the nature of the administration’s ne
gotiations for a conference, but he
was authorized to say that they did
not include a cancellation of the Al
lied debt.

BROOKLYN DETECTIVES STILL PUZZLED
BY THE MYSTERIOUS CHILD MURDER
New York, Dec. 28.—Brooklyn's keen-
est detectives are puzzled for a solu
tion of the mysterious shooting ol
Theresa McCarthy, aged ten. In her
home Tuesday. Today they took note
of the slightly upward course of the
,22-callbre bullet that pierced her
heart as disclosed by the autopsy
and are Inclined more to the theory
that another child was responsibls
for the tragedy.
The deduction was that the bullet’s
course would have been downward
hud an older and taller person fired
the shot.
The mother of the child was unable
to aid tho police In Identifying any
person whom she thinks may have
called to see Theresa while (he was
alone in the day time.
New York. Dec. 28.—More than
thirty-six hours after they began their
Investigation, the police last night
confessed themselves baffled In their
search for a solution of circumstances
surrounding the death of Teresa Mc
Carthy, 10-year-old school girl, whose
body with a .22 caliber bullet through
the heart was found In a toy Uttered
room of her borne Tuesday.
The Investigation after the police
had laboriously dissipated a half dozen
nebulous clues, sifted down to two
theories.
The first, tho one considered the
most creditable by the police, was that
the child had been accidentally shot
by a playmate who had been given a
gun of small caliber as a Christmas
present.
The second theory which the police
say they had little faith In, was that
the child was shot down by a sailor
of whom Theresa and several of her
girl friends complained several weeks
ago, declaring that be had annoyed
them.
An autopsy yesterday by Medical
Examiner Norris, provided the princi
pal grounds for tho theory of acciden
tal death. The medical examiner de
clared the girl had not beon attacked.
The .22 caliber aoft-noBed bullet that
passed through the heart, he found,
went straight through the body. Indi
cating that the gun muzzle was on a
level with the child's breast at the
time of the explosion. Powder marks
on the clothing Indicated that the shot
had been tired at close range.
More than one hundred boys living
in the neighborhood of the McCarthy
home were questioned by detectives in
a search for one who might have re
ceived a .22 caliber pistol or rifle as a
Christmas gift.
The police also re-examined the
girl's father, Edward McCarthy, a
painter and a war veteran, who had
been separated from the girl's mother.
Mrs. Pauline McCarthy, for several
years. They declared that he had suc
cessfully accounted for bis actions on
Tuesday.
