 ADDICTS IN MURDER

Evidence that narcotic users kid mapped the boy at the behest of 8 well informed principal had been in the hands of authorities, several days, it | was learned.
 According 10 states attorney Grove, the investigators expect to find some user of drugs sufficiently well ac- quainted with the movements Of the Franks family to have Contrived a Kidnapping plot and engage some one else to carry out the. plan.
 The killing was an accident" the states attorney said, and everything that followed was undertaken to cover the accident Drugs will be found at the bottom of it alI."
 An account of what ho believed was the midnight disposal of the boys body, given 10 the police yesterday by John H. Shackleford. Gary, Ind, railway switchman, caused police to search for a green sedan in addition to the gray touring car sought since the boys disappearance. Shackel- ford said he saw the green car last Wednesday night near where the body was found. One of three men in it carried a bundle. which he thought may have been the body, into the swamp and returned without it. A woman drove the car, he said,
 Shackelford was unable to ide1tify two instructors of a private school attended by the boy, who have been held since the staying, Hearings on petitions Of habeas corpus for their release were continued yesterday to today, although their attorneys main tained both have given authorities all the information they possess.
