His daughter, Ann Edmunds, "33, noted campus actress, started to drive home at noon, and was astounced to findf a tricycle parked in the back seat of the car. Cross examination of B & G attend- ants, who admitted having seen bi- cycles and roller skates galore, failed to reveal any trace of a young gentle- man seen riding a three-wheeler.
