EXPECT ARREST
IN CASE SOON
Police are Busy Running Down Clues
in the Hazel Macklin
Mystery.

4 United Press Leased Wire Service. J
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 29.-The
hunt for the aslayer Of Hazel Mackiin,
the Is year old girl whose nearly nude
body was found strangled in a desert
ed park. here, narrowed TODAY and an
arrest was promised soon by the, po-
lice. The two most important discov-
esries were that man is known who
makes a practice of answering adver-
tisements inserted by girls and the
finding of Hazels suit case near Elk
mart.
Captain of Detectives Keusport re-
turned today from Wfnnemac, mo.
where he went to interview farmer
on tip contained in an anonymous
letter mailed at Chicago, in which
the writer declared the farmer knew
something of the murder. Kuesport
was convinced that the police had
been made victim Of a hoax and
said he was positive the farmer knew
nothing Of the crime.
A report was made to the police
this afternoon that on the day follow
ing the disappearance of Hazel Mack
line, stranger left an automobile at
garage in New Carlisle. Indiana,
twelve miles from South Bend. The
car was repaired but the man never
returned for it. The police obtained
description Of the man, but declared
it did not tally with the description
Of the man who attacked Mary Fol-
dasi in an auto : few DAYS before the
Macklin girl was murdered.
The search shifted to Benton Har-
Dor. Mich, today where Police CHIEF
Kerr. who is in Chicago, sent datec-
tives to find Levi Petro. Automobile
license No $685. was issued to Petro.
An auto bearing this number was
found abandoned near New Carlisle

years behind the filings and losing
ground. The enemy was over-running
the line at many points. Then the
court took on some active and ag-
gressive men and up to the time of
the division of the court 1t was gaining
just about one month a year and had
been doing it for years. Now the
cases are submitted that have been
filed eight or nine months back That
is close enough.
The very shortest time that law
yer can force his appeal to a hearing
is seven months. If the opposing law
yer is taking all the time he is en-
titled to for his preparation of papers.
Generally longer time than seven
months is needed to get all the papers
ready.
At the last submission OF cases,
this month, over 40 per cent of the
cases were continued. That is be-
cause they were not ready. The law
yers are even farther behind than the
court, or rather lawyers are not anx-
ious to work right up to their opror-
tunities and will delay many of the
eases for one reason or another.
The division of the court now in OPP
grafton for nearly a year and half
has been working out well. The law
yers say that their cases are better
considered and they have better
chance at presenting their arguments.
