. DISCOVER NEW CLU 10 DOUBLE MURDER Small Watch Likely to Solve Mystery Attending Ghastly Crime at Hagerstown. Special Dispateh to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., September 8. ~A new clue which may result in solving the double murder of Mr. and Mrs. John Cline, aged Mennonite couple, occupied the attention of the local authorities today. It may be a small watch In a hunting oace which, it was learned, the son of the aged couple told detectives working on the case had been taken by his parents’ slayer, that may lead to the murderer's capture. As soon as the authorities have run down certain information which now is in their hands, they will grill the man who they suspect may know something of the most ghastly crime in the annals of Washington county’s history. Probe Under Way Two Moenths. For two months two detectives have been working on the case. On several occasions these two silent ‘workers belleved they had hit upon a ‘warm trail, only to lose it The son of the aged couple, who ‘was arrested the day of the crime. only to be released a few days later because of insufficient evidence to connect him in any way with the murder, was grilled again several ‘weeks ago, but told the same straight- forward story. But he revealed the one new thing that a watch of his mother’s, a small timepiece in & hunt- ing case, which he had often seen his mother have about the house, never was located after the murder. According to the information in the hands of the police, a man left this city the day following the murder. At that time, it is alleged, he had in his possession a small watch, the type that the Cline youth said his mother owned. Neither State's Attorney Roulette nor Sheriff Duffey admits trying to locate the watch, which is said to have been taken from the house of the aged couple the day they were murdered. The victims were found dead in the cellar of their home near here, their heads crushed. ACTORS FOR DAVIS. Bddie Cantor Heads League to Promote Candidacy.
