Several other important finds
are said to have been made by
the scientific detective from the
Monumental City. Kennedy is

discover its exact type.
Lawrence Leroy Brady, 26year.
old Washington automobile me-

having been held for the grand
jury by a justice Of the peace.
The evidence against him Is very
weak, his attorneys declare, but
say they will not sue out writ
Of habeas corpus until the inVeSti-
gators have completed every onase
of the search.
The accused man is a brother
in.law of the dead woman, and
detectives say he asked Herman
Brady, her husband. who is held
in $1,000 bond as a States wit
ness, where his sister-in.law lived.

family. feeling the pinch of their

YEGGMEN ENTER
BANK IN Va.

BERRYVILLE. Va, Jan. 23.-
Burglars early this morning made
an unsuccessful attempt to open
the vault of Boyce State Bank, at
Boyce. Va, after having gained
entrance to the bank by Jimmy
ing" their way through the front
door.
Once in the bank they sue
ceeded in cutting a hole through
the door of the vault about six
inches in diameter, but were un-
able to open the door or to get
through the inner door of the
valut. With the exception of
finger prints on the front door
and on the vault entrance, 40
traces were left by the yeggmen.
A new door for the vault and
front door of the bank will be
necessary and the total loss Of
the bank is about $1,000.
The equipment which the roo
bers carried. with work that they
accomplished, would indicate that
they were old at the game, and
it is thought that they might
have been the same crew who
recently broke into Fauquier Ma
tional Bank. at the Plains, also
in bank at Fredericksburg, Va.
