what appeared to be blood -clots from two clubs.
 They denied at first that tn. stains were blood and insisted they were a varnish stain, although nothing about their gloomy retreat suggested recent painting. Before the grilling was interrupted after dawn today, they admitted the stains were blood, but acquired in drunken brawl two weeks ago.
 Dr Herbert W. Emerson. of the Pasteur Institute of the University of Michigan, today was comparing stains on the clubs and clothing with samples of the Keenes' blood. A report was expected in time for the coroner's inquest this after noon.
 Autopsies at the University hospital revealed that young Lore had been shot to death and the others clubbed before their bodies had been removed from the battle torn roadside to the automobile, soaked with gasoline drained from the machine and fired.
 Footprints revealed, investigators said, that the assailants of the four had worn heavy workmen's shoes, and then expressed hope that analysis of stains on shoes found at the keeus' camp might further clues.
 Search for third man was pressed when return visit to .he camp disclosed club that had not been present when earlier searches had been made.
 The man, known as "Whitey," Is said to be highjacker, who has been accused of annoying couples In parked motor cars
 Investigators thus far have been unable to agree on theory as 10 how the fatal battle started, al- though 1t is presumed the girls were slain when they went to the air of their escorts. Doctors at the autotopsy doubted the girls had been criminally attacked.
 Neighbors asserted the slain youths were of unimpeachable re- putation, and were convinced their all-night absence from home had rot been voluntary. They agreed that skid marks of the supposed killer car indicated the machine of the four had been crowded off the road by a speeding car that stopped sharply across their path.
 Officers thus far have been un- able to trace the machine which residents near the highway re- ported had roared by their homes In the dawn shortly before the flaming motor Pyre revealed the slayings.

 You brought the party out of bankruptcy" Kent wrote in reply "stood it on it's financial feet and then clapped a first mortgage on it. You are the first mortgage holder of the democratic party to-day, and in my Judgment that is not good thing

 "You know perfectly well that | did not infer that you had become a democrat because of your religion and because smith is Roman Catholic" Kent said.
