Today mt Thiirsday Bp i I O L SATURDAY I flfsJ COLLEEN I MOORE in I "HER WILD OAT'' I I NEW YEARS MIDNIGHT I I MATINEE I TUN FIT FOR A KING" (Contltru.d from Vw 1 murder case, the police yesterday definitely located his lair which he had occupied durlnz the days that little Marian was kidnaped and un til Sunday morning, several hours after the child's dismembered body had been exchanged for her lath er's $1500. ESCAPED IN RAID By fincer print and photoeraph identification the police have de termined that during these days, Hickman occupied an apartment under the name of Donald Evans, Led by an Identification mark found ona towel left with the body of the slain child, 100 police officers de scended upon the apartment house Sunday. Accordinc to the landlady, Mrs, Ethel Broderick, soon after the raid Hickman strolled by her In a hall way, dropped a casual remark and left the building. He did not re turn. But the officers, having Iden tified Hickman as the hunted "fox" returned to his apartment yesterday. There they found the very neck tie which Hickman had worn while his picture was taken for police Identification last summer at the time of his arrest on forgery charg es. It was that arrest which result ed In his discharge from the bank of which Parker is an officer and which Is believed to have provided the vengeance motive which drove Hickman to the fiendish crime of which he Is accused. NEW CLIES REVEALED On this second, more minute search, the officers found stains which they ordered analyzed to de termine whether they might have been caused by the slaying of little Marian In that apartment. They also found a shirt bearnig the Ini tials H. B. O. T he name H. B. Oer- ber had been found Inked In the neckband of a piece of a shirt used to tie the bundle that was a part of the slain girl's body. Articles found there had come from Kansas City, the former home of Hickman. A crudely made pair of mittens was discovered. They were made, of black oilcloth and the thread with which they had been stitched was Raid by the officers to be the same as that with which lit tle Marian's eyelids bad been pierced. The mittens, according to the officers, might have been used to prevent the small victim trom making any resistance. The other side of the dual char acter presented by the police inves tigations was presented by the boy's Sunday school teacher and the wo man at whose boarding house he lived for some time. ALSO A "GENTLEMAN" "The Hickman boy seemed a gen tleman." aaid Pervy Peer?, his Bun- day school teacher. "He has oc casional fits of melancholia though." "He was such a neat, quiet, ord erly boy, declared Mrs. M. C. Drla- kell, the manager of the boarding house In Alhambra, a suburb, where Hickman lived for four months. "He went to church and Sunday school. He never stayed out late at night. He was always carefully groomed, extremely polite, used good grammar and otherwise was a model boy." That's the youth if the police are right, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde come to life with a vengeance, far outstripping the fiction character that Is the object of what is de clared to be the greatest man hunt In the history of southern Californ ia.. Milton Jakowsky who had been arrested as a suspect in the case was released last night. SUSrECT RELEASED Police detectives said that only Jakowsky's morbid curiosity had given him any connection with the case. His arrest was caused by the report of neighbors of the Parkers that Jakowsky, a friend of the In formants, had spent much of his time since the kidnaping of the child, peering at the Parker house from behind the neighbors win dows. Suspicion that he might be Involved In the case was based on the belief that the kidnaper had kept a close check on the activities in the Parker home. RESCUE WORK IS RESUMED ON SUB (Continued from Pue 1) pressure at various levels, no report on Ingram's findings was available at 2 o'clock. No sounds from the torpedo room of the S-4 In which six men are Imprisoned, had been heard since 6 o'clock last night when seven faint taps were detected IV the oscillator of the submarine S-8, sister ship of the S-4. Although the 8-8 signalled at hourly Intervals throughout the night no answer came back from below. Just before 10 o'clock this morn- li .; the S-8 pulled up anchor and left from the spot where she had been endeavoring to communicate with the S-4. The Falcon came and took anchorage and the S-8 wig wagged for permission to charge her batteries. This was given from the Falcon. The S-8 had been under orders to remain in position as long as there , was any hope of communicating : with her sister ship. Her action in j moving away was interpreted as I meaning there was no longer pos- i slbility that life remained on board the S-4 and that no more signals : might be looked for.
