given job in the bank. He work ed as a clerk until six months ago when arrested for forgery.
 Admitting having traced sigma lures from checks entrusted in his care. the youth confessed and was paroled to his mother. Police be- lieve Hickman got the erroneous impression that Parker had opposed his application for parole and had urged prison sentence.
 Sequel Last Thursday
 Last Thursday came the sequel 10 the forgery case. as constructed by Chic. Cline. A young man called at the Junior High school which Marian attended and said her father had been injured and was calling for her. The unsuspecting school officials released her from class and the stranger drove away with her.
 When Marian failed to return home, the search wac begun. Next day Parker received a telegram re- vealing that she was in the hands of a kidnaper who threatened des- perate measures unless he was giV- en $500 and allowed to make getaway without fear of police in tervention.
 Father Makes Appeal
 Parker. distracted. appealed to tho law and started to keep ren- devous with the kidnapper while the police watched from a distance. The willy kidnaper failed to appear having discovered that he would lave to deal with the law if. he kept the appointment
 Three or four letters threatened death to Marian. and two plaintive notes signed by the girl herself then came to the distracted parents In desperation, Parker asked the police to withdraw because of fears for the life of the child.
 The banker last Saturday night drove to . place near the Parker home on instructions from the kid naper, taking $500 in $20 bills. A mysterious automobile approached and a masked man leaned out and inquired about the money. Parker asked LO see HIS llltle Sl l.
 Body Thrown Out
 The masked man pointed to wrapped form in the seat beside him. She's asleep" he said. and then ordered the banker to hand over the money. saying he would leave the girl short distance ahead
 The stranger drove away with the money. A few feet ahead of Park CTS car he hurled the wrapped form of Marian to the ground. With a cry Parker gathered 1t in his arms. The little girl had been killed and cut to pieces.
 The motive. Cline says, was re- venge.
 After having chased thousands of false clues. tho police satisfied them selves this morning that Hickman was the man wanted.
