Sheriff W. B. Young earlier had said discovery of the small coupe would bear out his theory that fail- ure of the girl to go through with al scheduled elopement led to the double | tragedy. Revolver Nearby. A rusted .32-caliber revolver lay 3 or 4 feet from the two skeletons when | they were found, lying face downward on a small stream bank, by Ham Binns, a trapper. The gun, which the sheriff today said he knew definitely as Hutchison’s, had | been fired twice. | There was a bullet hole in each| skull, it was said at Preddy's funeral home, where the bodies were being | held today for an inquest tomorrow.

The couple had been missing from their homes since the night of Septem- | ber 8 and relatives believed they had eloped. James Hutchison said his brother told his parents good-by and told | them they might never see him again. | “But we didn't believe him and when | he left we thought he'd gone away and i got married.” i The girl's grandfather, Lee Davis, who had reared her. said she disap- peared from his home by going out of | a rear window after pretending to | retire. “I think they decided to get mar- | - ried and then one of them changed notions,” the sheriff said. Far From Road. He discounted any idea that they | may have been shot by a third person, saying. “They had nothing for which | any one would bother them.” | The lonesome spot at which the skeletons was found was said to be “at least” a mile and a half from | “any sort” of road. Sheriff Young | said the woods at the point were very | dense. In the tattered remnants of Lhew youth's coat were found revolver bul- | lets and the copled words of the song, “Careless Love.” | Found Sk GLADYS HICKS, BOYS TELL ITZEL OF STRANGE MAN Saw Suspiciously Behaving Per-| son on Saddleback Ridge.
