THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

QUIZ TEACHER IN SLAYING OF SCHOOL CHIEF 15-Minute Loophole in Alibi of Veteran Faculty Member Clew. fill i'nlfrr] I’rt NORTH FI ELD. Mass.. Oct. 22. A fifteen-minute loophole in the alibi of a veteran faculty member w’as regarded as of rgajor importance today by ace state detectives doggedly tracking the shotgun slayer of the Rev. Elliott Speer, headmaster og Mt. Hermon preparatory school. Not a tangible clew has been uncovered since Mr. Speer was killed by a charge of double-O buckshot fired through a window of his campus home, Sept. 14. But authorities, knitting together bits of circumstantial evidence, have concluded that Mt. Harmon’s campus holds the secret of the crime. Os chief importance in their view was the imperfect alibi offered by a prominent educator w r ho had been interviewed repeatedly. Detectives pointed out that the quarter-hour unaccounted for w’ould be ample time in which to commit the crime. Jealousy over Mr. Speer’s rapid rise to power at Mt. Hermon and fear that his liberal ideas soon might lead to replacement of older faculty members by youthful educators. might have inspired the murder, they theorized.
