked out of the inner office, pretended to reprimand newspapermen for bothering the witness and courteously ushered Wetmore into his conference room Wetmore was questioned mildly Tor
