HUNT THIEF AS HIT-RUN KILLER Police Find Stolen Car; Sure It Was One That Struck Woman. Believing they have found the automobile which struck and killed Mrs. Eva McGill, 80, of 231 N. Beville-av, .police today redoubled their efforts to find the driver, apparently a car thief. Because its crank slot cover was missing, and radiator and fende/s dented, police were convinced that the car recovered yesterday in the 1900 block Commerce-av was the one involved in the accident. Mrs. McGill was struck Tuesday night at Beville-av and New Yorkst while walking to church. The driver made no attempt to stop, witnesses reported. The recovered automobile is the property of Lee Campbell, 1839 N. Meridian-st, who had reported it stolen some time before. Police said the thief evidently was driving the car when the accident occurred, since Mr. Campbell had witnesses to prove he was not in the vehicle at that time. Funeral services for Mrs. McGill are to be held at 2 tomorrow' aftternoon in the Harry W. Moore Funeral Home.' 2050 E. Michigan-st. The Rev. Joseph N. Greene, E. Tenth Street M. E.
