formation to connect the crime to
any definite suspects"
Authorities concentrated on Coro-
ner D. c. Lavender's autopsy reports.

been shot through the top of the
head
The daughter had been shot
through the top of the head on the
left side. and the bullet lodged
under her right eye.
Mrs Niebel had been shot through
/ the head and in the abdomen.
/ Coroner Lavender said I'VE are in
vestigating the possibility that the
daughter had been criminally at
/ tackled"
1t also was determined, authori-
ties said, that two guns had been
used in the slayings. They held
one 25 caliber bullet and one 80
caliber bullet, taken from the bodies.
The coroner said an effort will be
made to recover another bullet
from Mrs. Niebel's abdomen.

thorities said they believed the

guestroom had been disturbed.
Prosecutor Lutz said no clues
linked the killings to a definite sus-
pect. However, authorities here and
in Columbus theorized that the
Ambrose killers" were involved.
Two Ex-Convicts Sought.
This theory links the triple killing
to two former reformatory inmates
being sought for questioning in the
July 9 holdup killing of Columbus
tavern operator, Earl Ambrose.
Two Columbus men, Robert Murl
Daniels, "a, and James Coulter West,
%, were identified by witnesses as
the killers of Mr.. Ambrose.
