Mrs. Irwin, who came here last night, and Professor George Irwin of Washington and Lee uriversity, & brother, who arrived during the day yesterday, left with the body for Lexington, Va., where Wilfred's par- ents live, this afternoon. Mrs. Irwin was questioned by Cor- oner Arthur G. Bill shortly after her arrival and again this morning. What details she added to those al- ready learned by the authoritics were not learned, as the coroner re- | fused to talk on the killing. A closer inspection of the farm- “house where the shooting occurred today revealed evidence leading to the belief that one of the two men | had chased the other about the house with a shotgun. When hos- pltal attendants arrived at thef farmhouse Monday morning, they found Cline with a shotgun in the yard. Irwin was found on 2 mattress in & partly furnished room on the first floor with a gaping wound in his side.
