(PERTS BELIEVE FOUR WERE
MOVED TUOROD AFTER DEAD

(Continued from Page One)
to believe that her son had been
drinking, wanted to see England,
and to have him describe the cloth-
ing the boy wore. A new theory,
due to the apparent conflict be-
tween Goodrich's and England's
statements, was advanced, namely
that the two couples picked up the
fifth "mysterious stranger" at Mi-
lan between the time they were ob-
served by Goodrich and England.1
The latter stated that one of the
girls had ordered a tomato sand-
wich, which acounted for the find-
ings of the autopsy.
The purse, which was noticed by
Jones as he was driving down the
River road, was given to Deputy
Lynn Squires yesterday morning.
Jones had noticed a tomato lying
near the purse, and thought it had
caused the stains. When officials
later visited the spot, no signs of
a struggle were apparent, nor were
any other bloodstains found.
Richard Lowe, owner of a tourist
camp near Ann Arbor at the inter-
section of Glenn drive and Dexter
road, told police at 12:30 o'clock
last night that a New Jersey model
T Ford had been abandoned in his
camp, and that following a two
hour search he had been unable to
locate the owner.
Officers at the sheriff's office told
Lowe that they had no more time
to bother with abandoned cars,
closed the doors of the office, and
close dthe doors of the office, and
told reporters to "get out."
Believed Slain Elsewhere.
Investigators today adopted the
theory that at least two of the vic-
tims were killed by asailants who
attacked them as they were park-;
ed in a "lovers' lane" several miles
from the place where their bodies
were found in the Wheatley auto-
bila I

according to investigators, even
showing signs of good nature at
the end of the long grilling.
Bloodstains found on the under-
clothing and suspenders of the el-
der Keene were said by him to have
been caused by a quarrel he had
with his brother several days ago.
Tow Other Men Questioned.
Two young men were arrested
this morning at a speakeasy in
Wayne county by Detective Sar-
geant Stanley Ferguson of the state
police, Deputy William Dailey and
Special Deputy James Dunstone.,
Dailey said that the men, whose
names were not made public had
been in a speakeasy known as the
Gold Dollar last Friday night.
Dailey said that in a quarrel this
morning suspects mentioned the
names of the slain boys, Thomas
Wheatley and Harry Lore. The sus-
pects were known to have had a
fight with two Ypsilanti boys but
would not say who they were. They
were released, however, after ques-
tioning.
More than 1,000 persons loitered
i the vicinity of County jail Tues-
day night. The crowd was orderly,
however, and special deputies re-
ported that no disturbance arose.
Extensive Manhunt.
The manhunt, one of the most
determined ever organized in this
county, was directed by officials of
the Wayne county prosecutor's of-
fice, statepolice and local authori-
ties. More than 40 investigators
and officers worked throughout the
night in an effort to locate more
definite clews of the most ghastly
crime ever reported in this vicinity.
Autopsy Confirms Theory.
The autopsy strengthened the be-
lief of Sheriff Andres and other in-
vestigators that the party met
death in a desperate resistance to
an attack which has as its motive
either robbery or an attack on the

Other promising candidates for
tackle are Scott Marriner, Chicago,
who greatly resembles his brother,
Les, regular tackle from 1926-28;
Raymond Horn, 200-pounder from
Salem who is a tackle on the order
of Lou Gordon; and Frank Purma,

scrimmaged all last fall despite the
fact he was ineligible for competi-

Dick O'Neill, end from Ottawa
who was changed to a tackle posi-

player and may break into the reg-
ular lineup this fall; Bernon Per-

football before last fall is a fear-
less player and will be dangerous
when he gains experience; and
Monroe Glick 207-pound lineman
looks like he will be valuable as an
offensive guard to run interference
and a defensive tackle.

Several promising stalwarts are
included among the sophomore
guards. There is Sam Gorenstein,
scrappy 206-pounder from Chicago
who ordered Coach Zuppke off the
playing field last fall when he dis-
puted a decision in the varsity-
freshman game; Charley Damit,
blond, curly-headed fighting grid-
der from Brookfield; Ed Schalk,
Champaign boy who will be used

either -at guard or fullback, and
;Glen Mc~ammon, Maroa player
,ho was characterized as the hard-
est worker on the freshman squad.
The pivot position has three out-
standing candidates. They are
Casey Straw, Moline product, whose
playing characteristics remind one
of "Fighting Bob" Reitsch, captain
*of the 1928 championship team;
William Hedtke, 194-pounder from
Matteson who is a cracker-jack
center, and Lex Bullock, forme,
Urbana high school player and son
of Matt Bullock, varsity trainer.

At the Majestic: "Forbidden Ad-

"The Inventor". ... ... .... ....
"Forbidden Adventure" sort of
reincarnates that old proverb about
the little children who shall lead1
the old folks back home or some-
thing like that. Anyway this ,pic-
ture isn't anymore serious than our
attempt to quote the biblical prov-
erb, but it is decidedly more humor-'
ous, Mitzi Green is the usual tom-
boy who makes Jackie Searl the
but for her pranks. There is a lot'
of action in the show whether is
is an attempt by tomboy Mitzi to
administer an amateur haircut or
the capture of the kidnappers in
the London wharf district. Mitzi
this time pits her mimicry against
the big Hollywood moving picture
racket. She plays the part of the
child wonder who literally-and we
mean literally-crashes into the
limelight of stardom. Naturally
she must be the exploited progeny
of a socially ambitious mother. As
a result the scene of action shifts
to the habitat of all royalty-Lon-
don. Mama aranges to occupy the
suite in the hotel near the boy king,
whom we interpret to be the de-
thoned King Michael of Roumania.
Of course Mitzi and the king be-
come pals, but without the aid of
mother. Like a true king the royal
child proves to be the best fighter
in the gang so that all ends up
pretty well for these "regular guys."
E.H.E.

en had been beaten over the head
with a blunt instrument. That
Lore had attempted to fight was
indicated, the officials said, by the
fact that he suffered a fractured
rib and a punctured lung.
Voorhies Is Active.
While deputies from Washtenaw,
and Wayne counties searched for'
possible clews to the identity of the
slayers, Attorney General Paul W.!
Voorhies called for a conference of
prosecutors of the two counties in
an effort to co-ordinate all the
agencies in a sweeping investiga-
tion. He arrived here today.
Harry S .Toy, Wayne county
(Detroit) prosecutor, today recom-
mended to the Wayne county board
of supervisors that a reward be of-
fered.
Suspects Intoxicated.
Investigators believe that in the
scuffle the purse might have fallen
out of the Wheatley car to the
road. The autopsy performed Tues-
day by Dr. John C. Bugher supplied
conclusive evidence that both Miss
Gold and Miss Anna May Harrison
had been injured by blows from
some blunt instrument.
The suspects arrested Tuesday
evening, the Keene brothers, were
under the influence of alcohol when
brought to the county jail, accord-
ing to sheriff's deputies. They were
subjected to hours of questioning,
but: remained calm and collected,

whatever sources or motive the at-
tack came, they believed Lore, a
husky youth, gave the first re-
sistance and was shot down. The.
autopsy showed Wheatley's skullt
was fractured. The condition of
the girls' blood showed they had
been beaten.
Unitl recent weeks there had
been numerous reports of "petting
party bandits," committing petty
robberies among couples parked on
roads in the Detroit area, but no
instances of violence.
The bodies of the girls were so
terribly burned identification was
impossible and in making their ex-
amination the University patholog-
ists designated them only as "No.
1" and "No. 2".
Their report said the body of No.
1, which they described as wearing
a white stone pendant, showed co-
apulated blood, which would indi-
cate bruises caused by blows.
The body of No. 2, upon which
was found a string of green and
white glass beads, was shown to
have a hemorrhage of the brain.
Illitirate and Idle.
The Keene brothers are illiterate
and work only ocasionally; then
as laborers. Paul Keene told his
questioners Tuesday night he had
never attended school. He was quot-
ed as saying neither he nor his
brother could drive a car.
In their shack was found a quan-
