MANIAC SLAYER
STILL AT LARGE
IN METROPOLIS

NEW YORK. June 10. W.H-A
maniacal SLAYER, who unflinchingly
killed two men as part of his an
nounced plot to murder l6 persons
to retrieve some mysterious pa
pers." wrote today that he had
spared his third Yictim-"W. r.. V.
g."
II was the second note the slayer
had sent to the New York Journal
today. In the first he boasted that
he had killed this third victim
despite vigilant watch by hundreds
of detectives in the College Point
scction-and that the body would
be found on the "Boston road, The
first letter said the dead mans
name was "Harold Bridenbach,"
and added, "find the woman and
you've got ne"
The second letter today did not
mention the previous boast of death
but said w. Il. VS. had returned
the "papers" and $37 900 blackmail
money.
Already the maniac has killed
Noel Sowel and Joseph Moyznskl.
Ia both eases they were shot as
lhey sat in parked automobiles
with young women.
Scores in Search
Return OF this money spared five
other people, the letter said, inelnd
ing Il woman slated for death, but
the journal note contained a warn
ing to seven others.
The letters came TO the journal
while scores of police searched the
Boston road in the Bronx section
searching for the body that the
maniac slayer previously had writ
ten about.
Police Commissioner Mulrooney,
who has been personally conducting
the search for the slayer, today said
he did not believe the slayer wrote
the letter saving the third victim
was dead.
He said the handwriting did not
appear the same as those in prevl-
ous notes sent to the newspaper. He
was convinced, however, that to-
day : second letter-that telling of
escape OF the third victim--seemed
to be of the same handwriting and
from the slayer.
After receipt of todaY's first let
ter, police checked carefully on the
death of Alfred Filing, 81, who was
found dead in Pronxville today
with his head severed. Although he
was believed Il suicide-having been
found beside It railroad track-po-

have been the third victim.

SCIENTIST WILL
EXPERIMENT ON
SPEED OF LIGHT

PASADENA, Calf, June 10. iU.p'
DR.. Albert A. Nicholson, world
famous scientist and head of the
physics department At the Universi-
Is of Chicago, prepared today for
the final steps in an experiment
which began five years ago.
The noted physicist arrived last
night from Chicago to supervise
tests in mile-long vacuum tube,
on the velocity of light.
In previous experiments, DIR.
Nicholson gave the scientific world
the present accepted figure for the
speed of light, which is 300, ,796 kilo-
meters per second. He believes this
figure to be inaccurate by about one
kilometer.
Since he hopes to establish abso-
lutte velocity in order that light rays
may be used in measuring the dis
tance of planets, the physicist plans
TO eliminate that one kilometer OF
uncertainty by testing the speed of
light travelling through the giant
vacuum tube.
DIR. Nicholson said he hopes TO
start work at once and TO make the
initial test the first of next week at
Santa Aaa, near here, where his
equipment is situated.
Francis Tease, of the Mt. Wilson
observatory, which is cooperating in
the work, and Fred Pearson, DR..
Nicholson s assistant, already are on
location.
The work began about five years
ago when the physicist attempted to
test light velocity between two
mountain peaks in southern Califor-
MIA. Later the tube was construct
ed because atmospheric conditions
affected the earlier calculations.
