The woman held was arrest
ed with a man early today
when police found footprints q
blood inside their home. Neigh
bors had told police that an au-
tomobile dashed from the alley
back of the house at hours
roughly coinciding with times
when "the Fox" was known to
have been cruising the streets.
The man was released, however,
and the woman was only charged
with drunkenness so she could be
held q little longer.
Later police revealed that the
woman had been wandering near
the place the cfildS mutilated
body was returned to the father.
She was shouting II didn't kill her,
they did it," it was said.
Shortly before midnight a sneer-
ing, threatening note signed "The
Fox" was laid atop fire alarm
box In Hollywood and the alarm
sounded. The note was addressed
to Perry Parker, bank executive and
father of the girls, to whom Ma
rion's mutilated body was thrown
after he had paid ransom OF $1,5OO.
The note said Marion's sister,
Marjorie, would be found missing
at IL o'clock.
The note, in the same handwrit-
ing as those received prior to the
murder of Marion, promised a SIM
liar fate to Marjorie and in addi-
ton to the signature, "The Fox,
the envelope in which 1t was found
was marked with the word Death"
in Greek letters, as the others had
been.
Strong Guard Around Home
'For the trouble you have caused,
Marjorie Parker will be the next
victim" the note, which firemen
found when they answered the
alarm to the box, read: Nothing
can stop the fox and those who try
will know the penalty"
"If you warn any one OF this sec
ond success, it will mean your neck" T"
The missive which police, believe
without q doubt was written by the
maniac who multilated Marion, con-
tinued:
"Try and get me. I am The Fox.
You shall never know the rest OF
this first success. You will miss
Marjorie at IL o'clock"
The police guard around the
Parker home Immediately was in
creased. AS the murderer failed TO
specify the date on which he In
tends to carry out his new threat,
the guard will be maintained until
all danger is passed.
Three Persons In Killing
Three persons. police believed,
were involved in the kidnapping and
murder of Marian-sthe Fox" a
woman and a middle-aged man.
But the search centered on the
young, debonair man Of dark COM
plexion who kidnapped Marian from
her school Thursday and who ap-
parently was responsible for the
telephone calls and letters which
goaded the frantic parents OF the
girl.
So far as police could learn,
there was no incentive for the muir
der Of the girl except a lust for
blood.
The letters from '"The Fox" from
the first one received Friday to the
last, which was delivered by means
Of a fire alarm late last night, IN
dicated the extreme cunning OF q
paranoiac, police said.
They showed education and cul-
ture. Greek letters and rathe-
matical symbols were used in them,
and they were cIeverly calculated to
add little by little to the frenzy OF
the parents.
Methods Are Simple
The methods of the kidnaper were
haf11ingly simple.
He abducted Marian by going to
her school and telling her teacher
the girls father had been injured In
an automobile accident. The teacher
