GRILL
Suspect In "Cirl Bandit Case
Maintains Denial of Any
Part in Killing.
BY International News Service.

CHICAGO, June 22.--Fred Thomp-
son. the sex masquerader suspected
OF killing Richard G. Tesner in q
hold up, was still mistaken today
In his denials that he knows any.
thing of the murder which, accord
ing to Tesnner's widow, was commit
ted by a smiling girl bandit. Frank
Carrick, with whom Thompson lived
for fourteen years as wife" 10 in
the psychopathic hospital following
a mental break down as the result
of being deprived of the drugs to
which both he and Thompson are
addicted.
81, place little credence in a
confession made by Carrick, a
rambling admission that the things
the police had been asking him
about for hours was true. When told
Thompson merely sneered and said
they had better get q doctor for
his man. The man who posed a. q
girl and d wife has surprised the
police by his failure to collapse
under the strain Of four days OF
Questioning, unstimulated by either
drugs or liquor. For the first time
since his arrest he was undisturbed
today, held in e. cell at an outlying
station and permitted to repair the
ravages of his make up, while the
police centered their efforts upon
his legal wife, Marie Clark, - she
is known in the strange triangle.
1t was under this name that she
was married to Thompson. although
she was born Marie Kosakowska,
of Polish parents, in Michigan, twen-
ty-fhree years ago. When she came
to Chicago at an early age she took
the name of Clark. She met Thomp-
son as woman but was told BY q
mutual friend that he was man.
They were married, fled to farm
to escape the angry HUSBAND" Car
rick, but were discovered and a
series Of jealous quarrels was finally
patched by all of them living to-
gether.
Police said today that IL efforts TO
indict Thompson for the Tesmer
murder fail he and Carrick viii be
turned over the Federal Government
as draft evaders, Carrick having
obtained exemption because of his

LONDON. June 22.-Foreign Of.
flee officials admitted today that
they did not question the authority
OF American Government attaches
to remove official British customs

upon British liners entering United

I'VE do not question the right OF
United States to break British Gus

action If the seals are broken" it
was stated at the foreign office.
This statement was called forth
by the fact that the Cunard liner
Berengaria sailed for New York
with beverage liquor for the re-
turn voyage sealed up by the Brit
lsh customs authorities. 1t was to
be the first formal test Of the
American dry ship edict that beVer.
age liquors could not be taken into
