Chief Hnvls Intimated that
Hlfkmnn wtl! be taken birk to
I .on Angeles In an airplane, al
though be refused to state when
"Tho Kox" will b taken from ;
th' Pendleton jail.
"Everything In the south points
to n siil? crime." chief Davis
Mated, "and we fee I a s u re d
that It was Hickman who so fiend
Idity murdered latin M irl on Par
ker. A confession from him to
this effect would certainly save
Los Angeles law enforcement of
ficers a lot of searching." he admitted.
IVeparctl for Molw
Little fear ,of mob violence
when Iho kidnaper Is taken to
Los Angeles scene of his brutal
crime, is held by chief Davis.
"Our men are marshaled to
cow with any sltua'lon likely to
ariae." he said. "Of course we are
on guard for mob feeling, but In
view of our hundreds of offlrers,
wo feet able to tukejrare of the
kidnnper when he Iri unloaded lu
.Us Angeles.
Tho Los Angelejt authorities
5"emlnly based their disbelief of
the Hickman confession on as
flirted discrepancies In his story.
- Among other things It was
pointed out that the towel stuffed
In (he torso of the murdered
girl boro the name of the Helle
vue Arms apartment, where
Hlrkmnn lived. Disbelief, of
Hl k man's story that the girl
wn In his poseslon only a short
whtlu was baHd ou the fact that
"The Fox" following the klduap
inr. ordered the milkman to leave
a uuart Instead of a pint of milk

Hits of Rrnzil nut shells found
In the pocket of the coat In
which Marlon's' body was wrap
ped, corresponded with cracked
mil found !n Hickman's apart
ment. Thread ut.ed to sew open
the eyes of the girl after she
had been murdnred, was the
same as that found in apartment
SIR of the Hellevue Arrrt.
Another conclusive point In ar
guments of Los Angeles author
ities over tho possibility of a
troml party. Is that portions of
neuipniiere used to wrap ptia
ofi tJie rlrl's dismembered body
were .taken from editions of
