MAN WHOSE BODY FOUND WAS SLAIN ANN ARBOR, Aug. revolver turned over to prosecuting officials by the chief of police of Ypsilanti today was identified by police ballistics experts as the gun with which Harry Lore, one of four young persons slain early Tuesday on a country road near here, was shot to death. Officials did not reveal where the gun was found. Lieut. Earl O.

Stephens, ballistics expert at Detroit, who examined the gun there and compared it with the .38 bre bullet taken from young body, said there was no doubt the weapon was the one with which Lore shot. three companions, Thomas Wheatley of Denton, Anna May Harrison and Vivian Gold, both of Cleveland, were slain by blows, an examination revealed. Then their bodies were placed In automobile, soaked with gasoline and set afire. Finding of the gun the outstanding clue by which authorities hope to find the slayer or slayers of the four young persons, who ranged in age from 15 to 17. A roughly dressed man about 30 years old, who was reported seen early Tuesday with the two couples in a restaurant in Milan, and who paid the bill, was sought.

I Two hours and a half after the appearance at the restaurant, the bodies were found in the burning automobile, eight miles away. If the man sought is not one of the killers, officers said, at least he could clear up the mystery of how the young couples had spent the hours after 8 p. m. Monday, when they last were seen in Ypsilanti, the home community of the two boys. The girls, whose homes were in Cleveland, were visiting the I.ores.

There were other clues in the case all apparently conflicting. Miss Golds purse, bearing stains believed to be blood, was found on a road six miles from the funeral pyre. There were tracks of a second automobile which had skidded to a stop in front of the death car. There was a note handed by a negro woman to a policeman in I Ypsilanti, containing the names of two men whom she said were the killers. And there were blood stains found on a club and stains believed to be blood on wearing apparel in a shanty on wheels occu- By The Associated Press.
