Danbury ‘
earch tor the murderer of Her-
. J. May, 20 year ,old Manger of
Atlantic and Pacific Tea store
Dal-ten; who was shot and killed
a bandit last Saturday evening,
was being made in Nat-walk today
2;.- the Butler: and Norwuk police.
The local police were asked this
morning to look up two young men
from this City who were seen in the
vicinity or the shooting Saturday
night. One or the young men an-
swers the description of the man
who entered the A. 5.- P. store and
killed young May.
The local police have a. line on the
young men and they‘are expected to
‘oe brought into police headquarters
and questioned regarding their
whereabouts on the night of the
murder.
The attention of the Dal-ion police
was brought to the young men by a.
3 esident of Darlen‘who noticed them
round the Darien Center just be-
fore the shooting. They conveyed
this information to the Darlen po-
lice last evening.
Since the murder, all clues that
have been presented to the police
have been run down and many per-
sons who were in the Vicinity o! the
shooting at the time have been
questioned by the State and Darien
Police.
Search has also been made in New
York City and the New York police
have been given a description of the
-uurderer in the hope that he may
be apprehended in that city. It is
thought that the man who did the
shooting might have come from
New York City. On the other hand
Sergeant 0: Police Kelley and Grand
Juror Martin J. Shaughnessy are
confident that the shooting was done
by a novice who was familiar :with
the surrounding country.
Constable Edward McGuinness of
Dorian, turned over four empty
325 from a .38 calibre gun to the
- Police yesterday. These shells
:’ and on the railroad tricks
_ the scone'of the shooting and
strengthened the belief that.
the murderer came in the direction
‘ o! Nor-walk after the shooting and
that he ls still here.
As the result of. the. finding of.
can bullets it. is the plan otthe
tte, Darlen and local authorities
comb this city trom one end to
3.6 other.
A search has been made at the
ore where the shooting took place
to determine it a. fourth bullet was
fired by the bandit. but gonstahle
mmnnea who has been working
an the case stated that as yet only
' three or the bullets could be ac-
counted for. One was taken from
the body of May and the other two
were found lodged in the woodwork
attire store.
'It is thought that the handler!-
iter running up on the railroad
tracks, reloaded his gun and that
h ‘c was determined to put up a fight
“his ponders struck his trail and
i come within firing distance.
’. macardoth‘inanceorthe'rown
’ of Barton hove recommended that
the town Voter a reward or $2,500
for the capture of the murderer.
.‘Ihls resolution will be presented at
a ram meeting that will be held in
the near fixture. The reward that
will be uttered by the Town of Dar-

HARTFORD, April film—Delegates
favorable to the nomination of
William G. McAdoo for president
were elected to the democratic state
convention at several of the town
caucuses held throughout the state
last night. McAdoo appeared to be
assured of at least four of the sev-
enteen delegates who will represent
Connectclut in the national conven—
tion. but the indications are that
Governor Alfred E. Smith of New
York will have more support than
he has from this state.
Unless the state delegation is
bound by a. unit rule, it. appears
likely from the results of last
night's caucuses that it will divide
its support between Smith, McAdoo
and Senator Oscar W. Underwood.
The only attempt to instruct a.
town delegation to the state conven-
tion with regard to the presidential
nomination was in NorthrCanaan.
where the caucus directed the town's
two delegates to support for, dele-
gates to the national convention per-
sons favorable to the nomination of
McAdoo. Mertden‘a fifteen delegates
were instructed to support former
Intemal.Revenue Collector James P.
Welsh of that city for one o: the
two delegates from the Third Con-
gressional District to the national
convention. He is said to favor Mc-
Adoo’s nomination. Care was taken
