 Another Fighter Sought
 North Adams, Mass, June II - (UP) - A prizefighter whose name is known to police was sought to- day for questioning in connection with the mysterious deaths.
 The puglilist wanted for question ing was seen near the South Church street home of Charles H. Cary shortly before the latter found the bodies of his daughter, Mrs Evelyn Cary Medlock, 27-year-old divorcee, and her sweetheart, Clayton Utting, 28 formerly of Syracuse, N. r., in the building.
 Mrs Medlock had been shot through the neck and Utting, known in the prize ring as Young Utting, in the head. A third bullet lodged in door.
 Medical Examiner James w. Bunce pointing to the fact that the dead mans right hand clutched a .32 calibber revolver, announced shortly before noon that he had de-

(Continued from Page D tained a divorce from her second husband in Providence, R. l., about two years ago.
 Although Medical Examiner James w. Bunces first impression was that it was a case of murder and suicide-a .32 caliber automatic pistol was clutched in the dead | mans right hand-subsequent evil dence cast shadow of doubt over this theory.
 Both victims were fully clothed. They had been dead several hours, and indications were that the double shooting occurred after the couple had enjoyed a last supper together in the kitchen of the home of Charles H. Cary, father of the young , woman and owner of the revolver. Mrs Medlock's body was sprawled at the head of flight of stairs. Her sweetheart's body lay on the floor of a nearby room, only a few feet separating the victims.
 Cary discovered the bodies when he returned from work at the Boston & Maine Railroad repair shops early to-day. The door was locked but he pushed out the key and entered with HIS own Key.
 He told police the double shoot ing mystified him because his daughter and the pugilist had been very friendly for months and had planned to wed shortly. He said they had slight "spat" fortnight ago but that this didn't amount to any, thing"
 The possibility of suicide pact was considered, It was pointed out that the gun, belonging to Cary, was concealed in bureau drawer and that Utting did not know the hiding place. Mrs Medlock did know where the gun was kept, the father said.
 Another mysterious angle was presented by the discovery by Dr Bunce of a strange wound on the young woman's head. It appeared, he said, that she had been struck with a blunt instrument; yet no such weapon was found in the house. It was doubtful, the doctor said, that this would could have been inflicted when the girl fell against the floor.
 Dr Bunce theorized that the young woman might have attempted to flee from the upstairs bedroom and that her fiance perhaps stunned her with some heavy object before shooting her. The medical examiner also suggested that Mrs Medlock might have first obtained the gun and that the double shooting oc- cured when the boxer tried to dis arm her.

day, admitted he was the man seen near the South Church street home of Charles H. Cary. father of Mrs Medlock, early this morning.
 Police quoted Sample as saying he had date with Mrs Medlock for 8 o'clock last night and went to the Cary home at that hour. After ringing the doorbell for some time in vain, he concluded that nobody was home and departed, he said. Shortly after midnight, he recount ed, he returned to the Cary house and was outside when Cary arrived home, entered, and found the bodies. Sample said he then left in his au- tomobile.
 Medical Examiner Bunce said he believed that Utting went to an up- stairs bedroom and procured the gun. Emerging from the room, he probably encountered Mrs Medlock and fired, the bullet missing its mark and lodging in door, the doctor said. Utting fired second shot which killed the woman. and a third which ended his own life, the medi- cal examiner believed. s
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-11

cided tentatively, at least, that it was case of murder and suicide. But he made it plain that he was still mystified by the circum- stances surrounding the double shooting and said he wanted to ques- tion the unnamed prize-fighter seen near the house by Cary just before he entered and found the bodies.
 As soon as Cary went into the building, according to police. the prize-fighter disappeared in an au- tomobile and has not been seen since.
 While investigators did not believe there was any possibility that both Utting and Mrs Medlock, who were to have been married shortly, had been murdered, they felt that the missing pugilist might have been in- directly responsible, perhaps by arousing jealousy, for the shootings.
 It was pointed out that the house was lightless except for a light in the cellar when Cary arrived early fighters might have had an argu. ment in the basement shortly before the shootings.
 Mrs Medlock was divorced from her second husband, Fred Medlock. in Newport, R. l., about two years ago. Previously she had divorced her first husband, a naval lieuten- ant.
 Police said they were satisfied that Utting, a rejected suitor who had made plans to wed the twice. married Mrs Medlock, shot the woman through the neck and then sent a bullet through his head with .32 caliber revolver owned by the wo- mans father and found in the

ArrigOni May
 Be in Hiding
(continued from Page D

Arrigoni disappeared from the rear cockpit of motor launch in which he was crossing the lake lake with three companions, MT and Mrs George s. Billings of Long Is- land City, N. r., and Miss Catherine Hance of Red Bank, N. J., former beauty prize winner and friend of the missing man. They were re- turning from visit to the Meredith Neck camp of Jack Delaney, former world light heavyweight boxing champion.
 Theories of foul play and suicide were considered and authorities also investigated the possibility that Arr rigoni, an expert swimmer, had reached shore and, perhaps dazed, wandered into the woods.
 Search of the lake bottom and the woods surrounding the lake has failed to reveal any trace of the missing ex-senator, however, and before starting for Timber Island to-day, Sheriff Elliott said he thought it entirely possible that Arr rigoni would be found alive on Tim Der Island.
 This island. a mile long and densely wooded, has five summer cottages on it, none of which is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-11

occupied at present. A visit to the
 island late yesterday revealed no trace of Arrigoni but 1t was discov- cred that two of the cottages had been broken into.
 Sheriff Elliott said that if the man reported seen on the island through field glasses yesterday was not Arrigoni. it must be someone who had entered the cottages and who did not want to be caught by noIice .s rt
