Police Still Looking for Bandit.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Los Angeles, Dec. 23.-The theory
that Leslie Harris, the young attor-
ney who is in Jail here charged with
robbing the safe of Don Mcfarland
last Sunday, may be the San Fran
cisco bandit who recently terrorized
San Francisco, was exploded today
whe the police compared the descrip-
tion of the bandit sent by the author
tiles at San Francisco with that of
Harris.
After an investigation the police
here concluded that there is no pos
sibility of Harris being the bandit.
According to the description re-
ceived here the desperate is of slen-
der build and about five feet II in
ches in height. Harris is six feet
two and is heavily built. Harris was
in Los Angeles a week before he was
arrested here and during that time
the San Francisco bandit did aother
job.
Harris probably will pass Christ
mas in Jail as he has been unable to
secure the $4,000 bail necessary for
his release,
