DYING STATEMENT VIES WITH EVIDENCE
(By Unite Press's CLEVELAND, Sept. 25. Circumstantial evidence today died with the victim's dying statement to accuse a man of murder. Carl Roxbury, 35, was shot in the back as he stood in front of a Quincey avenue residence lato last night. A few minutes later a flying squadron arrested a man sitting on the stops of the house holding a smoking revolver. Taking him at once to the hospital where Roxbury lay dying, a police officer led him up to Roxbury's coat. "Hello, Louis," Roxbury said. "Did this man shoot you?" a police officer asked of the wounded man. "Xo," said Roxbury. "of course not," and then he died. The man arrested told police he had fired at a man who was climbing over his back fence. The revolver he held was a 44-calibre. The bullet taken from Roxbury's body was a .3S. "Louis will be held for" questioning, but, of course, he cannot be charged with the murder," a policeman explained. "Roxbury's dying, statement makes that impossible." Police say the case is one of the most puzzling with which they have had to deal for many months.

STILL BIG PUZZLE
fBy Associated Press) NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept. 25. Investigators of the mysterious mur
der of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall, rector of the Episcopal Church of St
John the Evangelist, and his choir
leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills,
were puzzled today as much as ever. They feel certain . that jealousy was the motive which prompted the double killing, and they have evidence of. dissension within " the church, but they have been unable to find the person or persons who fired the fatal shots. Raymond Schneider, who with Pearl Bahmer, found the bodies, was to be questioned for a second time today. Schneider and the girl, who said they were looking for mushrooms when they found the bodies, were closetd with the investigators yesterday for pnrne time. The girl was locked up at the request of her father, charged
with icorrigibility. Schneider was released after the interview, but was told to return today.
COUNTY FISH, GAME BODY WILL RECEIVE BASS CONSIGNMENT From 8,000 to 10,000 small-mouthed bass are expected to arrive in Richmond Tuesday from the state fish hatcheries near Indianapolis They are consigned to members of the Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association who will plant them in Green's Fork, Nolan's Fork and Martindale creeks, three of the main streams of Wayne county. Members of the association made
application for the fish early in April but it was impossible for the fish and game department to supply this demand until this time. The work of conservation of natural treasures has been carried forward in the county for some time by the association. Their program of protection, espe
cially of fish is gaining extensive cooperation from the farmers who live along theee streams. Investigation of
conditions in Wayne county by state
fish and game officials has shown this
county as ranking high among othe
counties in the state in the way of
conservation and protection of fish and game and the Wayne County Fish
and Game Protective association has
been complimented by the department
of conservation for its work along this
line. " The local association plans to trans
plant a large number of fish from the
fish pond on the Nusbaum farm south of the city in the near future. Members of the association have been feed
ing these fish all summer and it is reported that there are some very large specimens in this pond. These fish will be placed in the same streams mentioned.
