KATE MYSTERY
STILL UNSOLVED,
WATCH FOR PAIR
Hy United Press Leased wire

Los ANGELES, Nov. 10 TIL,
diamond broker and man of man,
friends but few intimates, TO-DAY
approached the realm of unsolvet
mysteries as clews by which it was
hoped to apprehend the slayer prov
ed fruitIess.
With the release of Hal Hail, lat
est suspect to be arrested in con
nection with the case, detectives
admitted they have little left tt
work on. Every possible angle OF
Katz' unusual life has been sifted
and the murderer is still unknown.
just at nightfall last Monday
Katz was called to the door of his
richly furnished quarters in the
Ambassador apartments, which he
owned, and shot to death by n
ruddy facedo gunman, who fled
and made good his escape.
The possibility of love triangle
has been abandoned. Katz, quiet,
refined, musician and brilliant
conversationalist, had many women
friends, but they were no more than
that, detectives are convinced.
Miss Dorothy Carroll, weeping in
her apartment, was the one to
whom katz was really devoted, she
said.
The one theory upon which the
police are basing further hopes of
apprehending the slayer is black
mail. A "big red haired man. and
q "pretty 10 year old blackmailer"
were forcing him to pay heavy tri-
butte, according to II. +. Glazer,
claim adjuster for an automobile
club, who knew Katz Intimately.
+" Katz tried to slip away from
these two year ago. Glazer told
police. Later he said they had
found him again.
The couple, police believe, slip
ped from the city yesterday and
headed for San Diego and the Mex
lean border. Police of the southern
city were asked to watch for them.
Both the cred haired manv and
the girl have police records here
and are known to San Diego autho-
rites, detectives stated.
Additional safety deposit boxes
held by Katz in downtown banks
were to be opened today. One was
broken into yesterday and dia-
monds valued at $4,000 found there
in. Papers were also discovered,
the contents of which detectives
did not reveal.

Petrified Logs
Are Discovered
at Torrey Pines

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Nov. 10
Fortified logs Of ancient yellow pine
have been found near Torrey Pines
park here. Scientists claim the fos-
sils are remnants of preglacial Tor
rey pines and may lead to other
scientific discoveries.
The Torrey pine, found only here
and on Santa Rosa Island, is be-
hered a descendant Of primitive
yellow pines pushed down by the
lee cap of the glacial era.
some of the fossil logs are as
large rs lS inches in diameter and
three feet long. They were discov-
cred accidentally. Excavation Of
the site will be carried on with the
hope Of discovering fossil remains of
plants or animals, in addition to
other fossil logs that are known to
be buried.
Tho logs are in n fine state of
preservation, with the grain and
the annual rings distinct.
