Custody, Charged with Murder of
Formers Notwithstanding Evidence
Accumulates as Investigation Proceeds
ion Joined him at Dupuyer.

Ion joined him at Dupuyer.
For the next few days, he said,
it was continuous period of
partying", in which he and his
brother visited neighbors.
He did not return to his ranch
home, which is at Old Agency,
until Thursday Of that week, he
said, believing that his wife had
returned the night be last saw
h r. Finding her absent, he
said. he went to the ranch home
o f her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Spanish, t he following
day, believing that she would be
there.
Continued combing of sections
of the county out of Dupuyer
during the last 10 days failed to
reveal traces of Mrs. Racine un-
til this week, searching parties
Wednesday afternoon discover
hidden in gopher holes near the
seven-lnile lane most of the
clothing the victim wore at the
time of her disappearance. They
included a green dress, stockings
and underwear. Cub an heel
shoes she wore were not found,
The various articles had been
stuffed into separate holes. The
recovery included crucihx that
Mrs. Racine had frequently worn.
Also found in that vicinity was
a mans h t, smeared with
blood. 1t, too, was hidden in
hole.
The husband was brought to
the scene from Conrad to con-
front developments, yet persisted
in his original story.
Theory is that after disrobing
the body o f Mrs. Racine, the
murder or muderers concealed it
IN a place safely secure from
searchers. wrapping it possibly
IN brown coat she wore.
Evidence is basis of the theory
that the homicide occurred in the
the vicinity of where the cloth
ing had been hidden, the being
marks upon the ground, where
she had lain. Trampled vegeta-
ton bore blood marks and a wo-
mans hair. Continued search of
the vicinity was under way all
day yesterday, it being a theory
that the body was not removed
any considerable distance away.
/ The seven-mile lane is coun-
try road off the main highway
some few miles north of Dupuyer
and extends to Heart Butte.
Barring a discrepancy in the
husbands story, Carl Lewis, an
oil rig workman, told officers that
shortly before midnight that
Sunday he saw a car stalled on a
road south of Dupuyer, he being
on his way to work. He said the
occupants were a man and wo-
man, the man he later identified
before h officers being Abe
Racine.
The couple were sitting in the
car, the man holding a gun. With
an oath, he said, he was warned
by Racine to get to He'll away"
