POLICE ASSA|LED
IN MURDER CASE
Typewriter on Which "Con-
feSsion" Was Written Is
Sought in County.

Smarting under the open criticism
of the community on account of their
failure to apprehend the murderer of
Edward l.. Mills, 46, prosperous dairy
man of Hunting Hill. Nd. at dawn
yesterday morning, the Montgomery
County police today redoubled their
efforts, centering their attention on
the sensational confession which was
calmly pinned to the dead mans coat
after the murderer had instantly shot
him dead with five bullets.
Early this morning States Attorney
Robert 3. Peter. jr.. sent the CON
fession" to Washington in the hope
that Fred Sandburg. the Capital s
fingerprint expert. would be able to
get some fingerprints which would
aid them in their search.
Typewriter is Sought.
This confession" evidently was in
tended for the dead mans signature,
and his refusal to sign is believed to
have been the motive for the murder.
The confession having the appear
ance of bein,, written on small type
writer not generally used for COM
mercial purposes caused the authorl-
ties to concentrate their search this
morning at all houses in the commu-
nifty which might hold such machine.
Ridiculing the possibility that useful
fingerprints could be obtained after
the confession" had passed through
more than a score of interested hands,
some neighbors of the Mills family
severely upbraided the authorities for
their handling of the case.
HeZikiah Mills, brother of the dead
man, today declared that he had plead
ed with the authorities yesterday to
obtain bloodhounds from Occoquan
shortly after the body was found. He
said that if this had been done he feels
confident that the murderer now
would be in the Rockville County jail
Widow Denounces Police.
With tears coursing down her
cheeks, the widow of the dead man
today voiced similar sentiments over
the f->lure of the authorities ito catch
the rascal who has ruined my life."
1t was rumored today that the
authorities this afternoon will visit the
home of a young man who has
young wife and baby and question
