The Taylor farm is one-third of a mile from the scene of the crime and the girl was alone on the road when Gunderman drove past her on his way to Averill Park. He was accompanied by Frank Smith, a feeble- witted farm hand, whose rather incoherent statements to the detectives yesterday led them to believe that he knew more about what had hap- pened to the girl than he cared to tell. Smith had told that he saw Hazel Drew alone on the road a quarter rom her uncle's farm and that he had spoken to her, Gun- derman had not come forward with any statement and was not found His story, however, corroborates all that Smith said, and fifteen miles from her home, on Tuesday night.
