Only an open bureau drawer showed
that robbery might have been the
motive. A pocketbook containing a

Motive Uncertain.
Moreover the best minds" of the
department have so far been unable
to determine for q certainty Just
what motive may actuate the
strange killings. In some cases, EVIL

theory of robbery, but since none
of the victims enjoyed a station In
life which might be dignifed even
by the title of "well to do" and
since In at least two instances, the
