Although giving little credence to the rumors, ‘investigators were rundown a report today that does square in any sense with the known facts in the case. That was rumor that Cpl.

Questioned Immediately

The arresting officers hurried him to headquarters where questioning was begun immediately. Meanwhile, elevator girls on duty at the Claypool on Saturday night were being: questioned to learn whether they remembered “pintsize” as a passenger on their cars before or after the murder. Claypool officials said they had no recollection of seeing such a man around the hotel. The entire staff of bellboys was to be questioned today and they may be asked to view the newest suspect.
