Make Next Move in Solu-
ton of Case.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Los ANGELES, Jan. 29.-Developments
coming thick and fast in the kidnapping
OF Mrs. Gladys Witherell to-day bid fair
to clear away the clouds OF mystery
surrounding the case. according to the
announcement of police and private de-
tectives
Prominent among these is the under
standing that the wife will be returned
to her family early next week. the be-
lief that the gangsters will communicate
with the family by nightfali, and the
fact that man under surveillance In
the case was killed while being trailoi
by detectives when his automobile
crashed into Los Angeles street ear
at Grand avenue and West Thirty-ninth
street.
The most sensational development was
the crash when the automobile driven
by/Charles Beverly of Jovita Hotel ran
into Il Grand avenue street car Bev-
erly. who Ormerly was a business as
sociate OF Witherill, was killed, as was
Mrs. Mira Westrem Tenney Wither-
elps stenographer. Harry Glazier and
Miss Mary Worthenberg, other occu-
pants of the car, were seriously in
5ured. They were taken to the county
hospital.
A few minutes before the crash the
machine was being followed by an auto
mobile loaded with private detectives
led by Juan Fuentes. X l.. Mortenson
and A. r. Bacon. Beverly had been
under surveillance of the officers since
the kidnapping of the woman and twice
was questioned by the police and pri-
vate detectives. Believing he had knowl-
edge of the case the officers kept him
constantly under watch.
prayfoIia tn the aiitOmobile and street
car accident the party of four had spent
the evening at the Vernon Country
Club. The detectives had followed them
until the car. driven by Beverly, outdis
