September IS in a garden swing
on the estate of his friend, Cow

Out Of the weird and admit

dence so far disclosed by the
investigation, Capt. Clyde Plum
mer, ace crime expert of the
district attorneys staff, an
nounced that in his opinion
Russell was murdered and had
not committed suicide as was
first believed.
And with this development in
the reopened investigation, Plum

as knowing details Of his affairs
with women, the identity Of the
woman, or perhaps her jealous
suitor, who would have motive
for the bizarre crime.

The fact RusSell's automobile

inclined investigators to believe ne
might have been slain the night
Of September 24-25 and perhaps
not far from where the body was
found.
The definite turn Of the in
vestigation toward the murder
theory followed a report by E.
c. CrosSman, firearms expert,
that in his opinion the rusty
barreled gun in Russell's right
hand had not been fired for a
year.
Mother Is Questioned
Crossman said he lacked prov
able evidence of that opinion
but was convinced it was so,
nevertheless.
Mrs. Victoria Russell, the
white-haired mother Of the dead
man, who demanded the investi-
cation, insisting he had probably
been murdered because Of an af-
fair with a married woman, was
being re-questioned today about
a series of telephone calls she
received from a woman shortly
before the body was found.
The woman, said Mrs. Russell,
complained Russell had failed
to keep an engagement with her.
She begged for information as
to his whereabouts.

Joseph Shipley was the bes t.

For the next 80 years he gave
meritorious service, and found
plenty of the excitement he was
looking for, receiving many COM

Once he narrowly escaped being
burned to death when the leader
of the old Gafford Gang hurled
a lamp at him and the room in
which they were struggling burst

The Old Gardener Says:

There are garden makers here
and there who have discovered
the good qualities OF the English
vegetable marrows, but for the
most part these excellent vege-
tables are ignored in this country,
although planted very heavily
across the water. The vegetable
marrows seem to be bothered but
little with borers and can be
grown with any ordinary garden
cultivation, although they like
rich soil and are more prolific II
a little manure is used in each
hill. Marrows are less watery
than Summer squashes, although
the flavor is very much the same.
When they get old, they can be
used for making pies, which will
pass for squash pies, and the rind
is excellent for the making OK
sweet pickles. It being q Vege-
