Poisen Liquor Theory
Al Sampey. chief of elly drive. lives here. went to Mount Vernon yesterday afternoon and questioned the prisoners.
"There Is quite a possibility." he Paid last night. "that Connor'e death was due to poison liquor, and no definite action can be taken until after the Inquest."
Connor le said to have been seen with several of those under arrest at a carnival in Mount Vernon Fri- day night. It is reported also that he was seen about midnight with a giri near the spot where his body was found about : o'clock Saturday morning. Slight contusions about the heart and a scratch on his fore- head were the only Indications that he might have been a victim of foul play.
Planned a Party
W if Rabb. 22. employe of the carnival and one of the suspecta. told Chief Sampey he saw Connor at the carnival grounde about 10 Io'clock Friday night, and that Con- nor anid he "had a gallon of wine" and together they planned a party. Babb said he waited until ?"o'clock Saturday morning for the youth to return, but that he never auw Con- nor again.
Search for Aaron Bradley, anoth- er youth wanted as a suspect, waa unavailing yesterday. Officers said Bradley left Mount Vernon, pre- numably for Joplin, early Saturday ..
