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.

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.
