SLAYlNG OF BAYES
GIRL STILL MYSTERY
Paul G. Lambert Released, Leaving
Detectives Without Slightest
Clue to Murderer,

Stamford. Nov. 10 (UP)-The
brutal staying Of pretty Miss Olga
Bay>s OF Ansonia was more Of
mystery today than ever.
With the release Of Paul G.. LAM
bert. 3o-year-old cooking utensil
salesman. detectives found them
selves without the slightest clue to
the identity Of a motorist who gave
Miss Bayes a lift" the evening Of
October IS. crushed her skull with
a rock and left her dying In a shall
low creek in a lonely section Of this
city.
For more than a week, Lambert
has been in Jail while detectives
fruitlessly examined one clue after
another. From the first Lambert
maintained an alibi. MIR. and Mrs.
E. F. Lockwood supported his claim
he was demonstrating aluminium
wear between s and 1890 p. nj. the
night Of the attack.
The alibi claim was complicated
by the affidavits Of two mattresses
that Lambert was in the Davenport
coffee shop at Sis p. m. that night.
A letter written by Lambert late
that night to Dorothy" in Brook
lyn. N. Y. described the sale Of q
set Of cooking utensils to the Lock-
woods. The letter supported his
alibi, although the letter was post
marked "Oct. rs. 10 p. m.,. 1t was
ascertained that the post Office
stamp had not been changed.
Detectives were faced today with
a cold trail. more than two weeks
old. 1t was thought likely that un-
less a new witness were found. the
case never would be solved.
