Police detectives said that only Jakowsky 's morbid curiosity bad given him any connection with the case. His arrest was caused by the report of -neighbors of tho ParkerB that Jakowsky, a friend of the informants, had spent much of his time since the kidnaping of the child, peering at the Parker house from behind the neighbors win dows.

Deputy Sheriffs early today held for investigation a youth who gave his name as Sidney Farkas and who had been taken Into custody between Santa Monica and Bev erly Hills suburbs, on suspicion that he was William Edward Hick man, accused slayer of Marian Parker. Alth ugh the officers said that the man arrested answered the general description of Hickman and his likeness to the hunted man was striking, a hurried check of the youth seemed to disprove that he waa the man wanted. The sheriffs office announced that Farkas was being held until the county Identification bureau opened for the day when his finger prints would be compared with those of Hickman. Although officers did not believe it probable that Farkas would prove to be Hickman they said they were not satisfied with the rather vague reasons he gave for being at the place he was arrested.
