CONFESSED DEATH
|SPR0BED AGAIN
Inquiry to Be Made Despite
Story of Brother That He
Killed Sister, II.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, July 24.-Craw-
ford County authorities opened a new
inquiry tonight into the mysterious
killing of Mildred Best, 1l-year-old
Soldiers Grove girl, whose death her
brother, Harold, Is, twice confessed.
Two Official reports sent to Juvenile
Judge jeremiah O'Neill of Prairie du
Chen expressed the belief Harold,
held in Jail without charge, was in
nocent and was shielding some one,
and that the death of their uncle,
Orla L. Shaw, with whom the chill
dren lived, was caused by poisoning.
Shaw died two weeks after he and
his wife. returning to their farm
home the night of June 4, found
Mildred spraWled across her bed with
bullet through the head and Har-
old fast asleep in a room nearby.
Shaw's death had been attributed
to a nervous breakdown caused by
kidney disorder. District Attorney
James P. Cullen of Crawford County
declined to comment on the develop
ments, but the boys attorney, Carl
N. Hill of Madison, said if Cullen
did not order a post-mortem on
Shaw's body he would ask the Circuit
Court to instruct him to do so.
Because he made two confessions
and retracted one of them, Harold was
subjected to a truth-serum and lie
detector test by Dr. William F. Lo-
REM, University Of Wisconsin patholo-
gist, and Prof. J. H. Mathews, GRIM
inologist.
They said the result of their tests
strongly indicated Harold did not
shoot his sister and that he was
attempting to shield either the actual
slayer or some one who has guilty
knowledge Of the crime
They told Judge O'Neill further in
vestigation was necessary In the in
terest OF Justice. The boy is held in
Crawford County Jail without charge.

MINISTER SCORES
 HIT-RUN DRIVERS
Rev. Dr.. John Walker Says Lack of RespOnsi-
 bility a Sad Sign

Lack of responsibility was de- scribed as one of the saddest signs of our times and "this evasion is so fragrant that 1t seems to me noth- ing short of criminal in some quar- ters," Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pas- tor of Second Congregational church, said in his sermon yester- day. His reference was to auto- mobile drivers who have accidents and don't assume responsibility for the damage and the pastor remarked further:
 "There is so much evasion of re- sponsibility in these days. The lack of the sense of responsibility is one of the saddest signs of our times. This evasion is so fragrant that 1t seems to me nothing short of crim- inal in some quarters. There is something wrong with our legal Sys- tenn when 1t is perfectly possible to get a license to drive an auto- mobile without assuming the slight est responsibility for damage to the property and the lives of other people on the highway. In some of the states insurance is compul- sory after the first accident but sup- pose that first accident results in the death of innocent people. Can you suggest any finer illustration of locking the barn door after the horses have been stolen?
 "The Greeks had a proverb in the long ago which sums it up in very few words, The Gods sell all things. What they meant by that, 1t seems to me, is perfectly plain. There is a mortgage of re- sponsibility on every gift, on every talent, on every ability on every skill, every influence, on every opportunity. We have no clear title to anything. There is an obligation, a responsibility, that goes with every possession we know. We are to use these gifts and abil- ities, these skills and opportunities, and not for ourselves but for the good man who has gone, or who seems to be away, on the journey, even God our Fatherl
