Charleston, 111., July 18. "Blackle," the transient suspected of shooting two Illinois Central detectives at, Carbondale yesterday and who was killed by officers near iWest Frankfort today, is believed to be Harold Steyer, usband of Marie Lance Steyer, held at Danville on a federal charge of transporting firearms.

Steyer and his wife, who was recently held here with Clint Smith of Charleston for questioning in connection with some arson cases, are wanted in the state of Washington for bank robbery. The supposition that the slain transient was Steyer is based on the discovery of two letters found in a brief case carried by the transient. One was addressed to Lance 4234 Mary land avenue, St. Louis, and was Signed "Mother." The other was ddxessed to ''Clint Smith, Charleston, 111.," and was signed, "George little." Mrs. Steyer, when first questioned bjy Coles county officers, claimed her name was "Marie Lance." but later she admitted her name was and that she was married to "Harold Steyer." She was arrested along with Clint Smith at Smith's farm, south of Charleston, following the burning' of a school-house nearby.

Officers found in her car some articles which looked auspiciously like those used only by arsonists, but they were unable to uncover sufficient evidence to start prosecution. Subsequently, Smith was released, and the woman was turned over to federal authorities who took her to Danville to prose cute her on a federal charge of transporting firearms. Deputy Sheriff Mac Cochran notified today of the discovery of the letters in the dead transient's brief case, said he would in turn notify Deputy State Fire Marshal Abrams Bt Decatur, and arrange to go to West Frankfort to confer with West Frankfort officials.
