watched blue roadster disappear down

chief OF the homicide squad, continued
his interviews with the 80 or so admir-
ers OF the Limerick girl, whose names
were written In her diary. Flaherty
said that up to the present time most
OF those questioned know little about
the actual Staying.
This morning Flaherty was busy
checking the story of Fred Nally, taxi
driver, who said he saw q girl closely
resembling Beulah Limerick step from
blue roadster at Fifteenth and H
streets at 2 o'clock on the morning of
the Staying. Nally told police the girl
mad cast In one eye, and Flaherty re-
called that one of the Limerick girls
eyes was faulty. Nally will also be sum-
moned to appear before the grand jury.
Oficer Robert Langdon, one of the
four suspects held for the grand jury
in connection with the Staying, failed
to waiver from his original story when
interrogated at the District Jail late
yesterday.
Contending that police illegally en-
tered the home of Langdon when they
discovered two unregistered stills, Harry
T. Whelan, the policeman's attorney,
announced that he would attack the
validity Of indictments returned against
Langdon by the grand jury yesterday.
Inspector Albert Headley is running
down complaint made by Richard

dollars had been stolen from the muir
der house some time after the murder.
