“ rn EXTER SLAIN BY A MADMAN? That Is One Theory ot Assassin- ation of Millionaire Advanced by Lawyer Badger as Slayer) Is Hunted. MURDERER, WHO IS KNOWN, MAY HAVE DEFENSE READY. | Atttorney Thinks He May Seek to Prove Insanity—Sheriff Believes Action a Lure for Rich Landowner. MALONE, N. Y., Sept. %4.—Search through the forest and mountainside for the suspected murderer of Orrando P. Dexter was resumed at daylight by Sheriff Steenburge and his posses. When the searchers went out to-di they were provisioned for soveral days and will remain on the trai stalking the murderer until he {s brought in. Sheriff Steenburge and Mr. Cantwell, who. though a lawyer, !s an experl- enced woodsman, made the significant @nnouncement that they would remain out with their posses until the murderer was brought in. They have no hesi- taney now in naming the man upon whom their suspicion rests and the three companions who are known to have been with him for several days before the murder. Not at His Home. Yesterday the searchers made a de- tour and circled through the woods around his house, which les in the depths of the forest in the Blue Moun- tain district about twelve miles from the Dexter cottage and over the Bt. Lawrence County line. It was learned ;at the man’s house that he had not been about the place for nearly a week. After establishing this much the wearchers returned to Santa Clara and held counsel over night. To-day Sheriff Bteendurge found that the brace of bloodhounds brought here were useless, as the trail too old for them to take up. He secured instead several ‘Gt. Regis Indians, and with the assist- ance of four of the most experienced guides In the North Woods, he will en- eavor to follow the trail of the mur- derer after he left the Dexter estate. Mr. Badger has advanced the theory that the assassin was elther insane er had taken shrewd precautions for sev- , @tal days before the murder to eateb- sh the theory that he was insane. He bases bjs mduction on stories told him by servants and employees of the Dex- ter estate. The lights seen about the house by Lucy Kelly, the eervant, had been preceded on previous nights by waving Ughts and wild maniacal cries. Tt may be that the person under sus- picion, @ morose individual, brooded over his fancied grievance against Mr. Dexter until bis mania took a homt- oldal turn, To Lure Dexter. Sheriff Steenburge's conclusion |» that the assassin had shrewdly calculated that by uttering wild cries and waving lights in the vicinity of the house he might have lured Mr, Dexter out to investigate, As no one would have gone out into the darkness without @ Ught, his victim would have afforded an excellent target and the darkness of the forest would have facilitated es- cape after the victim was shot down. J. P. Farmer, the Santa Clara con- stable. who was quick to suspect the man for whom the authorities are now hunting, {s making a aingle-handed Search of the forest and {s bont on ob taining the %,000 reward. He was in the forest all day yesterday. Last night he came into Santa Clara, got a fres} team of ihorses and started off on @ fresh trail. He refused to tell the Sheriff anything of his plans. “I'm after the right man and the $5,000 re- ward,” was all he said as he drove off into thé mountains, Bullets Fired at Rockefeller's. Another peculiar feature of the tragedy Is that a few days before Mr. Dexter's assassination a bullet was fire at the game warden's lodge on the estate of William Rockefellers which ade joins Mr. Dexter's property, “Mont of the guides and game wardens on the Rockefeller estate sleep at the lodge Since thelr cottages, spread over the 15 mile tract, were’ destroyed by fire last spring. “The men noticed the strange Ughts and heard the wild cries which were observed around Mr. Dese ter's place, and after the bullet was fired at/the house they took it asa warning of danger, especially as it was known that the feeling amon e woodsmen toward Mr, was bitter and likely to break oat ieee violence because his case against Las mora. a woodsman, for poaching.
