Si, U/vKT—Ld Wmtehead. who entered the iunswurin hospital ivionuay, Marcn 3, is “improv ing." thief Murdered; Search tor Slayer (Continued from page 1) the five witnesses generally a greed that Calkins was interest ed m a ladies’ vanity case. The vanity had been reported missing about 8 o'clock that night by Dolores Dobrovolny. a telephone operator. The vanity and about $30 found in a purse had been taken from a car park ed on South Fourth street near the Odd Fellows building. The trunk lid on the sedan was raised and none of five per sons read the license plate. Mrs. Mary Fleming, a waitress, told authorities she had been parked in a car in an alley be tween Third and Fourth streets (behind the Western hotel). She saw the Calkins car move from west to east through the alley. It emerged onto Fourth street (near the Gillespie store), probably turned right (south), turned right again on Everett street (at the Dr. L. A. Carter corner), and proceeded west ward. After reenacting the circum stances and positions of the au tos Saturday afternoon, authori ties are convinced that Calkins spotted the darkened Kaiser parked on an angle, facing northwest, near the Carter ga rage, on the alley between Third and Fourth streets. The Calkins car, meanwhile, made a “boot leg’’ 360-degree turn in the west half of the block, pulled over to the wrong side of the road and stopped near the Kaiser. Mrs. Fleming said it was iusl a lew momems aner ine cruis er had passsd her car in ihe alley ihal sne saw Ihe red po lice signal Hash and draw to a siop. By lhal lime Ihe cruiser car had lime lo turn around and head east. The investigation of the Kai ser and the vanity case followed. It was during this investigation that Mrs. Fleming and a inend. llarry Wayman, drove past and saw a man with Calkins. Other passersby included three Ewing youths, Richard bpittler. 2U. a Creighton university student home for the weekend. LeRoy Boies, 20, and Bill Sisson. The young men had been in O’Neill for the basketball tournament and had not hurried home. All five witnesses agreed that the man in question was about 5 feet 10 inches in height, weigh ed about 150 pounds, wore a light topcoat and was hatless— probably on the light complex loned side. What happened between the trunk investigation and the slav ing has not yet been determined. Several inches of fresh snow early F’riday destroyed evidence of footprints and tracks. Author ities, however, did conduct an immediate investigation of the area before the snowfall began. Investigators were satisfied there was no skirmish because the chief’s clothes were neat. There were no shell casings to be found inside or outside the car suggesting a revolver was used, not an automatic. It was not immediately deter mined the calibre of bullets Originally it was thought the shot was .22 calibre. Later, fol lowing an autopsy during which three bullets were recovered, the officials believed a .32 calibre had been used, possibly a .38. They further reasoned it was an old, seldom used weapon by the bore marks on the bullets. One of the recovered bullets was forwarded to a ballistics ex pert for analysis. The F’ederal Bureau of Investi gation is not active in the case, except for technical advice, and will not be called in unless it can be established the sought car bore an out-of-state license plate or the slayer fled across the state line in a stolen automo bile. By late Saturday night more than a hundred persons had been questioned — voluntarily or otherwise—as investigators appeared to be running into a stonewall. “At first some persons sort of resented our inquiries.” said Lt. Harry Brt. of Norfolk, head of the Norfolk office of the Nebras ka safety patrol. “We talked to many owners of cars correspond ing to the vehicle in which we were interested and we talked to owners of weapons similar to that used. “People, generally, have been very cooperative." Brt said. Late Friday the investigators made a trio to Bassett and Ains worth to quiz people. Holt au thorities were working in close contact with county and munici pal authorities at Neligh, Butte. Bassett and Ainsworth. At least 20 county sheriffs volunteered services and told Sheriff Tom jack they were active on the case.. i Throughout the midwest a '! searcn was on lor tne iiaiser se dan ana lor a man answering to tne aescripuon oi tne man last seen won canons. noli Attorney cnlfin is ap peaimg to anyone wno can sup ply miormauon concerning a man wiui a ladies’ vanity or suitcase seen on me streets ear- !
