WITHOUT SUCCESS |Bureau of Mines Laboratory Inadequate for Minute Tests Required. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. | . LEONARDTOWN, Md., January 16.— | 8t. Marys County authorities investi- gating the bomb murder of Miss Ida Kirk heve failed in their efforts to, identify the type of explosive used | through tests at the Bureau of Mines | in Washington of fragments of the' eutomobile in which Miss Kirk met‘ death on January 7. State's Attorney John H. T. Bfllcoe |of St. Marys County, and Lawrence , Gau, firearms expert of the Maryland | | State Police Department, brought pieces | of the explosion debris Thursdey to D-. {C. E. Munroe, chief of the explosives | division, Bureau of Mines. Equipment is Lacking. Dr. Munroe advised them the parti- | cles were in such condition that care- ful microscopic and chemical analysis were necessary and that the Bureau of Mines has no laboratory hére in which to conduct such an examination. The, officers carried the articles away with | them after discussing circumstances of the explesion with the Government ex- pert. It is understood Mr. Munroe did not give any opinion as to the origin of the b'ast, Analysis of the residue left by the explosion on the roadway and the car has been made extremely difficult be- cause of the fact that heavy rains oc- curred before scrapings of the remains were taken. The residue of dynamite and similar explosives is soluble inj water, experts point out, so that most of the matter that could have provided chemists with a clue to the nature of the explosives used was washed away. Meanwhile, servants and other asso- ciates of the 73-year-old spinster were questioned with regard to rumors that Miss Kirk had considerable trouble maintaining order in the servants’ quar- ters at her homestead near Chaptico.

Detectives spent several hours late Saturday night grilling Mrs. Minnie Shade elderly colored retainer of Miss Kirk's, who had been a cook in the| household for years. The Shade woman was allowed to go home after the inter- | rogation. Still seeking a motive for the crime, detectives of the Baltimore homicide) squad went to Baltimore vesterday to interview friends of the deceased woman whom she had visited in that Briscoe explained that a previous | chemical examination of the parts by | Gau wes not specific encugh and he wished to learn if dynamite or nitro- glycerine was used. Would Narrow Search. Proof that the latter explosive was sible suspects and narrow the search for th: man who planted the bomb. Authorities have learned that Mrs. Joseph Gibson, wife of the pastor of | Christ Episcopal Church at Chaptico. with whom Miss Kirk spent the night | preceding her death, did not EXDtCl, Miss Kirk to stop overnight. They of Miss Kirk's movements must have | planted the bomb in the automobile | while it was parked in the rectory yard. Mrs. Gibson still was confined to| her home today, suffering from a se-| verely bruised right foot. Sh: was Miss Kirk's companion when the auto- mobile exploded on the highway near Chaptico. Detectives spent several hours late Saturday questioning Nigel Dixon, 32, a protege of Miss Kirk's, who had lived at her home since boyhood and had received a number of gifts from the spinster, including half of her farm and an expensive automobile.
