Mich., Aug. 13--IU.R) -State authorities investigating the torch murders of two teen-age couples near Willis sought today n shabby stranger seen with the; couples in a Milan restaurant a few hours before their charred bodies w ere found on a countryroad. The man appeared as a new | figure in the murders when a Milan I restaurant attendant said he entered the eating house with the boys and girls at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. The five ordered sandwiches, and spent about half an hour in the place, he said. The man was described as al put: 30 years old, weighing about 160 pounds, five feet ten inches tall, round shouldered. He was wearing a shapeless cap and a ragged sweater.
