terry the police have been unable to
solve. It is believed the murder oc-
CURED last Saturday morning. Hook
man had a houseboat anchored at q
point near where the body was found,
it Is stated.
According to Edward Sutherland's
report to the police, Hockman came
to Quantfco Sunday morning and an
nounced that Walter Sutherland had
been killed, and that his body was
anchored at the point near where it
subsequently was found.
Owing to the fact that the dead man
frequently absented himself from his
home. no special attention was paid
to the report. When Hickman started
to move his houseboat away yester-
day an investigation was begun which
resulted in the finding of the dead
man.
A coroner's jury summoned by the
Prince William county authorities to-
day is holding an inquest over the
body.
The police today received a telegram
from Quantico signed "W. E. Lloyd
asking that Hickman be held. 1t
stated he was travelling in house,
boat or by rail. The man wanted is
described as Weighing 220 pounds,
forty-five years old and two fingers
missing from one hand.
