Spoke to Girl on Bridoe.

However, two people who spoke to
the girl on the bridge have been
found. They are Thomas Summers
and George Bricker, who live near
Hamilton. Both of these men saw
her standing near her car, and asked
her If she was having any trouble.
She replied that she was not having
trouble now, but that she had had
little engine trouble. She was stand
ing on the bridge highway near her
car at the time.
1t is possible that detectives may
be employed on the case in the effort
to locate the girl in case she has
been kidnapped, or in a Respondent
mood wandered away some place.
