 was level headed boy. who would mt have done such thing The gun used was identified as one owned by Professor Born.
 Ted Bath, A. another state wit ness, informed police he was leav- ing town because he was afraid "kennamer's Gang" would kill him. Other state witnesses could not be reached. Relatives said they did not know where they were. Some relatives frankly confessed the missing witnesses were leaving town.
 Born, friend of both Gorrell and Kennamer, had driven kennamer to what proved to be his last rem dezvous with Gorrell. He was to have been an important state wit ness in the trial of kennamer, who is charged with first degree mur- der.
 Yesterday afternoon, short time before Born was found in his parked car, bullet hole in his head and .32 calibre revolver at his side, Kennamer, who is all lowed liberties in the county. jail, telephoned him.. The conversation was not overheard. Y A little later Born, apparently agitated, walked into a drug store and tried to phone Kennamer at clerk, watched him.
 He tried to get the number sew eral times,' Adams said. Finally he> hung up. Then as he. walked out l heard him say law, He'll. He got into his car and drove away. It was a short time later that c. M. Peale noticed figure slump ed in a car, parked in the same exclusive residential district i'll which Gorrell was slain. He inves- tigated and called police.3 It was Born, q bullet wound back of his right ear. As in the Gorrell case, there were no finger prints 'on the gun.

 "kennamer's gang is still out of jail and they will do everything they can to keep the fellows from testifying,' Bath told police ser geant H. B. Maddux. "I'm leaving for Tulsa for good. Plenty of fel- lows who told police what they knew about Kennamer and his gang have been warned"
 Bath refused to name members of the gang. MadduX said.
 Holly Anderson, county prosecu- tor, in Washington attending a CO., ference on crime prevention, has contended from the outset of the Gorrell case that q gang ow we'll born thrill seeking youths has been operating in Tulsa. There have been reports of narcotics running between here and Kansas city by young men, free from suspicion because of their social standing. Charges of extortion, blackmaii and Kidnapping plots matched in the fertile minds of idle youths are we'll substantiated. police say.
 The staying of Gorrell and the death of young Born brought to light social condition police be- lieve wilfprove to have wide ram. ifications and produce startling dis closures before it is ended.
 Mayor T. A. Penny placed the blame on the parents.
 "The parents of these children involved in this terrible scandal should carry the biggest share off the blame" he said. They have been so busy making money they have neglected the raising of their children"
