Eisenhower had invited Scranton to meet with him before the president departed on his annual winter er vacation in California.

Scranton said Eisenhower in- dicated he knew the governor was not interested in running for the presidency.

He ran back to the church, asked the male parishioners to surround the rectory, and told the women and children to stay away. About 25 men ran around the big 3-story rectory. Deputy chiefs George Stewart and Albert Cavan told reporters later that when the men arrived they found Mercier dead and the would-be robbers had fled upstairs.

When police reached the second floor, they found Miss Guidon's On the same floor, near the steps leading to the third floor, was the body of Binette, shot through the head. The two injured women were in their third floor apartment. Police did not fire a shot, said the deputy chiefs.
