Police, Armed, Rush to Scene and
Feel Assured Stranger of Hill
Murder Typo Is About.
Warnings Issued by the principal of
the Arleta public school to pupils and
teachers, against dangers in that sec
tion of the city, led Indirectly yester
day to the circulation of a report that
another crime, bearing close resem
blance to those against the Hill family
and little Barbara Holzman, had been
committed In the Mount Scott district.
A woman of the neighborhood tele-
phoned to Captain of Detectives Moore,
telling him of the reports In circula
tion, and Ieteetlves Price and Carpen
ter, armed with rifles, went to the
place from which the complaint ema
nated. While the police found that the alarm
grew out of a little incident, disclo
sures lead to the belief that the mur
derer of the Hills or a degenerate of his
class, is lurking not far from the scene
of the quadruple murder In the brushy
country between the Mount Scott and
Estacada lines and that he has accosted
many persons In a mora or less menac
ing manner.
Caution urged by teachers on their
pupils Wednesday, led to a report that
five children had been accoBted by a
stranger. The little daughter of Mrs.
J. K. Turner, of 6718 Fifty-third
avenue, complained yesterday that a
strange man had met her on the road
and tried to entice her to follow him.
She eluded him and fled. He was a
middle-aged man, of medium height
and stout, with a mustache sprinkled
with gray.
Hazel Babcock and Mabel Hawles.
young girls living near Tremont sta
tion, reported that on their way home
from school they had been pursued by
a dark-complexioned man who made
faces at them. He made no effort to
overtake them.
