MYSTERY IN GIRL’S DEATH

Man Who Saw Blayer Says Suspect Isn’t the Murderer. San Francisco, July 2,—The declaration of J. F. Higgins, who says he saw the slayer of Caroline Brasch, the girl cashier who was mysteriously murdered in her office, that J. Novak, the Roumanian arrested as a suspect, in no way resembles the man he saw, has deepened the mystery surrounding the case. The police adhere to the theory that Novak, a laborer, killed the young woman because his pay check was $5 short.
