The soldier boys are to carry these cases where ever they go, and if while chas three bullets into the body of Harris and besmirch the dead girl's name that he might escape punishment for his crime? These are questions the police are trying to solve and which make this love mystery which closely parallels the Thaw case, one of the most difficult that has ever confronted the Massachusetts authorities. And to add to it the theory has been advanced that Miss Adams was the victim of a suicide pact.

The story told by Atwood after the shooting, that his fiancee had told him she had come under the hypnotic influence of Dr. Harris to her ruin has been discredited by the girl's father and brother and denied by Harris. It stands alone as the assertion of Atwood, who is in jail and unable to furnish a $15,000 bond, and may have to face the charge of murder, as his victim has only a fighting chance for life. Winthrop Adams brother of the dead woman, asserts that Atwood's alleged confession as to Dr. Harris having betrayed his sister is nothing but a "cowardly and dastardly prevarication, trumped up to pave his way for public sympathy and a later possible temporary insanity plea to save him from the electric chair." Pranci3 P.

Adams, Celia's father, declared that he had been opposed to his daughter's marriage to Atwood on account of his youth and the disparity in their ages. Dr. Celia P. Adams was four years his senior. He added that the young man's antipathy for Harris was due entirely to the fact that he also had opposed the marriage on the same ground.

The indications are that Atwood's' defense will be temporary insanity. He told the police that Miss Adams said that Dr. Harris had first wronged her two years ago, when she accompanied him on an automobile trip into the country. Since that time, he went on, she had suffered intensely under a sense of guilt and tried repeatedly to free herself from the influence of Dr. Harris, but found it impossible to break his hold on her.

"The relations between my daughter and Dr. Harris were entirely proper," her father asserted. "My daughter came in contact with Dr. Harris frequently at the college. There was absolutely nothing wrong between them.

She knew that he was a married man and a respectable, honorable man, and if Dr. Atwood says my daughter told him there had been improper relations between her and Dr. Harris it is an untruth. I believe the real reason of the shooting was that Atwood thought Dr. Harris was interfering in his plans for marrying my daughter." Mr.

Adams added the startling information that Dr. Harris had summoned the two young people to a conference one day recently and had besought Dr. Atwood not to show so much attention to Miss Adams, mentioning as his motive for this advice "the good of the profession." Dr. Harris condition is grave. All he has been able to say was that Dr.
