It will be recalled that bloodiiounds were used in a vain ate: pt to track down the mucf1- Wanted fugitive. Grove was rerort- ed to have been seen near his erudely-mad shack in the Wolcott woods and later near the vicinity of the crime by neighbors. One of the many state troopers assigned to the case fired at man he believed to be Grove but missed. The man hunters have not given up hope of eventually catching up with their prey.

RATE SLICED BY HOUSE
Bill Adopted Yesterday Cutting Interest One.
 half Per Cent

Interest on small loans win be two and one-halk per cent a month after July 1st as the result of acc ton of the senate arid house at Hartford late yesterday afternoon in adopting bill cutting the rate from the present three per cent, Efforts of Senator Gsbfgs T. Culs' hane of this city Co tack on a rider to the bill, cutting Interest rates on mortgages from six to five per cent, were unsuccessful, however. This move was made in order to beat out the unfavorable report on his interest reducing bill now re- posing in the hands of the finance committee chairman.
 The finance committee reported unfavorably on the bill cutting the interest rate on small leans. In both the senate and house the un- favorable report was rejected, however, and the bill passed as originally introduced. Two years ago the legislature cut the rate on small loans from three and one- half per cent to hree per cent.
 When Senator Culhane attefnp- ted to attach his rider to the bill, Lieutenant-G Governor Frank Hayes ruled that. tue amendment was out of order in that 1t was not ger- mane to the question before the senate. The objection to the amendment was raised by Senator William E. TIaseartyy democrat, of New Britain.
 Tn all there were seven bills be- fore the legislature this year, cut ting the interest rate on 4 small loans. One of the bills would have cut the rate down to one per cent a month.

ials declared, According to the specifications, there was no extra, pocket ordered for Groves clothes, and there was only one pocket placed on the inside of the coat. Possible, the extra pocket was put in by some tailor after the gar, ments were received by MT. Crows.
 '"The officials produced the orig inal orders and specifications and presented them to me. They are still in my possession.
 "It was suggested by Crowe's acquaintances that he carried the gun for his protection against hold-up men as he lived in lone- ly spot and possessed large sums of money at various times. He loaned considerable money on sec- ond mortgages.
 There is every indication that the Grove case will go down in the annals of police history along with the other eight or nine unsolved crimes perpetrated in or near this citly. The $500 reward offered by the state for Grove, dead or alive still stands. The Yuskis family, by virtue of a judgment rendered in its favor through a civil action, has taken over the Grove prop erty."

one fact stands out life a light house at sea, and that Is that Grove acted on the spur of the moment. His actions on the morn ing immediately preceding the crime uphold this theory. Let's trace those actions.

 supply. The fact is that he had only enough gas to drive few miles from the scene of the trag- edy--but he abandoned hls car some i6O yards away from the Yuskas home. The authorities seem tc have overlooked this most important fact.
 Dynamite Bombs
 ''The so-called dynamite bombs found in Crowe's car will probably be introduced as evidence should he be brought before the bar of justice, but their importance will dwindle considerable in comparts- on to their Geadliness as described In certain local newspapers. II will be worth anyone's time and attention to see the bomb angle fade into insignificance.
 And now we come to. Groves whereabouts. Just what did he do when he alighted from his car? Where did he go? Where Is he now?&
 "Some visualized his hiding in some secret cave. Others believed he tucked himself away in self constructed underground chamber ell-stocked with water and food. Still others accepted the suicide theory. Many figured he kept on his way to some far off place. One guess Is as good as another so long as he remains a fugitive from jus tice.
 By all the rules of crime detec- tion Grove is either dead or in hiding in the home of some close friend or relative. He was too con- spicuous a figure to roam at large without courting arrest. He never could have run through the finely

Mot John Crowe''

(The following statement, concerning the now famous Grove case and the latest Ic- velopments brought to light by the finding of the dccomposed body of man in the Southing- ton reservoir last night, was furnished exclusively to the Democrat this afternoon from the investigator prominently mentioned in this special Grove artfcle.-Ed. note.).
 You can bet ali the tea in China that 1t was not John Crowe's body they recovered from the Southington reservoir last night" declared one of Waterbury's most widely known investigators when interviewed this afternoon. His statement continues:
 "John Grove, the man ac. cused of fatally shooting two nefghbors in WOlcott year ago and who has been . fugitive since that time, possessed at least two guns, a rife and an automatic pistol, besides ammu- hilton. Therefore, he was not obliged to destroy his life by pluneing into the water of the reservoir. That is quite appar- cnt despite the theories which might be advanced that he lost possession of the deadly weap. Oiis during his flight from the scene of the crime, or run out of ammunition hunting wild game for food since his mys- terious disappearance.
 I am in a position to furnish the police authorities with the exact measurements of CrOwc's clothing.
 "Again I wish to state that, in my opinion, 1t was not the mortal remains of John Grove the constable stumbled upon in the dark last night. havc many good reasons for enter. taining this belief, reasons which I must be excused from rcveal- ing at this timc."

change Place, near the northeast corner. for fully fifteen minutes prior to church service. After ser- vices he stopped in a centrally lo- cated restaurant for lunch. He then drove to his shack in Vol colt.
 within a short time Grove drove by William MacCormick's cider mill headed for the Yuskis farm. In another moment or so he was q vcritable maniac, firing with deadly accuracy.
 "Whei, the authorities learn what occurred after Grove return- ed to lis shack, believe they will possess the motive for the lamefl- table events which followed. It Is my guess that he discovered some. |. t ing had happened at the shack during his absence. Just what it was is problematicaI. Every rule of circumstantial evidence and de- duction points to one conclusion--- that Grove seized his weapons and sped to the Yuskis farm for an accounting for some fancied or perhaps proved wrong.
 No one saw him approach Yus- kis. No one overheard any con versation between them. unless 1t was Karvauskas whose lips were subsequently sealed In death. The fact has been established that Grove did not start firing immed- lately upon his arrival. At least three minutes had elapsed before the first shot. Many words could have been spoken during those previous moments. And 1t may have been those very worlds that caused the double tragedy.
 Grove may have gone to the Yuskis farm armed to throw a scare iEto the family. He may have merely wished to dramatically warn them against trespassing, or allowing their live stock to in- tr de upon his property. Perhaps young Yuskis ridiculed him or orr dered him away despite the pres- ence of the guns. Yuskis may even have started to physically eject Grove from his land, being shot as he attempted to leave his car in which he was seated attired Tn a bathing suit when Grove arrived on the scene. This. of course. would bring in an essence of self defense, but a jury could hardly accept 1t in its deliberations.
 "The shooting of Karcauskas and the subsequent attempt Co snuff out the life of Mrs. Yuskis were natural sequels. There are two ieasons-first, to insure es- cape. and. secondly, to eliminate witnesses. 1t Is my opinion that Grove killed Karvauskas to pre-. serve his own liberty and shot at Mrs. Yuskis for the same reason when she began striking at him with . pail. He probably would have oened fire on anyone else who might have attempted to In. terfers or to block his escape, or who he may have figured could testify against him in case of cap ture.
 There Is one fact of the first inagnitude--crowe's car was founs with little or no gas. This fact alone eonvinces me that he did not promeditate the crime. if he had conceived or deliberately planned tho murders he certainly would have paid attention to his gasoline
