If there has been a change in the Republican leadership in Massachu- | setts for this campaign. there is, too, a | change in the Democratic. The big, central figure of the Democratic or- ganization this year is Senator David | 1. Walsh, ardent Smith supporter, strongly wet and himself a great vote getter in the State.

It is also believed that when Barnes was unable to find Coburn, he saw a chance to even up by attempting to place the blame for part of the mur- ders on him.

Bames' cousin by home of Mrs. Barnes. The wounded man is M. H. Larkin, resident of a transportation company.. ho apparently was an innocent by- tander. Mrs. Barnes is separated from the ex-convict by an inter- locutory decree of divorce. The Sacramento police force was thrown into confusion as, one by one, the reports of the murders came into headquarters. After the shooting of Muncy had been reported, police threw a guard around Mrs. Barnes' home. They previously had been notified of alleged threats on the part of the for- mer convict against Mrs. Barnes and her relatives. Admits Shooting One. Barnes, according to the officer, claimed Coburn joined him at a local eating house where they decided to go to the home of Barnes’ wife. The visit was made and Muncy was said to have been there. In the argument which followed, Barnes said Muncy or- dered him to leave, afterward striking him. “I then shot him,” Barnes said. Upon leaving the house, Barnes con- tinued, Coburn said, “Well, we're in bad now. Let’s get a few more. home and I shot Curtis,” said Barnes. “Then we went to Len Gearhart's and Charles Klein's houses and both men Coburn shot M. H. Larkin when he at- tempted to aid Klein, who approached l}:lxl car, badly wounded, and asked for elp.” ‘The police, who by this time were searching everywhere for the former convict, traced him to a point near the | State fair grounds, where Gearhart was found with a bullet through his head. morgue Klein was found fatally wound- ed on a highway leading toward Stock- ton.

By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, August 28.—Investi- | gation of a receipt for $1,000, supposed to have been written November 22, 1926, was demanded of the United States Senate today by counsel for William B. Wilson, Democrat, at the Senate hearing of Wilson's charges of firregu- larities in the election to the Senate of William 8. Vare, his Republican oppo- | nent. Roland B. Mahaney, chief counsel for Wilson, charged that the receipt given for money which witnesses testi- fied was to be used for “dissemination of information” among Itallan voters | bore evidence of having been written more recently than the date indicated. Mahaney asked that the Senate sub- committee on privileges and elections have it examined by experts to deter- mine the date of its origin. Suggests Experts Testify. Replying to Mahaney's request, Sen- ator Cherles W. Waterman. Repub- lican, Colorado, who is conducting the inquiry, said that Mahaney could have it examined by experts on behalf of Mr. Wilson and could bring his ex- perts on the stand to testify. Mahaney's expression of doubt as to whether the receipt was genuine came during the examination of Lawremte Albino, chairman of the Western Penn~ sylvania Italian Voters' League. S. J. Topley, treasurer of the county Repub- | lican committee in 1926, testified yes- terday that $1,000 was paid to Albino for “dissemination of information” on November 22, 1926. Says He Indorsed It Albino testified today that money was not paid directly to him. A check was made out to him, he said, and turned over to Miss D. G. Trill of a mailing bureau, which was to have campaign _literature _translated into Italian and distributed. Albino said the check was brought to him by Miss Trill, that he indorsed it over to her and received a receipt. The receipt was tendered in evidence, and it was then that Mahoney demanded in- vestigation of it. Charles Pritchard of counsel for Vare challenged Mahaney to have experts examine it. Albino testified that no accounting for the money was made to him by Miss Trill COSTEVS TO HOP. NEW YORK, August 28 (#).—Capt.
