with Pearl for several hours that
night, before he saw Pearl going
out with her stepfather, and start

Pearl first said he was with
her until about 8 O'Clock. Then
she said he was not with her at
all. Detectives say they have
practically established that he
was not with her and they are

story that he and Schneider had

her stepfather-that Schneider
had stolen the minister's watch
and that they had both decided
to say nothing about their find.
Detectives and state troopers
