CLUE COMES FROM
WHITE PINE, Tenn.
License Number Of Miss El-
la Kelly's Car Found On
A Stutz Runabout

Information given in a telegram re-
ceived this morning by Chief of Po-
lice Parker from the Chief Of Police
at White Pine, Tenn, was for time
the foundation for belief that the
Chevrolet touring car Of Miss Ella
Kelly, reported stolen on Friday,
April 8, had been located. Later in
formation tended to establish moth.
ing more certain than that the license
number of the Kelly car is at White
Pine. Tenn.
The message received by Chief Par
ker informed him that the White Pine
authorities had car on which was
the Ohio license number 1852, the
number Of Miss Kelly's car but diff
ferent engine number, and that they
were holding man who gave his
name as Walter Johnson.
Chief Parker sent a telegram to the
White Pine chief of police giving a
description of the Kelly Chevrolet
and asking if it correspondent with
that of the car held in White Pine.
This afternoon ChiefParker received
a reply to his telegram stating that
the car at White Pine with the num-
Der of Miss Kellys license on it is
a Stutz runabout. This seems to es-
tablish the fact that the missing car
| has not been located and that it has
figured in trade or an exchange
whereby the Ohio license number
plate of Miss Kelly's car was trans
| ferred to Stutz runabout.
Suspicion has attached to two
young men who formerly were in the
employ Of Miss Kelly and who dis
appeared simultaneously with the re.
port Of the theft of the car. They
had knowledge where Miss Kelly was
accustomed to keep the key to the
barn in which she kept her car. When
the theft was discovered the key was
found in the lock.
This information and suspicious
were given to Chief Parker, who
learned that at least one of the pair
was from White Pine, Tenn He wrote
to the authorities at White Pine Civ
ing information of the theft and re-
| questing cooperation should the Kelly
car be found there snspecting that
sooner or later the men would return
to White Pine.
1t is the purpose of Miss Kelly to
go to White Pine, Tenn, tonight with
purpose of Identifying the suspect
and learning, if possible, what dis.
position has been made of her car. At
first it was deemed certain that Miss
| Kelly's car had been recovered but
the difference in engine numbers caus-
ed Chief Parker to make further in.
quiry that tends now to establish the
fact that the Chevrolet still is missing
and that only the license number plate
has been found. 1t may be diff
cult Ratter to trace the Chevrolet
car, particularly if the suspect now
being held at White Pine refuses to
give any information how he came in
possession of Miss Kelly's number.
