Disttict Attorney Weeks of Westchester County to-day started inquiry into a new explanation of the shooting of young: Clarence Peters by Walter S. Ward. The latest story came from close associates of the Ward family and especially of Walter S. Ward. This report was to the effect that Walter S. Ward was not himself the persdit whose reputation was to.be ruined’ by the blackmailers if tribute were not paid. The threats of exposure were directed against a person. to whom young Ward was under obligations and who put his interests in the young man’s hands because of the official position of Ward and the fact that he had an established reputation for fearless, not to.say reckless, dealing with dangerous situations.
