Yesterday he attempted to break jail by attacking an attendant. The police finally concluded that his interest in the Parker home was only ~iha- pesy him go.’ "By fingerprint and photograph jdentification the police have deter- ‘mined that between the time of the idnaping and the climax of the case Hickman occupied an apartment under the name of Denald = Evans. ,ded by an identification mark found on a towel left with the body of the “slain child, police descended upon the apartment house Sunday. the duy aft- r the body.of the little girl ~was Aumped from the mysterious automo- bile. ‘According to the landlady, Mrs. Ethel Broderick, Hickman strolled by her in a hallway after the police had searched his poom. dropped a casual remark and left the building. He did not return. But officers returned to the ‘apartment yesterday. There they found the necktie which Hickman had worn while his picture .was taken for police identification last Summer, at the time of his arrest on forgery charges. It was that arrest _which resulted in his discharge from ‘the bank of which Parker is an offi- Jcer, and which is believed to have vided the vengeance motive which drove him to commit the crime. ‘Articles found in the apartment had come from Kansas City, the former home of Hickman. A crudely made pair of mittens was discovered. They were made of black oil cioth and the thread with which they had been stitched was said by officers to be the sgame as that with which little Marian’s evelids had been pierced.

C. Driskell, manager of the boarding house in Alhambra, a suburb, where Hickman lived for four months. “He went to church and Sunday school. He never stayved out late at night.
