POLICE NET FLUNG OUT .
FOR KILLER OF MARIAN
(Continued from pga 1)
outward.
Behind him he left in the hand3
of the i police Milton Jakowsky.
youthful government aeronautical
expert, suspected of being the link
through which Hickman Is be
lieved to have gained information
on movements of the Parker fam
ily. Evidence Piles Up
Behind him too, there piled up
Blowly bits of evidence to rivet
more firmly the chain of testimony
being forged by the police to
brand him kidnaper, slayer and
mutilator of the little school girl.
Detectives on his trail started
today with positive fingerprint
evidence and eye witness identifi
cation of Hickman as the one who
stole .Marian from school last
Thursday noon and who, on Sat
urday night, threw her dismem
bered body into the gutter under
her father's eyes. s .
Chased by a gasoline filling sta
tion attendant seeking to collect
$1.03 for fuel, the fugitive aped
into the darkness of the east side
barely ahead of the police hue and
rv Ilia trail vu lost In the
I 'ti i c?
Meanwhile detectives scouring
the city located in the Belle vue
Arms apartments a bathroom spat
ttred with blood in , which .they
declare Marian Parker's body was
dissected. The proprietress iden
tified Hickman's picture as the
man who rented the apartment
knder the name of Evans.
From a wastebasket In the room
there came a thin strand pt thread
used to tie up four, gruesome par
cels fund Sunday morning In Elys-
ian park and containing the fore
arms, legs and viscera of mur
dered Marion.
The same basket gave up a part
of a broken brazil not, the other
half of which the police say they
found .In the little j pocket of the
dress which covered the remains
of the slain girl. , i
Blood Stains Numerous
Other clues In the apartment
Included tQwelg bearing stains said
by Investigators to be blood and a
shirt similarly marked. The tub,
wall and floor of the bathroom
showed more stains.
The floor was ? littered with
newspapers bearing Los Angeles
and Kansas. City, Mo., date lines,
the latter the home town of the
fugitive
On the desk blotter was the im
print of the name "Marian."
Jakowsky, held Incommunicado
as a material witness, was arrest
ed last night following lengthy
questioning by detectives. He
came here from Washington, D.
C, where police say ' he was em
ployed as an aeronautical engin
ecr by the department of com
merce. .
Prisoner Grows Desperate
Turning suddenly on his jailers
th's morning, the powerful youth
attempted to. club his way out of
Jail. He finally was subdued by
four men and led Into another
cell, crying that he would kill him
self. , -
What police now say Is positive
Identification of Hickman as the
slayer was made 'first' through
comparison of fingerprints found,
on the steering wheel of the death
car, and those found on letters
sent Marian's father demanding
the -ransom. Later Hickman's
photograph, taken several months
ago, when ' he was arrested for
forgery, committed while he "was
employed in the same bank where
Parker was an official was Identi
fied by Mrs. Mary Holt, attend
ance supervisor at the Mount Ver
non junior high school from which
Marian was taken by her abductor.
Telegraph company employes at
Alhambra also Identified the pic
ture as that of the man who sent
telegrams to Marian's father. .
With its forces being augment
ed almost hourly by detals of of
ficers- from ; outside cities, the
great police manhunt went on Into
the night.
Preparations Traced
Hickman the soft spoken Sun
day school boy who. suddenly be
came "the fox" thai is accused of
killing little Marian Parker laid
Lhis plans with inhuman 'foresight
and deliberation, the police learn
ed today.
The officers declared that foT
the three weeks just preceding the
kidnaping of the little school girL
Hickman waged a campaign of
drug store robberies that amassed
for him a goodly stock of anaes
thetics and sleeping potions.
In one of these robberies, be Is
said to have forced the drug clerk
at gun point to instruct him In the
details of administering the anaes
thetics he was stealing.
Cleverness Diabolical
In their Investigation of the
apartment house where Hickman
la believed to "have made his lair.
the police found that on last Sun
day morning, the day after he had
bartered the child's dismembered
body for 31500, he sat up in bed
while the officers raided the house
and exhorted them "to find the
fiend that did this."
The revelation of Hickman's
series of pharmacy robberies, to
get the anaesthetics with which
police believe he put little Marian
to sleep while he mutilated her
body, came late today. ,
Hickman's picture was positive
ly identified by one druggist as
the bandit who held him up late on
November 27, rifled his cash reg
ister and took sleeping tablets
when he failed to find the drugs
he had demanded. .
The next night, a similarly des
cribed youth held up another drug
store, Again he took the cash reg
ister contents Mwell, jul several
cans of anaesthetics. Then he
stuck his pistol into the druggist's
ribs and commanded: --
"How do you use this stuff?;
The druggist, terrified, J gave
minute' Instructions in the use of
the anaesthetics and the ' robber
fled. - ; '
The third pharmacy robbery
was the night of December 6. In
all three cases, the'robber fled in
a Chrysler coupe answering In de
tail the description of the death
car found by police after the kill
er kidnaper had " delivered Mari
an's body to hen father, - " j -
The detectives who learned of
the thefts felt sure that Hickman
had his awful revenge plot plan
ned out in detail at that time
and that he used his loot to keep
Marian quiet while he kept her
hidden In his apartment.
Police Outwitted
They had overlooked that apart
ment two days before. For on Sun
day morning a squad of one hund
red policemen had swooped down
on the building after there ' had
been found, on one of the towels
stuffed into the dismembered tor
so of Marian Parker, the identify
ing mark of that apartment
house's linens.
The police searched the place
thoroughly but young Hickman
had worked with thorougness and
haste. For in that search when the
police scanned the apartment of a
nice looking lad named Donald
Evans, they found nothing In any
of the rooms to excite their sus
picion. "
When they burst into the place,
young Evans sat up in bed with a
grin, as they told him what they
were after.
"Go ahead boys," he smiled
"Make It a good search. I hope
you find the fiend."
Vanishes Immediately
They -found - nothing -and -left
And 'soon afterward Donald Evans
strolled past . Mrs; Ethel . Broder
ick, manager of the .place .with a
casual remark- and vanished.
And today, led again to Donald
Evans . apartment, police found
that the smiling fellow - who had
greeted them Sunday morning was
Hickman -himself. . -
And on this second, more min
ute Bearch, they found bloodstains
la the bathroom bloods.tains.
newspapers,: clothing, other .means
means of identification and other
clues that' left them all. with the
firm conviction that there Edward
Hickman had hidden his little vic
tim; that there he had tortured
her; - that there he had written
the ransom notes to the child's
father; that there he had finally
brought about her death.
Clues all Check Up
Articles found there had come
from " Kansas City where Hick
man came from. Too, fingerprints
were found there, tallying with
Hickman's. Residents and the
manager identified Hickman's pic
ture without reservation as that
of Donald Evans.
The officers found also a shirt
with the Initials H. B. G. On Mari
an Parker's body had been an
other shirt with the name ol H.
B. Gerber. Where Hickman got
these shirts the police haven't discovered.
Police tonight announced they
had found In the apartment used
by Hickman a pair of crudely
made mittens. They had been
made of black oil cloth and were
stitched with thread which was
the same as that used In piercing
the eyelids of the slain girl. The
police theory was that the mittens
were used to handicap the kidnap
ed child In making any resistance.
place there. The apartment janl-
or perhaps to prevent her from
untying cords or ropes is the were
ted up. '
Suspect Turned Loose
Milton Jakowsky, who was ar
rested as a suspect la the case.
was released tonight. ,
Jakow8kys morbid curiosity
was his only connection with the
Marian Parker murder, according
to .Detectives Lieutenants Lloyd
and McCarron, who investigated
his activities.
. He was arrested after neighbors
of the Parkers had reported that
Jakowsky, a friend of the inform
ants, had spent much time every
day after the kidnaping of Marian.l
sitting at one of their front win
dows and staring at the Parker
house. On Sunday morning, after
the murder was known. Jakowsky
arrived at his friend's home before
anyone was up and showed un
usual interest in the Parker fam
ily, it was reported.
Belief that the kidnaper had
kept a close check on activities at
the Parker home aroused suspicion
that Jakowsky might be involved.
They found Gerber in jail on a
forgery charge, where he had been
held since November 26.
Police Contradict Selves
"Hickman's picture looks like a
fellow I've eeen somewhere, but I
don't remember where or when or
how," Gerber said.
Contradicting their reports of
the finding of bloodstains in the
apartment, the police later tonight
declared they did not feel positive
the murder and mutilation took
