He had no further announcement
for puhlication, save that some of the
missing links in the chain of evidence
are gradually being welded together,
The gun with which the deed was corn
mitted has not been recovered. So
far the police have been unable to get
any trace of the weapon
Appearance of Premeditation
According to the information glean
ed by the police it would appear that
the murder was premeditated.. After
the fatal shot had been fired, the cart
in which Bean was driving home was
cragged across a ditch and drawn
alongside a fence. The absence of
imprints of the horses hoots in the
mud has convinced the police that the
murderer hauled the cart across the
ditch after the old man had been
thrown out in front of Colonel Varco's
