has Investigated automobiles and Is sat
isfied that a ratlsfuctory car oould be
purchased for $'900. "It is too much to
pay for a car," said Mi 'Klsnsser. "1
am Informed that for practical purposes
an $s00 car Is good enough. For Joy rid
ing a higher priced car might be neces
sary. We passed a resolution a long time

The robbery theory is given strength
In tho fart that three days ago Ix-ppln

The suicide theory is given some
strength by the fact that a few days ago
