Mox Cloes Boing Followsd in| . Huat lor Kidnaper Flint, Mich., Jan. 14 (UP) — A lo aged man, believed to be a | maniac who has some slight knowl- . of surgery, was sought through- ogt the middlewest today as the mupderer of five year old Derothy Schnelder. Authorities felt certain the man had escaped ‘from Flint and sent an appeal throughout this section for offigials to be on the lookout for the man, The little girl was kidnaped Thurs- dny.as sie was en route home from scheol. Her body later was found in- @ river bed. Saw _Yhe little girl's mother was wait- ing on the front porch of the Schnei- dey home Thursday for the girl to return from school. S8he watched her daughter approach. Near the house a motor car drew ide. Dorothy, the girl got in, e motor car sped away. The mgther, alarmed, notified offi- cers. A search was started. A few hours later the mutilated body was diseovered in a creek bed, Doctors say incisioms on the body are such they probably were made only by a man with a knowledge of surgery, Description Tallies ®olice later learned that a man driving a motor car, similar to that used by the kidnaper, had sought aid from Archie Bacon in having the mator car pulled from a bog hole. The man was about 50 years old-and his description tallied with the mea- @ger details given by the mother, Bacon helped remove the motor car at a time after the kidnaping occurred, and authorities believe the body of the little girl might have been in the tonneau of the machine at that time. He was driving in the direction of the creek where the body was found. = Little Motive There was little motive for the kidnaping. The Schneider family is not wealthy and there was little chance that a kidnaping might ve- sult in any great ransom. Two men were arrested since the kidnaping but both have established pertect alibis and have been releas- Authorities have started raising a reward here for the capture of the girl's slayer. The crime has created such tremendous indignation that they believed today that a sizeable reward finally would be raised. N Intensive Man Hunt The man hunt has glmost equaled that made in Los Angeles for Wil- llam Edward Hickman. For nearly 36 hours every highway leading out of the city has been patrolled. All places in the city, where ft was thought likely the murderer might have hidden, were wsearched. Between 50 and 60 men were arrest- ed in thess raids, but none adequate- Iy fitted the description of the man being sought. ¥ The description the officers have is of a slightly stooped man of 50 yéara of age. He wore a fur coat and was driving a well used Dodge sedan. Two New Clues Two new clues were being traced today. One was that a man arrest- ed. near East Tawas rescmbled the alayer. He admitted heing in Flint the day of the kidnaping, authori- ties say. However, local authorities doubt, from the description given, that the man is the murderer, Authorities at Saginaw reported a man in & used sedan attracted con- siderable attention there yesterday by driving through the alleys rather than up and down the main thoro- fages. The driver of the motor car seemingly evaded everyone, the Sag- ingw reports say. Two boys obtained the license number of the motor car and’the lloense was issued to a Flint man, local police say. No 8§ Guard While public indignation is con- siderable, there have been no out- ward manifestations. No special | guard has been asked for the city | jail. g Mrs. Schneider today was some- what recovered from the first shock of the tragedy. She said Dorothy was in the habit of rcturning from school with several boys who live in the same neighborhood. The boys had not attended school the day Dorothy was kidnaped.

POLICEMAN'S GUN . TAKEN FROM HIM " (Continued from First Page) the eyes of a man deacribed as 28 or 29 years af age, about 5 ft. § or 10 inches in height, wearing & f1il- or's pea jacket and a grey fedora hat. Obeying the gunman, the offi- cer stepped out of the car and sub- mitted to a search. The gunman took the officer’'s pistol and then ordered him to start walking and to make no noise. In an instant, the gunman had disappeared. Out of Town Police Assist Questioned by Sergéant Feeney, Officer Kieffer sald the incident oc- curred about a minute before the Bergeant and Officer Brophy arrive ed. The searching squad, working feverishly in the hope that the gun- man might not have obtained suf- ficlent start to make a getaway, went through the lots cff the highway, but found no trace of anyone. Mean- while the Hartford police sent four men and the West Hartford pelice sent two, to watch- the highways and question all suspieious persons. ‘When the night patrol force re- ported off duty at 4 o'clock, Lieu- tenant Rival notified them of the heldup and asked for volunteers to work overtime on the case. Every man responded, and it was not until it was apparent that the seareh was futile, about § o’clock, that they-re- ported off duty, having worked four hours longer than their detall called for in some instances, and two hours in others. 8ergeant John C. 8tad- ler and Bergeant Feeney also re- mained on“duty and directed the search. Some of the officers were armed with riot guns and all were prepared for gunplay. Beforo going off duty, Officers Ed- ward Carroll and Willlam J. McCar- thy reported to Sergeant Stadler that they had found fresh footprints in the lots near Gillette's corner on West Hartford road, and they be- lieved the gunman had taken a route off the highway. The foot- prints led back towards New Britain. Plates Painted Over The Rockville police, on recelving word from New Britain that the -|markers on the car were registered in the name of Backhaus, took the latter into custody for questioning. Ho produced his touring car on which the markers remained, and proved that he knew nothing of the local incident. The local police, looking more closely at the markers on the Cadillac, found that they had been issued for a commercial vehicle but had been painted over. The background of commercial markers is white and the numbers blue, and in this instance, the background had been painted blue and the numbers white. The painting plainly discernible over the original enamel. Continuing the investigation into the matter of the markers, the police NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, r 2 loarned that commercial registration ilard of 119 West 40th street, New York and 311 1-¢ West Walnut street, New Haven, but had been cancelled as of January §, 1325. It Wwas apparent, the pelice say, that the markers had mot been turned in to the motor vehicle department, but had been used to replace the origin- al markers on the coupe. ‘When Chief W. C. Hart arrived at his office after having been notified by telephone of the holdup, he com- municated with the lecal agent for the Cadillac automohile, and Louis { Bablotsky was sent to the municipal garage to examine the coupe. As- sisted by Sergeant McAvay and Of- ficer Strolls, he opened the luggage carrier in the rear and found an electrical waxing machine, a paint brush and a small can of paint, byt in the trunk directly behind the driver's seat, he found a box of .32 bullets, a sailor's uniform hearing a second classc guoner's mate rating, 2 full dreas suit, and a registration certificate issued to Grace L. Long, 32 Lorraine street, Hartford, also = full set of the original markers of 1928 issue corresponding to the num. bers on the registration certificate, ang one other marker of 1938 issue. The engine numbers had: been tampered with, Mr. Bahlotaky found. The information relative to the registration certificate was sent to the Hartford police at once, and word came back that the car had been stolen in Hartford on January 6. Mr, Bablotaky told the police he felt certain he saw the car going at an excessive rate of speed through West Main street late yesterday aft- ernoon. Gas Station Entered That the gunman also broke into the Standard Oil Co. gasoline station next to the home af Officer Charles | McCarthy at 1208 Btanley street was | belteved by the police, and Sergeant. Feeney in his report sald that as he ‘was driving back to the police sta- tion to have Lieutenant Rival ascer- tain the identity of the owner of the coupe, he saw & man walking north on Stanley street, opposite the north 1ond of 8t. Mary's new cemetery. The The theqry is ‘that when the gun- man found the car was out of fuel, he drove it to the side of the road, and walked through Allen street to Stanley and probably broke into the gasoline atation, He is believed to have been returning to the car when Sergeant Feeney passed him. Chief Hart. threw himself into the investigation and the detective bu- signed to the case. Asked whether or not Offfcer Kieffer will be sus-| pended, the chief said he could not say definitely until he had 'gone further into the details. He will be obliged to explain the holdup to the committee on rules and discipline, the chief said. The officer was ap- pointed to the supernumerary force June 11, 1924, and was promoted to the regular force May 9, 1927, TWO DIVORCES GRANTED Millicent Moore Hamlin and Theresa Krops Anderson Awarded Decsees ot Scesion of Superior Court.
