SHOT WHILE PRAYING?

His Investigation, according to Mr. Birkhead, has brought concio- sions from leading physicians that it would have been virtually Im- possible, from the physical stand- point, for McKee to have died by his own hand. The aged farmer was shot twice In the back of the head. Birkhead's theory Is that, If the first shot did not produce In- stant death; it would paralyze the

victim to the extent that he would not be able to fire a second shot.

TROUBLE REPORTED

Many other factors enter "tofu the case of circumstantial evidence built up against the woman. Among these are reports of domestic trouble : between Mir. and Mrs. Mckee. At ; one time a divorce suit was filed by one of them. but later dismissed. Prosecutor Birkhead has learned also that property which Mckee vwned recently way transferred to a third party by a legal process. and then dieded back to Mr. and Mrs. Mckee making either one of them the heir in the event of the other's death.

CHARGE IS DENIED
