Mich., August 12.— With a bloodstained purse and a .28- caliber bullet as slender clues, authori- ties today attempted to reconstruct the slaying early yesterday of four persons, country road, 12 miles southeast of here. Four persons were arrested last night and today, but two of them were re- leased after making statements to Sher- iff Jacob B. Andres. The identity of the two who were released was not revealed. Two others, Paul Keene, 49, and his brother, Lawrence, 38, still are in cus- tody, although officials said the new de- | velopments tenced to establish their | claims of innocence. Movements Troced.

Vivian Gold's purse, spattered with blood, was found on the South River road, 3 miles from Ypsilant, The spot, authorities said, is frequented by “pet- ting” couples. The purse was found yesterday morning by a salesman who saw it lying in the road, but he did not. turn it over to officlals until today.
