1t is believed that the unl0enLl1cu
Mexican youth whose headless body
was found near Puente recently
was killed in this cellar.
First shot with q ~ caliber rifle
said to belong to young Ncrthcott,
his head was hacked from his body
and the body itself stuffed into a
sack, carried away by car and
hurled to the roadside. It is thought
the butcher then took the youths
head to the murder farm where
he buried it in a quickIime grave
to destroy any possible dental clues
which might lead to Identification.
Both the elder Northcott, who is
being held as q material witness and
the Clark lad corroborated this
theory.
The chief confederation comes,
however. from the finding OF un.
digested tapioca in the stomach
contents of the Mexican and the
verified knowledge that Mrs. North.

often served such food to those at

LONDON, April, 10.-The main
problem in connection with the new
Ford, concerning whether the
brakes come within the legal re-
auirements, has been solved with
ease by Henry Ford.
He will supply an additional
brake to be used by the new Ford
owners if the regular ones aren't
proper,

first touch of Ford efficiency will
be applied to the Dagenham
property, 100 acres of which is

a thousand years Old" Ford said.
Burning of the refuse there may
make alcohol or fuel. At least it
should be utilized. At present it is
a waste"
Ford said he might build fac
tory on the Dagenham site.
Ignores Rubber Act Repeal
Repeal of the Stevenson Rubber
Act, which removes restriction on
exporting of rubber, will not effect
Ford's plans for utilizing Brazilian
rubber, he continued.

we will supply the tire producers"
Ford said.
Ford. in answer to a question of
whether wealth had brought him
happiness, said he was still pur-
suing the course he had started. He
said his chief interest now was in
doing something for Great Britain.
