DEFINITE CHAIN
POINTS TO YOUTH
AS ARCH-FIEND
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.-The
links, which police claim, definitely
connected Edward Hickman with
the most abhorrent crime in the
history of this state are summariz-
ed as follows:
l. Fingerprints of Hickman com
pared with those found on death
threats and the murder ear are iden-
teal, police say.
.. Hickman formerly resided in
Kansas City, where the murder car
was stolen.
3. The youth WAS former mes.
scnscr in the ban, in which Perry
NJ IaIkcr, father of the murdered
child, is an assistant cashier, and
when Hickman was convicted of
forgery Parker objected to paroll-
ing him.
4. Miss Mary Holt teacher jn
the Mount Vernon high school, who
sent Marion Parker to her gruesome
death with the kidnaper, identified
photographs at police headquarters
today and without hesitation de-
clared "tilat is the man who took
Marion.
3. Detectives learned that the
address 251S Birch street. A;ham-
bra, which appeared on the death
threat kilograms sent the Parker
family, was an address only two
doors away from a house where
Hickman resided with his mother
and sister two years ago.

AWATORS FAIL
IN ATTEMPT TO
SET NEW RECORD
spirit of California" Is
Forced Down When Sup
ply of Fuel Gives Out.
BY United Press Leased Wire

MILLS FIELD, san FRANCIS
co, Dec. 20.-The valiant effort of
Captain Charles Kingsford-Smith
and Lieutenant George Pond to
wrest the world s endurance flight
record from two German aviators
failed today.
Exhaustion of their gasoline sup
PLY forced them to bring their Fox
ker monoplane, Spirit of California
to a landing at Mills Field airport
at 9:47 a. m.
The unofficial time of their flight
was 40 hours and 90 minutes, fall
ing two hours and SO minutes short
of the record set by Edzard and
Risticz, German aviators, last sum-
mer.
Kingsford- Smith and Pond, whose
efforts to break the record had met
with failure on three previous at
tempts, kept the plane in the air
today until practically the last drop
Of gasoline was drained from the
tanks and then coasted to land
ing.
To Try Again
Kingsford Smith and Pond an
nounced today another attempt
would be made to break the endur.
ance record.
The gasoline carrying capacity Of
the craft will be increased before
the next attempt is made, they said.
On the flight that ended today the
Spirit of California started with a
fuel supply of more than 400 gal
Ions of gas.
As the two airmen were taken
from the field to rest from the
strain of the flight, mechanics be-
gan overhauling the motors for the
new venture.
The two airmen would set no date
for the probable start of the flight.

LINDBERCH TO
TAKE OBRECON
FOR AIR RIDE
BY G.. F. FINE
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Dee. 20.-Colonel
Charles A. Lindbcrgh planned to
take former President Alvaro Obre-
gon, candidate for the Mexican pres
idency, for an air ride today or to-
morrow to promote aviation.
Promotion of aviation has been
one of the chief interests of all
Lndbergh s activities and yester,
day he revealed he had not ridden
in train or trolley since he left
San Diego last May on the most
epoch making flight in history.
For that reason the American fly
cr went to visit former President
Obregon by motor instead of by the
scheduled special train.
Lindbergh said he would fly part
way to Tampico in the Spirit of st.
Louis to meet his mother, who was
expected here late tomorrow or
Thursday on her flying trip from
Detroit, Mich, to spend the Christ
mas holidays with her son.

Burns Fatal to
Local Resident

Mrs. Guiana C. Llamas, 26, of FL
Centre died in the FL Centre hos
pital at 6 O. clock last night as re-
suit of burns suffered yesterday
morning when she was enveloped in
flames while pouring coal oil on a
fire at her home.
The flames set fire to her clothing
and she was badly burned from head
to foot. She had her child in her
arms at the time but managed to
shield it from the flames save for
one leg which was badly burned.
The woman's s clothing was practical
ly burned from her before she was
able to put it out with the assist
ance of neighbors who rushed to her
aid.
Mrs. Llamas was taken to the
hospital but her condition was re-
garded as critical at all times and
little hope was held for her recov-
cry.
The body was removed to Lemons >
undertaking parlors following her
death where an inquest was held
last night under the supervision of
Coroner p. E. Lemons. A verdict of
accidental death caused by burns
was returned by the coroner's jury.
The child is still in the hospital
being treated for the burns suffer
ed but is expected to recover.
The deceased beside the daughter
is survived by her husband Higuno.
Arrangements have been made to
hold the funeral at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning from the corner of
State and Second streets. Burial
will be in Evergreen cemetery.

CLIMATE SAYS
HICKMAN STUDIED
POISON EFFECTS
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 2O.-Wil-
liam Edward Hickman was obsesscd
with the idea of poisoning by con
cealing deadly drug in candy and
was intensely interested in anato-
rly and entomology.
This was the picture of the youth
wanted for the atrocious murder of
Marion Parker as drawn today by
4 cell mate of Hickman s during the
latter Jail confinement for check
forgery.
AT first Ed seemed just like a
nice boy. He always impressed me
aS being particularly clever" said
tie man who for month occupied
the same cell in the county jail with
the murder suspect.
He used to do lot of reading
on anatomy and entomology, the
man continued. "He told me he
liked to poison bugs to study their
reactions. But his obsession lay in
his idea of poisoning someone by
opnccaling drugs in "A piece of can
dy. He said he knew a way to dis
sipate these drugs after it had en-
tered the vital organs so il could

GREAT ARMY OF OFFICERS ON
SEARCH FOR EDWARD HICKMAN

:. relative secured him the position in
the bank at $15 a week. Later his
mother and 16-year-old sister joined
him here and they resided in AL.
hambra
Following his arrest his mother
Mrs. Eva NJ. Hickman and sister re-
turned to Kansas City. The records
also disclosed that Hickman was
born February l, 1910 in Logan
County, Arkansas, and that his
father w. F. Hickman, deserted the
family in Kansas CITY in 1920. The
records show young Hickman had a
fine record in high school.
Pictures taken at the time of his
arrest, are said to have been identi-
fled by five persons as "The Fox,
including the school teacher who
permitted the child to accompany
him last Thursday from the Mount
Vernon junior high school.
Was On Probation
Hickman is known to have left
Los Angeles following his probation
last August. Police believe that he
obtained the murder car, which was
stolen from Kansas City physician
in holdup, on this trip back east.
His last address in Los Angeles
was 1923 Burch street, Alhambra.
Police also link this fact with the
murder, it being pointed out that
most of the death threat letters and
kilograms were sent from Alhambra
and Pasadena.
The "slip,' upon which most
fiction crime is based, came ironic-
ally enough in a bizarre and vet
simple manner when detectives dis
covered the identity of the "Fox.'
A towel, bloody, bearing the
sewed inscription, "Bellevue Arms
Apartments gave investigators
the first clew to developments which
| led to Hickman Identification.
Early last night, records in the
Identification bureau at Central Po-
lice Station disclosed that single
thumb print, found on the towel,
was similar to Edward Hickman s,
forger, arrested in June and given
probation.
The most energetic activity of the
greatest manhunt the southwest has
ever known, then began.
Every sleeping officer was called.
Men poured into the detective bu-
reau by the hundreds, while photo
graphers in the bureau worked with
all possible speed to make prints of
the picture taken when Hickman
was first arrested.
Newspapers lent their darkrooms
and within 80 minutes of the time
Identification was established the
prints were being circulated to all
parts of California, while police
speed ears each carried picture.
More than 500 of the prints were
in circulation before daylight. Of
ficers were instructed to show every
resident on their beat the picture.
Excitement has cooled down to a
calculating, deadly purpose, and the
air of irritating nervousness which
hung over police headquarters for
three days is gone. Police know
who they are after and their grim
ness presages the certainty of cap
ture.

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 2O.-Colos-
sal confusion that held this city in
its grip today may. develop into
serious proportions unless Edward
Hickman, said by police to be alias
"The Fox aad the maniacal butch
;'r who slew Marion Parker is appre-
hcnded before Fanother "a hours.
Scenes never before depicted on
the streets of a great metropolis
were enacted here today with NOR
Did curiosity turned into fits OF
frenzy as throngs gathered to view
the arrests of some new suspect re-
sembling the 19-year-old ex-bank
messenger.
Throughout the day huge crowds
augmented by the Christmas shop
ping rush, which flowed into the
city to purchase Christmas cheer,
and stayed on to read newspaper
bulletin boards for fresh news of
the manhunt, overflowed the side
walks in the downtown district.
At one of the prlnelpal Intersec-
tions in the downtown financial dis
trict a near panic and riot resulted
when the word death" copied in
Greek letters and the same symbol
that appeared on "The Fox's"
death threats was discovered in the
middle of the street printed in
chalk.
Thousands milled around the spot
while police sought to disperse the
throng before serious injury result
ed. The symbol is believed to
have been the work of some prac-
teal joker and is thought to have
been done sometime last night.
Traffic Paralyzed
At another busy intersection,
where an arrest was being made
traffic became completely paralyzed
and it was with great difficulty
that a score of policemen saved
their suspect from the madly mill
ing crowds. Great difficulty was
experienced in getting patrol
wagon to the scene.
Meanwhile police speed cars,
their sirens screaming and brakes
grinding tore through the city, its
suburbs and all parts of Southern
California in mad pursuit of the
slightest clew.
And in the midst of hundreds of
rumors, conflicting reports and new
disclosures the entire county and
city peace officers, augmented by
state highway officers, joined in
the frantic manhunt for an ex-bank
messenger turned fiend according
to police.
A maze Of intricate and complex
details confronted weary-eyed po-
lice officials late today as the re-
