Three days after one OF the
worst tragedies ever perpetrated
in this community, in which two =.
persons were slain, the slayer
committed suicide, and another
person was wounded, officers
had been unable up to last night
to establish motive for the
crime.
However, it was the opinion of
Sheriff j. j. Lowe that some sort
of criminal insanity or "a desire
to KILL prompted Homer Adams
10. to shoot his brother, Eugene
Adams, 18, and his cousin, Antonio
Gonzelez, 20, to death, and wounded
another cousin, Hector Gonzalez,
21.
Funeral services for Antonio
Gonzalez were held Thursday af-
ternoon and for the Adams broth
ers Yesterday morning. All were
buried in the Nogales cemetery.
First Inkling
OF Double Tragedy
First inkling that shooting had
occurred took place when Hector
Gonzalez, with a bullet hole through
both of his jaws, dragged him
self at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning
to the home of Mrs Mary Welty,
local school teacher, in Jund Heights
north of the city on the Patagonia
road.
Mrs. Welty heard someone at the
door. who's there?'' she asked
"A faint murmur Of the word
murder was the reply. who $
there?" she again asked. Then there
was a groan.
Glancing through q window she
noticed a young man covered with
blood. Then she rushed outdoors
gave all possible aid to the lad ano
had her son, 15-year-old Don A
Welty, phone the sheriff's office.
Hector informed the officers that
his cousin, Homer Adams, had shot
him and from the Wounded boy
officers learned where to find the
bodies of Eugene Adams and An
tonic Gonzalez.
The two bodies had been con,
cealed in a culvert under the Pata-
gonia road about two miles NORTH
of the Welty home. There was q
bullet hole through the head Of
each
Shooting Heard
The assassin had apparently shot
both Eugene Adams and Antonio
Gonzalez to death in his 1887 Chev-

Belief that the double Staying oc-
Cured in the car was due to the
finding of blood-drenched upholster-

a mass of blood, indicating both
victims had sat beside the driver,

trigger and snuffed out their lives.

gagged in an extensive manhunt to
locate Homer Adams and his cousin,
Hortencia Gonzalez, 16, whom it
was learned, had accompanied
Homer Adams from her home on
Curtis street at an early hour Tues
day morning.
Adams told the girl that his broth
er, Eugene Adams, had been injured
in an automobile accident on the
Patagonia road.
Fears that the girl, too, had been
slain were dispelled when Hortencla
appeared in Nogales, Sonora, and
informed officers that Homer Ad-
ans, the slayer, had committed
suicide. She showed up in Nogales,
Sonora, about $3.50 Tuesday morning
and a few hours later Homer Ad--
ans body was found.
She said that Homer Adams had
called for her about $50 Tuesday
morning and that instead of driv-
ing out the Patagonia road he took
the Ruby road told her OF the
shooting and threatened to Kill
her. She said she talked him out
of shooting her, then killed him
self in her presence in a lonely
spot OH a rocky mountain trail of
the left side of the main road about
half way between Walker Canyon
and Pena Blanco.
There. about noon Tuesday, the
posse engaged in the manhunt,
found the body of Homer Adams
with a 45-caliber Colt automatic
gun lying at his side.
The gun was identified Tuesday as
having been stolen by Homer Ao-
ans from Rafael Tirado's black
smith shop opposite the stHckyards
on the Tucson road two years ago.
Tirado was his uncle.

friendly sort of way, c. A. Up
church, Jr., news editor for the
State College News Bureau, offers
a correction to paragraph of
story recently sent out from this
bureau regarding conditions exist
ing in the school of agriculture at
State college.
.arapn Wnicn :'ead:
Special comment was made on
the fact that of ST 100000 worth of
new buildings either constructed or
nearly completed for this years
term, not a single one is primarily
for the school of agriculture. There
will be a new chemical building
a new textile building and several
new dormitories, but not a struc-
ture designed to increase efficiency
OF the school of agriculture
OF this Mr.. Upchurch said:
I'm our building program is a
dairy project costing about sos 5,OCO
consisting Of two dairy barns, a
dairy house and a managers resi-
dence. The college secured the old
prison farm site near the fair
grounds to develop its animal hus-
Dandry work.
Services of the new chemistry
laboratory will overlap The de-
partment of chemistry is under
supervision of the school of agri-
culture.
In the new building, which will
cost nearly 100000, including
equipment, most of the research
project will be agriculture. Agri-
cultural chemistry will be taught
there"
Mr.. Upchurch is no doubt COM
pletely correct in his statement,
and this correspondent :-egrets that
the special comment, which was
to the effect stated, was not SO ex-
'actly Informed as is the news edi-
tor. The paragraph was only in
