While detectives we're indicating

leaving the mystery surrounding the
killing Of the girl still unsolved, much
interest attached to the shirt found

Every detective in Philadeaphia has
examined the shirt and noted the

pensive brand, and the town is now
being combed for dealers handling 1t,
in the hope Of tracing the purchaser.
