Clark in nearby Mentor.

Sheriff William B. Evans said he would release from custody today Floyd E. Hargrove who had in turn denied, admitted and then again denied firing the fatal shot. A polygraph test Monday indicated Hargrove, 35, a truck driver, had lied when he admitted Saturday and again Sunday that he killed the husband of the woman with whom he carried on an eight-month love affair. Evans asked the state to send mobile crime laboratory to Mentor.

He also wants Cleveland police experts to examine the lead slug that pierced Clark's right It was the failure of skin divers find the rifle with which Hargrove said he fired that slug that cast doubt on his profession of guilt. Hargrove, divorced father of ive, said he decided after a 16- minute' meeting at the jail Saturday with Lois Clark that he 'could spare her and her family my further investigation and suf- ering by confessing. "I love her deeply. I'm worried or her welfare," he explained. Mrs.

Clark, a beautiful brunette if 30 who was a model in Flona where she met and married Clark at 16, has admitted sex re- ations with six men besides Sheriff Evans said. Three these men were absolved by olygraph tests Monday, the sheriff said. Clark, 35, a electrical engineer, was buried Monlay after services in the Mentor church where he was iunday School superintendent. His vife said he never knew her elations with other men. Evans said he planned to ques- ion Mrs.

Clark today "without he lie box" but may use it "if he's calmed down enough." She las been under sedation much he time since the slaying. Mrs. Clark has told the sheriff hat she went to Cleveland on Dec 4 to buy two corduroy shirts as gift for her husband.
