taMilMtii)iiiiiiiiiii' "Si A ''v 4 ONE SLAYER ESTABLISHED Major Lynn Adams, Conducting Inquiry Into Fayette Killing, Denies Report Belief Per sists in Early Arrest. D0N0H0E SLAIN AFTER FIGHT By United Press. UNIONTOWN, Aug. 9. TIP The identity of one of the slayers of John Donohue, former deputy constable, has been partially-established, according to reports heard Here today, font Major Lynn G.

Adams, State Police head who is conducting the murder investigation, denies it. Finger prints taken from the automobile in which Donohoe's bullet riddled body was found along the highway between Masontown and Union-town and information disclosed by "Big Ed" Wonsotler brought the first indication that an arrest may he expected soon in the Fayette county murder mystery. Investigations the state police have brought forth that the former deputy constable was not sluin in his automobile, but his body was placed there after he had been killed in a fight. Blade of Grass in Hand. A blade of grass imbedded in the knuckle of his right hand and dust on the knees of the trousers he wore, led police to believe he was slain in a fight on the ground and his body was thrown in the back seat of his automobile which was driven to the side of th'i highway.

Investigators have spread their activities into Washington and Westmoreland counties in the belief they may connect Donohoe with some rival bootleg rir.g which was operating in Fayette county in opposition to a local gang and he was killed by members of the Fayette county ring.
