war. Paul Morris, regional man.

Commerce. In fact. said Morris.
IL is more than likely that Bow
Lake viii be used exclusively by
the airlines for passenger business.
and other fields viii have to be
found for air express and freight
and for civilian planes.
The use Of gliders probably will
require still other fields in this
area. the CAA chief declared. He
said Tacons might need six extra

Oscar DAILY, M.BE. presiding. has
followed the evidence closely, and
his questions today indicated the

1t may also furnish some midi

The reader will remember that
Perry Mason pointed out the legal
significance Of the evidence on
two points.
TWO QUESTIONS
The first question was tie pos
sibility OF getting footprints On
account Of the transform taking
place at approximately the time
ot the commission of the crime
as claimed by the prosecution
The second question was one Of
very great Importance.
This has TO do with whether
the attempted concealment OF the
crime by burning was carefully
planned or the haphazard work
of some one. possibly panic
stricken as a result of relatively
unprecedented homicide.
NEW MYSTERY FACTOR
A new factor Of mystery has
now entered the case.
The testimony shows a partially
consumed green thread hanging
on the wooden screen which must
have been present at the time Of
the fire.
i am trying to ascertain the
possible significance of this
thread.
