Zurber in the county jail, and Mr. Melchi and Mr. Durkin drove to the Fuhrman home. Mrs. Fuhrman and the two little girls came to the jail r.nd the girls were asked if this was the man who had attacked them. As soon as Myrtle, the older one, saw the man she declared that it was the right man. Agnes looked him over carefully and finally her eyes rested on his feet. She exclaimed." 1 know that's him because those are the same shoes he had on yesterday." Zurber's shoes were conspicuous on account of their size and shape, and because they were tan colored, Zurber laughed when the girls declared that he was their assailant and the girls exclaimed that they remembered the laugh. The automobile driven by Zurber was an old model Ford with four doors. The girls told their parents that they thought it was a Ford but they remembered that there were doors on both sides in front, and this fact led them to believe that the car was not a Ford. Mr. Melchi and Mr Engle went to the barn on the Don net farm last night and saw the car It had Michigan license plates and answered the description given by the girls. Robert Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs Charles Johnson, who was driving the car which frightened the man and caused him to abandon his actions with the girls Thursday morning, said that the license plates were from Michigan.
