HAD HEAVY SUSPECT
Carver Police Arrested 3oo-P Pound Man
as Bader Murderer.

Activity has been renewed in the
Bader, and detectives are. again busy
running down clues furnished by per-
sosls anxious for the 81, 200 reward.
The chief of police of Carver, Mimi,
who has figured in prominent arrests
before, telephoned that he had two sus-
poets, but when the detectives went
to make an Identification, they found
that one of the men locked UP weighed
about 800 pounds. They bore no re-
semblance to the men wanted and the
big bunch of money will probably not
go to Carver.
Other clues have been run down with
the same result, and it has been several
days since the police have received a
tip that really looked good.
