belief that DetectlYee Snow and Kerri

made only- one error. They are ocused
of ' notifying the parents , of Thomaa
Kuasell, Jr.. that he waa wanted for
assaulting and robbing Paul Ayleaworth
In the railway terminal yards the night
of December It; of falling to remain
at the house, though Mrs. Russell -said
her son ' would soon return; accepting
the promise of the mother to take him
to police headquarters, and not notify

were assigned to the ease, of what they
" bad learned, as well as of falling to
make a report to Chief Oritsmacher or
"I know that Snow and, Kerrigan did
not know Vaughn and I were working
on the case," aald Detective Day.
"Neither did Carpenter and Reslng, nor
their Investigation Independently.
"Mrs. Russell Informed -me that these
"two detectives did not tell her what her
boy waa wanted for. She told ma whom
she learned thla from and I have found
her statement to be true. It 8now and
Kerrigan are to blame for anything it
waa In not waiting at the house for
