Rumors of moba forming and lynching parties flew thick and fast thruout the night. Twice mysterious automobile parties were reported | driving around the block in which the jail waa located and one of these parties hailed a group of newspaper | men with the admonition that “you are spoiling the game.” Hightower, it was believed, was not aware of the anxiety over his safety. A San Franciseo newspaper today published an affidavit alleged to have been mdde by “Dorothy | Gifford,” claiming she might be the} “Dolly Mason” of much mystery in the Hightower cane. The affidavit was a fat dens of Hightower’s story of “Dolly” telling him that a drunken foreigner had mumbled to her a recital of how he killed a man and buried him with a “man always frying pancakes” standing guard, In the affidavit Mrs. Gifford de- nies ever having seen Hightower and expressed amazement that he ever heard of her or ever recognized her picture, The woman has not yet seen High- tower and detectives were frankly | doubtful whether she were the right | “Dolly Maron.” They still were in clined to the belief that Dolly Mason was an invention of Hightower's | and it was a coincidence that Mra.
