the attack on Mcbride occurred
Wednesday night. While they can
not trace his movements of Tues

would have been made by a heavier
machine. They are also confident
that robbery was the motive and are

will be well on the road to the
solution.
Mcbride was a knight OF colum-

The case parallels in many re-
spects a murder Of two years ago,
which still remains unsolved. The
latter case was the murder of a
young Italian who was found in .

twenty-six stab wounds. Like Nc
Bride. the young italian had been
brought to the spot where he was
found In an automobile and dragged
