The automobile which Mr.. Buzzacott

everything but parking space.

Mrs. BuzZacott, as Mr.. BuzZacott ex-
planned; was the windshield wiper. Mr..
Buzzacott did most of his explaining
with an eye on the traffic policeman.
Sometimes Mr.. Buzzacott glanced at
the oncer from behind the pine trees
on his back porch, and other times he
peered out through his patented copper
screen windows near the drivers

"Youn Find Them Everywhere."

toward the corner. The traffic police
man was looking his way.

six times, my wife and l." Mr. Buzza-
colt said, and I guess maybe we'd

The traffic officer, however, had
turned his attention to a woman who
seemed to be trying to drive two ways
at once.

Perhaps I'll have time to tell you
about us, after ALL" said Mr. Buzzacott,
who. aside from being a retired Army
sergeant, 70 years old, is an Indian
scout, explorer, big-game hunter, in
ventor, author and co-designer of his
home on wheels, the Cruiser Car.

he amended. Sure enough, the traffic
policeman was coming over to Mr.. Buzz

As another step in the process Of

The police, however, are convinced

Is not the one used by the slayer OF
Miss Baker.
In view of the possibility that the
pistol may have been used In some
other crime committed here, detectives
will endeavor to trace 1t from the lac
tory to the purchaser.
IL is also believed the local authori-

This man left Washington for New York

According to Inspector William s.

Police have received information that
the man in New York may have Deen
implicated in the theft Of articles from
a house on Twelfth street Two Gays

believe this man can help them IN SOW

be able to aid in explaining the presence
in the sewer of several articles OF leWeiry
which did not belong to Miss Baker:

Another angle which the police were
investigating today was a statement
from a local clairvoyant that she gave
Miss Baker q reading shortly before she

believes the girl was killed by police
