Joseph c. Grew. charge d'affaires Of

Didn't Want Notoriety.

The stranger was taken to 18th and
Ii streets northeast where he boarded
car and returned to Maryland. He said
he hoped he would be given no unpleas-
ant notoriety because Of his reported
resemblance to Schultz.
Constable Garrison's message from
Hyattsville was followed by Detectives
Weldon and Burlingame being sent to
Prince Georges county to make an in
vestigaton. The information the con-
stable gave Acting Chief Of Detectives
Evans was that a Mr.. Wisenan. clerk
in store at College Park. was driving
along the road near Riverdale yester-
day afternoon when a young man came
from the bushes and asked that he be
given IL ride.
His request was granted, Garrison
told Detective Evans, and when the
stranger had left the wagon at Col
lege Park a young woman said that he
resembled likenesses she had seen of
Schultz. Her description OF the man
in the wagon, the police say. indicated
him to be man much younger than
Schultz, and while the police have no
idea the man really is Schultz. it was
deemed advisable to have an investiga-
