suspIcion to rest un tem as being implicated in the hor rible tragedy that was enacted In the Farmers Union atore at Layton on 1 Faer sor If Tuesday night The men were strs era in Kaysville and they were riding In a dilapidated rig drawn l a tem of bay horses What ha cause tem to be suspected is the fact that one I f of them went to Hyum Stewars store about 1 ocloek p m on Tuesday df ihn Jea I I and asked C Burton jr the clerk for I some twehegu shttgn shels Mr Burton inquired what number of sot I he desired and for what purpose he wante the shels Mr Burton asserts I k that the Interflon disconcerted the fel 0 though the only object he had in asking the question was that he might be able to advise the customer i I as to what sized shot would b best for J certain game The man fnaH replied tat he wanted them for ducks or and a box containing twentyave geese contaninf < ntYfve I shells was banded down The man sad he did not vat so may tat three or four would do and when told that the boxes were never broken he left I without making the purchase Te singular thing about this is tat hoI ho-I man would sta on a hunting expedition expedi-tion for ducks or geec with only three I or four shells I Is clear tat the man was not telling what was true dr Burton was suspicious of the fellow ty J and Is now convinced that he knows something of the murder I After leaving SteWar s store the i same man vent to the Kajsile Coop I and asked for three or four shells Ii fo er hof J = loaded with No 4 shot SamueL G i Layton who waited on hIm sad they had none loaded with larger tan 10 I 6 He took down a bm tat had bet I I previously opened and on carefully pxamining I found Qne shell loaded wit No4 the other twentfour I shells containing the smaller shot Mr I i Layton noticed also tat the odd shell J was ma of blue paper while all the II others were dark brown It was evident i tn dent that one shell had been changed I l from another box The clerk refused to sell three or four shells including l the blue one and the customer took I L the box I I n TIe color of the shell and the number I I of the shot is import from the fact tat the empty shell found near the scene of the murder was blue and the Sot that caused llr Sadals death was No4 Ii The two clerIcs ageeon the descp ton of the man both describing hIm a sandy complexioned with a UgH l moustache and weeks growth of L berd He was a muscular man about five feet tn inches and had a ruddy 1 countenance Tne description could I ci not be obtained of the other ma I I l In connection wIth this it is reported I in Layton this afternoon that exSher Jf Benp of Ogden saw two suspicious characters in O den yesterday morn c ig who had he thought ben driving some distance during the night When I this is consIdered in connection with I the belief of some that two men wer 1 implicated in the burglary and murder t mur-der it would seem as if a table cue c t the perpetrators of the crime had I ben fond The argument used con ceming two men doIng the deed is that I the murderer must have had assistance p from outside in bursting open the door I by which he left the building i eb I g It Is an unfortunate fact that Sheriff Abbott has ben indisposed today and I I he has net ben able to visit Layton j t We up the work on the sIght cues j tat are obtainable llr Abbott has I n good record a a ofcr and the 1 Js every reason to believe tat he will i be able t run the gui one down I is a fact though that the criminal I wa exceedingly clever a there is little or nothing ussr the scene of the tragedy upon which to base a due Sqerf HoweUs of Sat Lae admitted yesterday that the whole ease was enveloped I en-veloped in mystery Tlc pIstl that was taeen from the dead has not been found i dea man ha and it is quite certain that the assassin has carried it off Not a firearm of any kind was found in the store or near the premises Sheriff Howels is Quoted assaying tat the murder was committed for revenge re-venge but this can hardly be accepted as true for the reason that no man s far a known had aUGht against Mr Sandal He was apparently at pee wIt all the world The thery that the assassin will be found In Layton is I or near aepte by many but the ofcer are not by any means confining their search to that line of Investigation This much l cern The shell from which the shot flew on its deadly mission was not pur chasP in Layton The Farmers Union store is the only insttution tat han i die loaded shells and they have had none In stock of th brand used Two Kasie firms keep the Blue Rival I shells but aside from the sale mae t the stranger on Tuesday there have ben no sales made to suspicious per anus during the last month I was learned thIs afternoon that a white woolen sock a found outside I of the store at the back which may 1 have ben drI by the murderer a lIe left the building It was nearly new and had ben recently worn The supposition Is tat the murderer after getting inside o the store basement removed his shoes before going up the step This strengthens the belief that burglar and not assassination was the purpose of the culprit who it I would seem hope to creep upon the sleeping man and blnd and gag or slungshQt him into a condition of help I lenes There may have ben a struggle before be-fore tile fatal shot as fred A par of daage scales would sCm to indicate in-dicate that the was Sme of those tos who frt saw the body believe that I the man was shot whIle prostrate upon the floor with his assailant above him The position of the corpse and the few battered shots that were pIcked up off the 11001 substantiate this theory But the mystery 1s still unsolved and with the exception of the slight cue afforded by the buying of the cartridges by the stranger on TuesdayS has very been lIttle made progress in the Invetgton The dead mnns funeral occurs tomorrow ii to-morrow at 1 p 11 |
