Tt There are evidentiy some _things about this tragedy that have not as yet been made public, some hidden cir- cumstances that only an official inves- tigation of the affair will reveal. De- spite the fact' that a letter, nddressed to Irving Barber of Danielson, and signed “Your True Friend, Robert,” was picked up in young Marr's room immediately after the shooting, and notwithstanding - the fact that this letter contained‘ the phrase I can- not live without your love,” which is now surprisingly interpreted as mean- ing that he could not live without the love of his male “friend, and other causes that may be published later. Mrs. Marr, the mother of the wound- ed voung man and his sister, are quo- ted in an ftem printed Thursday eve- ning as stating that there is no foun- dation for the published stories that the act was committed because of in- fatuation for a girl singer of illus- trated songs. The young woman, in & published statement, also claims to have had only a speaking acquaintance with Marr. While denouncing the statement re- lating to the Infatuation part of the affair as false, there is absolutely no bexplanation made as to. why Marr shot himself. There is no attempt Whatever to écount for the existence ot the melodramatic letter that bears the signature “Robert,” which was dis- covered in the young, maw’s room im- mediately after the shooting. Some -duy- she will tell you what she sald” is a sentence this my terious_missive contains. In the unrav- eling of the tangled skein of facts in this ‘affair, the letter is bound to be a pivotal piece of évidence. Attorney Arthur G.
