SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 4, (UP)— M, K. Garrison, railroad employe, was held today by police who declared they were not satisfied with his explanation of his visit late Saturday night with Hazel Bradshaw, 22 year old telephone operator who was found stubbed to death. Conflicting storie- of a taxicab driver and a street car conductor, •oupled with Guirison's asserted inability t * explain what happed to a blown suit it was said he wore, caused police to predict they were near a solution of San Diego’s fourth murder mystery in seven weeks. Miss Brad-haw’s body was found behind a wall in the Indian village at Hallma park with II knife wounds on hd body, six of them in the regi >n of her heart. Gairison took her to a picture show Saturday night after they left work at railroad offices where both were employed. Shortly liefnre midnight, Garrison -aid, he and Miss Bradshaw walked to her home through a little valley that passes the Indian village, now used as a Boy Scout camp. He ki sed her good night at her duor.xtep, he said, and went home. Miss Bradshaw never entered her borne, relatives said. Corroborating Garrison’s story was the statement of J. M. Hughes, street •ar conductor, who said Garrison wai pa senger on his car shortly uf'er midnight. Police were ready to accept this Tory when H. J. Collins, a taxi driver, 'dentified Garrison as a man he took to the FI Centro apartments, where Garrison lives, at 2 a. m. Sunday. With Garrison was a girl, Collins added. He believed she was Miss Bradshaw. Gairison was slightly intoxicated, be said, and carried a package which lesembled a bottle. Not far from Miss Bradshaw’s Imdy the remains of a quart bottle of wine was found. Police were told by Garrison’s landlady that when he left his apartment Saturday he was wearing a daik brown suit to work. Police said they learned Garris >n made a trip to the commis-ury of the railroad at 7 a. m. Sunday. The window of this office opens onto San Diego bay. Authorities contended it was possible to toss a suit and knife into the bay from that window.

Then the Financial Secretary and the Chairman of the canvass took places at each end of the Communion table. While the congregation joined in singing “Take My Life And Let It Be”, the entire congregation, the pastor loading the procession, filed past the altar and handed in their pledges. Visitors were asked to join with the congregation so far as renewing their consecration. Those who participated considered it a really spiritual servile. Then the Pledge cards were counted, it was found that approximately one-third of the resident membership had been present and signed pledges for the next year. Several others who found it impossible to be present had indicated their wish to sign a pledge without solicitation. More pledges were voluntarily given in the .-ervice yesterday morning than were secured through solicitation one year ago. Leaders in the work feel that this service was a great success and marks a step forward in the history of the Church. Those who were unable to tie in, the service yesterday morning will Is* visited hy a Committee. Mrs. Rus-ell Welch has served as the efficient Chairman of the Canvass, and has had splendid help' from the members in the preliminary and promotional work. At the Communion Service, just following the pledge service, four new members, received by baptism, were giver the Hand of Christian Fellowship, and two new Deacons, Donald Davidson and Walter Gardner, were welcomed into the duties and fellowship ul' the Board of Deacons.
