SCHEM|NG PRESS
AGENT DESIGNS
FANCY "CRIME"
Chevy Chase Barn Mystery"
Solved by Theater Ad After
, Cops Work vainly.

Designing press agents have in
vaded Washington, but with little
success.
Writing letters to the police and
newspapers telling q wierd tale Of
mystery, bIoodshed and sobs, the
press agent began his work last
week. He told the police that in an
old barn in Chevy Chase could be
found the body of twenty-year-old
girl. the body cut In two parts.
Murder probably. the letter said.
Immediately q search began. Po-
lice and detectives visited all barns
m Chevy Chase. Finally, with no
success, the search was given up. 1t
was decided the letters were hoax.
And today comes an announcement
that at one of the theaters here
next week wonderful surgical op-
Grafton win be performed. A woman
will be cut in two parts with an ordi-
nary hack saw, the advertisement
states, which no doubt accounts for
the letters. 90 rE
