ana province itself was quiet, so far
as could be learned.

in Aiding Youth.
"Someone, in a facetious moment,
defined vocational guidance as
'seeing through Johnny and seeing
Johnny through'. It is rather help-
ing Johnny to see through himself
and to see himself through," said
Professor George E. Myers, who is
president of the National Vocation-
al Guidance association, at the ed-
ucational conference yesterday af-
ternoon.
"Responsibility for choosing his
occupation and for success in it
rests upon the individual himself,"
Professor Myers continued. "The
father who says to his son 'You are1
to follow in my footsteps and be-
come a lawyer' and the counselor
who tells a youth he should be an
engineer or a plumber are both
dangerously near to the kind who
rush in where angels fear to tread."
"However, the father, the coun-
selor, and others also may give the
youth invaluable assistance in ob-
taining the information he needs
in this important matter-informa-
tion concerning his own aptitudes,
limitations, and personality traits,
the requirements and opportunities
of occupations which interest him,
where and how the needed prepara-
tion may be obtained advantage-
ously, and the like."

POLICE SEARCH FOR 'MYSTERIOUS
STRANGER' SEEN WITH COUPLES
IN MILAN CAFE; LORE DRANK, CLAIM
State police, sheriff's officers of Wayne and Washtenaw
counties, together with newspaper men took part in a far reach-
ing man hunt staged last night for a "stranger" who was seen
with the two couples between 2 and 3 o'clock Tuesday morn-
ing in a Milan restaurant, and for two Ypsilanti Negroes who
it is believed might have been implicated in the torch slaying.
The theory was advanced last night that the fifth man of
the party might have joined the two couples in Milan as
townspeople tell that before entering the restaurant the couples
were seen driving without any such individual.
In spite of the discovery yesterday of several new clues to the
brutal torch murder of two Cleveland high school girls and their
escorts near Willis, investigating officials early this morning appear-
ed to have made little advance in the solution of the case since the
first suspects were arrested Tuesday night.
The combined forces of Wayne and Washtenaw counties, sup-
plemented by state officials, were fruitlessly combing the vicinity of
the murder for further clues. Three suspects were questioned at
the county jail yesterday, but were released later.
Significant developments of yesterday's investigation were as
follows:
1. Norman England, 19, waiter at "Grandma's Pantry," a
restaurant in Milan, stated that he had waited on the two couples
and a fifth person, whom he described as a "ragged stranger," at
about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning.. His statement, however, con-
flicted with that of Thomas Goodrich, village constable, who was
said to have stated that only four people entered the restaurant.
2. The discovery of the blood-stained purse of Vivian Gold,
one of the murder victims, by Fred D. Jones, Ypsilanti salesman,
on South River Road, about 6 miles north of the place where the
burned car was found, further substantiated the theory advanced
yesterday that at least one of the victims was killed before the car
was driven to the County Line road.
3. The spots, alleged by the Keene brothers to be shellac,
found on a "window lever" club, were identified as blood stains .by
Dr. Herbert Emerson, of the Pas-
teur Institute of the Medical
MURDER CASE school.

A watch, identified as belonging to Lore,
fixed the time of the fire at 5:06 a.m.
The bodies were identified by the father
of Wheatley.
State police andsheriff's officers began
an immediate search of "blind pig" farm-
houses and investigated every amusement
center for miles around.
The bodies were removed to Ann Arbor
for inquest and post mortem examination.
Examination of the car failed to reveal
fingerprints on the body.
Two brothers, Paul Keene, 49, and Law-
rence, 38. recluse laborers living in a
shanty on wheels about a mile from the
burned automobile were arrested for ques-
tioning. Bloodstained clubs, a box of bul-
lets, and stained clothing were foundbin
their hut.
An autopsy Wednesday revealed that all
the victims had been severely beaten before
being cremated. Two bullet wounds were
found in Lore's body. The bodies of the
others showed fractured skulls or internal
injuries.
A canvas of state hospitals for the in-
sane was made. No recent escapes were
reported.
The Wayne county board of aduitors Wed-
nesday voted to offer a reward of $1,000
for each arrest and conviction in the case.
Abloodstained purse, the property of Miss
Gold, was found on South Huron River road,
six miles from the death spot.
Norman England, waiter- in a restaurant
at Milan, Mich., reported Wednesday see-
ing the four young people in company with
a man of unkempt appearance in his cafe
at 2:10 a.m. Tuesday. He said neither of
the Keene brothers was the man.
Dr. Herbert Emerson, director of the
Pasteur institute at the University of Mich-
igan, Wednesday discovered human blood on
the clubs found at the Keene shack.
Harry Bennett, chief of the Ford service
department, joined the forces of law with
some of his men.

Baker, 19, Wednesday afternoon in a raid
on a shack near where the bodies were
found.
Attorney General Paul W. Voorhies ar-
rived in Ann Arbor to corelate investigating
agencies. He conferred with Sheriff Henry
Behrendt and Prosecutor Harry S. Toy, of
Wayne county, and with Washtenaw county
officials.

ternoon, was adjourned at the request of

take place at 1 o'clock yesterday,
was postponed by Coroner Ed-

of Albert J. Rapp, Washtenaw
county prosecutor, pending fur-
ther investigation.

with the murder. Both denied
having any connection with the
affair, although admitting steal

Early this afternoon an abandon-

Wayne copnty sheriff's department.

whisky bottle and a suitcase. Depu-
ties, however, believed that the car
had no connection with the murder.
