see smaller attendance at the cere-

Police Establish
Rifle 10 Farm
Gun Pieces Found
By Police Soid
To Be Matched

BY Staff Correspondent of The star
LEESBURG, Va, June IL
From two broken pieces of an
old rifle police officials have es-
tablished that Thomas William
Clatterbuck carried gun with
him when he went to the Love
far, near here, it was learned
today.
Although rumors have been cir
culating here for almost a week
that Clatterbuck, confessed SLAYER
OF A. Morris Love, his wife and
son and tenant farmer and his
wife, carried a gun to the Love
farm, 1t was not disclosed until
today that the rife stock found
beside the body of one of the victims
was part of the second death
weapon
Clatterbuck said in his confession
that he used only the rifle of James
Love. the son, in committing his
crimes. He said the rifle stock found
beside the body of Walter Russell.
the tenant farmer, had been taped
to James gun as an extra hand
grip and had become untaped when
the rifle was used as a club.
Other Factors in Case.
An examination of used and lIn-
used ammunition during ballistlcs
tests, however, led the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation to report to
Loudoun County police that all the
bullets had not been fired from
James rife. County officials ad-
mitted that last week without
comment.
There were other factors The
barrel Of James rife. which Clatter-
buck claimed he had used as a club.
showed few blood stains. Also, it
was understood, there was no con-
vincing evidence that the rifle stock
ever had been tapped to James rife.
Although the FBI would not COM
ment on any phase of its tests. it was
assumed that it had identified the
rife stock by going through its COL
lection of firearms.
With the stock alone, however,
there was no way of proving that it
was the death gun, the one from
which at least one of the cartridges
had been elected.
Mechanism Is Found
County and Virginia State police
started A search for the rest of a
Stevens 22-caliber rife. They
found the mechanism of the rifle in
cluster of honeysuckle near the
bank of stream near road Clat-
day of the murder.
Although the barrel was not To-
Gated. it was understood county off,
clals have been notified that from
the mechanism alone FBI experts
were able to make a positive identi-
cation.

wealth Attorney Charles F. Harrl-
