The automobile parts found were

he had no idea who Rogers was

Evidence indicated a hurried and
even frenzied effort to reduce the

The effort was a failure,
A special reason for haste, police
believe, was Commissioner Russell's s
order yesterday for a search of all

ostensibly issued for the purpose
of finding whisky and stills. but
none the less it is believed to have
caused panic among the men who
knew of the auto.
Haste Gives Clue
Until the issuance of the general
search order, the plan of the killers
is believed to have been to tear the
car apart, bit by bit, so that no part
of it ever could be found. The panic
caused haste and haste caused a fatal
blunder.
A siren, similar to those used on
detective bureau Cadillacs, was found
among the wreckage. Another item
found there was a Lueger automatic
pistol. Others were a brown top
csat, charred portions of gray hat
and a blue sweater.
The hat was from the Emerson
