AUTO WHICH CARRIED
KIDNAPPED OFFICER FOUND
Blood Stains on Seat Support Theor,
That PatroIman Was
Murdered,

Minneapolis, April 26.-The automo
bile in which Patrolman George Con
merry was kidnapped Tuesday Afternoon
on University avenue, has been found
A drisd-up stream of blood discovered
on the rear seat Of the machine has
confirmed the fears of fellow police thai
Connery has been the victim Of foul
play and probably murdered. The
crank of the machine, also with
a blood splotch on it, was found lying
on the floor Of the car.
The auto was found in St. Paul. The
numbers had been removed and it was
some time before the police identified
it as the machine in which Connery
disappeared.
Delay in Identification of the ma.
chine is said to have been due to the
fact that it first was reported to have
been a Ford. It is a Studebaker. II
was stolen Tuesday from Miss Mary
Lisance Of La Crosse, Wis.
Police of the Twin Cities will at

Connery's body. Mud and grass on
the wheels of the machine led to a
belief that the body may have been
hidden in woods near the Twin Cities.
Other theories are that 1t was throws
