According TO the tax returns OF
the munitions manufacturers. the
government was entitled 10 s2s. 300
600. Close scrutiny OF their books
by treasury field agents showed
that the correct figure was $4,000
600. a discrepancy OF approximately
81 .Oo0. 600
The investigation resulted In dis
closing greatly increased profits.
after the unduly large sums for
plant depreciation we're reduced.

Detectives. Sheriff Stringer and
investigators from the coroners
office had been baffled. until We'd
nesday's discovery. as 10 how the
murderer had taken his victim $
life.
Find Auto Tracks
Another important discovery was
made late Tuesday when investi.
gators found the tracks Of a small
automobile. which probably con.
veyed the girls body to the spot
whore II was hidden.
The auto had gone TO a point
within 100 Yards of the body's final
resting place, and had turned
around there.
II is now believed that tNe victim
was murdered and then taken by
automobile out TO the open ooun-
try north OF the city.
Body Concealed With Care
A deserted road was followed aft
er turning from the highway. and
the body evidently carried 10 feet
from a path leading from the road.
There the body was apparently
dragged and hidden. and boughs
broken down TO conceal the re-
mains.
Discovery Of the automobile
tracks rewarded careful survey OF
the spot where the murdered girl
was found. Capt. Tennant. Sheriff
Stringer. Koepfli. detectives and
deputy sheriffs spent most OF their
time Tuesday combing the lonely
prairie land for clues.
McGlnn Visits Spot
Later In the day Pat McGinn. the
39-year-old shingleweayer, was TAX

He stuck tenaciously to the story
that he had delivered Ruth to the
porch OF her rooming house early
Sunday morning. September 2, after
an all.night dance in Ballard, and
that she opened the door and went
in.
"Then walked away" says Nc
CHM.
No one has been found who ever
saw her after that.
