day for investigation in the Eusen-
ada Beach stabbing of Lois Kentle

Valley Renter, Kansas, was unable
to explain his reason for carving

ing relatives ut Coronado near
where Miss Kcntle, 23vcar-old IA
>adcna coed, and Conlon, "a, Mon

.auslv slain, he had become interested
in the crime.
He declared he had tried his hand
nj solving the mystery and that he
had used the newspaper found III
his machine as guide in his M
vestigation.
Harmon told Officers he met Miss
Conine in Kansas and had since
visited her in Venice.
