Murder House Sought
Meanwhile, "June Dunning' and
ANDREW Cramer', aecomplieeS
named by Hickman in his confession
of kidnapping of Marion, were the
objects of search nearly as wide
as that for Hickman.
The location of the "murder
house, where the child was dis
memhered still remains q mystery.
Hickman s inability or refusal to
tell the location of the place where
he turned the child over to Cram
er' Friday night, has temporarily
halted the search here.
Somewhere near the Elysian Park
district. where the mutilated rem
nants of Marion S body We're dis
covered wrapped in newspapers, de
tectives are certain they will dis
cover house used as a rendezvous
by the brutal trio.
The murder house, police be-
Eeve, will uncover fingerprints, the
sharp instruments that were used to
slay the girl, and conclusive evil
dence as to the true identity of the
remaining fugitives.
The only clew to the mysterious
''June Dunning' was found in the
Los Angeles police Identification
bureau where a woman whose name,
Jenny V. Dunning,' is listed.
The woman is wanted in Sacramento
where in 1921 she used the alias,
''Jean Laughton.
Early today, Chief sof Police
George O. BrisbOis, OF Phoenix, Ar
izona, dispatched a telegram to Los
Angeles in which he declared
June Dunning' was known to
him under the alias of Mrs. Jean
Farran' and in July was living IN
the five hundred block on South
Main street here.
Later she moved to the Merchants
Hotel, First and Broadway, San
Diego, and was there November 4,
Brisbois said.
A search of records in rooming
houses and hotels here failed to re-
veal any trace of Mrs. Farran but
police believe that hotel registers in
San Diego may link the woman with |
Hickman S confession.
For the past several months So
called daring bandit queen mas been |
operating in Southern California.
She has been variouslv reported as
wearing different colOred wigs, al
though there is little doubt that |
each of the rObberies reported has
been perpetrated by the same per
son.
San Diego, also, has notified Los
Angeles police Of a woman who ans
wers closely the description given
tv Hickman. Robberies there prior
to several weeks ago were attribut-
ed to the activities of this woman
bandit. Hickman declared he picked !
up his two companions in the south
ern city.
Because Of the accurate reports
IF the bandit queen here and in San
Diego, police are working on the
theory that she is the same person
aud are pressing a new search for |
Jenny Dunning in the belief that
she may be linked with the Parker
