Here is Glen's theory of fight

plausibility:
"Two evenly matched bp

POLICE LOCATE
1 LAIR OF FIEND
Where to Hunt
(Continued lion page 1)
yesterday Identified Hickman
positively as the robbir.
Locate Lair.
Although they were unable to
run to earth the man whom they
accuse of being "The Fox" in
the atrocious murder case, the
police yesterday definitely lo
cated his lair, which he bad
occupied during the diys that
tittle Marian was kidnaped and
nntll Sunday morning, several
' hours after the child's dlsmem
bered body had been exchanged
for her father's $1500.
' . By finger print and photo
graph identification the police
have determined that during
those days, Hickman' occupied
an apartment nnder the name of
Donald Evans. Led by an iden
tification mark found on a towel
left with the body of the slain
child, a hundred police officers
descended npon the apartment
nrase Sunday.
Failed To Return.
' According to the landlady
.Mis. Ethel Broderick, soon after
the raid Hickman strolled by
her In a hallway, dropped a ca
sual remark and left tbe build
ing. He did not return. But
t he "of fleers, having identified
Hickman as the hunted "Fox"
returned to his apartment yes
terday. There they found' the very
necktie which Hickman had worn
while his picture was taken for
police Identification last summer
at the time of his arrest on for
gery charges. It wa,s that ar
rest which resulted In his, dis
charge from the bank of which
Parker la an officer and which
is believed to have provided the
vengeance motive which . drove
Hickman to the fiendish crime of
which he is accused.
On this second, more minute
search, the officers found stains
which, they ordered analyxed to
determine whether they might
have been caused by the slaying
of little Marian In that apart
ment. They also found a shirt
bearing tbe initials H. B. O. Tbe
name H. B. Gerber bad been
found inked in tbe neckband of
a piece of a shirt used to tie
the bundle that was part of the
slain school girl's body.
Thread Located.
Articles found there had come
from Kansas City, the former
home of Hickman. A crudely
made pair of mittens was dis
covered. They were made of
- black oilcloth and the thread
, with which they had been stitch
ed was said by the officers to
be the same as that with which
" little Marian's eyelids had been
" pierced. The mittens, according

The other side of the dual
character presented by tbe po
lice investigations wis presented
by the boy's Sunday school teach
er and the woman at whose
boarding house he lived for
some time.
"The Hickman boy seemed a
gentleman," slid Pervy Peek,
his Sunday school teacher. "He
had occasional fits of melan
cholia, though."
Orderly and Quiet.
"He was such a neat, quiet,
orderly boy," declared Mrs. M.
C. Driskel. the manager of the
boarding house in Alhambra. a
suburb, where Hickman lived
for four months.
"He went to church and Sun
day school. He never stayed out
late at night. He was always
carefully groomed, extremely po
lite, used good grammar and oth
erwise was a model boy."

CLEVELAND. Dec. 21. Fate
often plays queer prank in one's
career. There is no doubt but
that Dame Fortune had much to
do with shaping the career of
Roger Peckinpaugh, newly-appointed
manager of the Cleve
land Indians.
An indignation meeting h 'Id
by the New York Yankees, in
which Peck, being entirely ignor
ant of the event, played no part,
caused his passing from the New
York Americans at a lima when
he wa3 rated the most valuable
shortstop in tbe American Leag
ue. One of the two Pullmans en
gaged to haul the Yankees from
New York to St. Louis offered
the setting for the Yankees to
give "vent to their feelings, give
Peckinpaugh the college yell and
bring crepe on Miller Hugglns.
then managing tbe Yankees.
That was during tbe season of
1921. Despite the fact that New
York won the pennant that sea
son, all was not well within the
ranks of the Yankees. There
seemed to be a lack of discipline
and few of the players seemed to
have the proper respect for Man
ager Hugglns. Peckinpaugh was
one of those who did.
So tense was the feeling against
Hugglns that a group of players,
more than half of the squad, met
in tbe. Pullman, other than tbe
one in which Peckinpaugh haf
his berth, to take action to over
throw the Hugglns dynasty,
The consensus of the red shirts
was that Hugglns must go and
that Peckinpaugh should succeed
him. It was decided that on the
return of tha Yankees to New
York, the matter would he taken
up with Colonel Jake Ruppcrt.
owner of the club, and if he
didn't accede to their wishes the
team would go out on a strike.
It is just possible thut Mime
of the boys might have been
under a stimulating Influence
other than aqua. pura. but. re
gardless, such action was taken.
As is always tho ra' the af
fair, supposed to be kept a deep,
dark secret, leaked out. Instead
of Hugglns walking the planki
Peckinpaugh. who had no part in
the Insurrection, and who was in
nocent of the entire affair, wai
the victim. ,
Without going Into the if and
whys of the case, Colonel Jakw
Iluppett decided -on quiek action,
Although he had nothing against
PecklnrauKh. he was strong fo'
Hugglns and figured if IlngKlns
was o succeed, it was be.it that
Peckinpaugh should go.
It was this state of affilrs that
caused New York to enter into
three-cornered trade that brought
Scott of Boston to New York and
sent Peck to Washington.
it wasn't a bad break for Perk
