Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKL), OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1935. PAGE FIVE T HELD AS SUSPECT FRESNO, Cal ., Dec. 31. UP) Fresno county authorities were be lieved holding Edward Meyers, 38. Texas transient, In some secluded spot today for further questioning In the slaying of 14-year old Mary Stammer. Although the state bureau ot criminal Identification reported Meyer's fingerprints did not check with those of the slayer, the county sheriff's officers made no Immedi ate move to release their prisoner. Much of the obscure movements with which Sheriff George Overholt and his aides surrounded their de tention of Meyers was due to the fear of mob action here should suspect be brought to the county Jail and be connected definitely with the slaying. The mob spirit so rife at the time the body of the studious high school girl was found on a bed in the Stammer home in the Figarden suburb has not yet died down.

His shoes, officers said, were ap-. proximately the same size as those worn by the Intruder who shot the Stammer girl through the head and then dragged her Into a bedroom to attack her, only to be frightened away from the body of his victim.
