back the torn and lifeless body or
little Marian and sold It to her dis
tracted father for flGUO and when
tho womnn remarked to her hus

automobile while Hlckmnu placed

Heen by tho man and his wife as
they thought nothing of tho mat
ter and continued on into the apart
ment.
After hearing tho story of the
couple, Chief of Detectives Herman
Cllue immediately ordered offi
cers t,o continue their Investiga
tions on tho theory that Hickman
was aided by at least one other
per bo n in his revolting crime.
Last night a janitor in the apart
ment house told the officers of hav
ing seen Hickman, then known as
Kvnns, carrying bundles on Friday
night. Although this first was in
terpreted to mean that the child
might have beon killed the day pre
vious to the collection of tho ran- !
Bom, the finding of the other wit- j
nesscs caused police to attach less i

against him, the whereabouts of
tho young fugitive apparently were

One suspect, captured about 2 a.

nnd Santa Monica, was detained
until the county Identification bur
eau opened when his fingerprints
were compared with those of Hick

It was Hhown that he was not tho

Parker by her father. Perry M.
Parker, was declared today by him
to have been tho voice of William
Kdward Hickman, accused slayer
or the child, and a discharged em

Is an official.
Parker reached this decision In
recalling Incidents of the employ

identified by finger prints as

In reviewing these Incidents.
Parker strengthened the police
theory that revenge was the root
of the fiendish plot and that the
child's slayer was striking ot Par

"At the time , of the telephone
conversations and while I was
talking with the person after fol
lowing his Instructions and hand
ing him the ransom money, I did
not connect the voice and de
meanor with any employe or for
mer employe of the bank," Parker
said.
"After the search through the
employes' records, the photo

been revealed through the 'work-Of
the police, I recall tho unusual
manner in which Hickman talked
with ine about his discharge fdr

after pleading guilty to forgery
charges.) I remember how he
asked me for his position again
after being granted probation-

his replies to questions and the'
calm manner and voice I heard;

Suspect Is Questioned
LOS ANGELES, Calif.. Dec. 21.
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.
For that reason further investiga
tion was ordered but no immediate
move to Identify hfra was made.
