The Commissioner and Mr. Scull took with them Capt. Carey of the Homicide Squad, Lieut, Grant Will- jams of the Bureau of Missing Per- sons, Lieut. Taylor, his personal aide; several others who had been on pre- vious searches of the building, and John Lavelle, an employee of the Board of Education, who had the keys of the building. Commissioner Woods is aroused against the system of the Board of Education which permitted a man such as Webb to obtain employment in @ school where there were hun- dreds of little white children. Assistant Superintendent of Jant- tors J. 8 Bannon, explained that though Webb was an assistant to the janitor he was privately employed by Janitor Benzer, who is on a va- cation.

Catherine was still gagged then, and could not call out, She said she did not recog- nize our voices. Later, when she worked loose the knots which bounc her hands and then untied the gag, she climbed up to the shelf under the trap and waa able to get a glimpse up through the two broken light holes, “Until she could see Detective Tay- lor’s face she did not dare cry out when she heard a person moving above for fear the negro might come down and kill her.
