Sheriff Hammel has a theory which
he does not wish to divulge until the
proper time that he believes will solve
the mystery In speaking of this theory
the sheriff said yesterday:
'I am working on solution, and the
deeper I go into it the better it looks,
and [ feel satisfied that at last we are
on the right track OF course this
theory cannot be made public, and we
are working with caution, and if we do

Elliott Again in Case
Attention again turned to Ben Elliott
vestepday, when Lee Stanchfield, city
mashal of Redondo, reported to Sherlit
Hamrnel that several witnesses in the
beach town were willing to testify that
Elliott rode bicycle When ne came 70
Redondo. 1t is alleged that bicycle
was stolen from a man in Glendale the
night of the murder and the owner OF
the wheel went to Redondo to Identify
it, The wheel was sold by youth who
answers Elliott's description, and If it
is shown to be the one stolen from Glen
dale the person who bought it will be
asked to visit Elliott to see if he can
identify the youth as the one who sold
him the bicycle.
Sheriff Hammel does not give much
credence to this story, the idea of
which is mainly to prove that Elliotts
account of his actions following the
murder were false. Elliott stated that
he rode into Redondo~ in a wagon. If
the bicycle proves to be the one stolen
from Glendale Elliott will probably be
arraigned on another charge of lar
ceny. Elliott's father has made resti-
tuition to all Glendale storekeepers who
were victims of his sons burglaries,
and no charge of any kind is pending
