In a determined effort to find the answer to this question.

Attorney James E. Bales Tuesday, in a long letter to Lee County Sheriff John Quest, has re-opened the investigation into the mysterious circumstances clouding the death of Shaw, a Shaws Station farmer who was shot to death in his home in December, 1963. "I have previously requested that the investigation continue and I now insist that everything be done to complete the the letter said, as a suggestion, you might request that the witnesses wrho were so certain they saw Alvah Shaw in a tavern on Monday the day after he allegedly died, and also driving an automobile on Monday when his nephew, Robert Shaw, stated he shot his uncle on Sunday night, submit to a lie detector people testified under oath (at Robert murder trial) to these facts and I am sure they should have no objection to taking a the letter continued, least this might clarify any question concerning the matter and I think they would desire such nephew, Robert, was brought to trial in January of this year on a murder charge.

Balps further suggested to the Sheriff that a lie detector test may be given to Elmer Shaw to any suspicion, if there be Circumstances surrounding death of Shaw have been confusing at best.

Barry apparent grip on the Republican presidential nomination. Scranton's backers also were reported in line for another setback in a ruling by Rep. Katherine St.
