Police Say Dexter Was Shot by Brother; Father Says Tramp Is Guilty and Son’s Story Is True. BOSTON, March 2.—Mystery, gsrow- fing deeper and deeper, continues to envelop the killing of eleven-year-old | Parker Dexter jn his home at Randolph. "The police, having adopted the theory in the beginning that the boy was shot | accidentally while he and his brother Harris were playing with their father’s Fevolver, refuse to direct an investiga- ton along other possible lines in the ense. This attitude of the authorities, in the face of the statement of the father ef the dead boy that he found his Pistol fully foaded and where he had left it, and the inability of every one who has interrogated Harris Dexter to change his original story that his brother was killed by a tramp, seems Moe way no stranger approached or en- tered the Dexter home yesterday after- ‘290n. ‘ ‘Mr. Lathrop, who lives half a mile from the Dexters, and to whom ran first with the news of the shooting, says that the lad was in a Great state of excitement, but his story of it was clear and after repeated repe- titions did not vary. "ns Straight Story. boy Lathrop, haa fone to Boston about 1 o'clook yesterday ‘afternoon, leaving him and Parker eat- img lunghéon in the kitchen. About fifteen minutes later, the boy gays, 2 man appeared at the rear door brandishing a revolver, The boys left _ their meal and ran through the mltting- /fFeom to the front hall and upstairs, followed by the man with the pistol, "Parker dodged into the bathroom at the head of the stairs, while Harris kept on to a back bedroom. About a minute and a half later he heard a shot, and then the footsteps of the man desoend- ing the stairs.. Harris ran Into the bathroom and found Parker lying on the floor, with a bullet wound tlrough his head from ear to ear. Had Nothing to Say. Harris describes the tramp as young, of medium height, with a stubby black beard, and wearing a brown slouch hat. At no time, says the boy, did the fellow speak or make any demand for money. The silence of the alleged murderer In dwelt on by the police as most remark- able, as 1s aiso the fact that he did not make a search for Harris Dexter and Adil or attempt to kill him. Both Parker and Harris Dexter had been known at the Randolph school as quiet, well-behaved boys, ‘The latter is two years older than the boy who ‘was murdered, The Dexter home is in an isolated of @ dense wood ber, but not a tra sorlbed by Harris TEW-YEAR-OLD BOY KL HS ATER Son-of Deputy Sheriff, Enraged Because Parent Had Punish- ed Him, Seized Sire’s Ptstol ; and Shot Him4tn the Head.
