TORCH MURDER IS STILL UNSOLVED

Keene, N. H., May 27-(UP)-- Baffled authorities turned their ef- forts today to establishment of Q possible motive for Mount Wantas- tiquet'S torch murder. Though some evidence pointed to suicide, officials stuck by their theory that Mrs. Elizabeth Q. Freel, 50, wife of Q Clinton, Mass, public utility exec cutive, was slain and her body fired to remove traces of the crime.
 We are not sure of the motive behind the murder ct the minute" County Solicitor Arthur Olson said, "but we are sure that Mrs. Freel was slain and her body fired. She may have been attacked on the lone- ly Tl1ountaintop by Q degenerate and she may have been slain in this way, but we don't know yet. She also may have been the victim of 6 carefully-planned and executed murder plot"
 still sought for questioning, Ol- son said, were the white-haired, iniddle-aged man who followed Mrs. F'reel from White River Junction, Vt, to Brattleboro the day before the murder, and the man who pur- chased Q flashlight and two bat terieS at store in Brattleboro.
