Had Left City After Muir
der of Girl.
OTHERS READY TO WAIT
IF TRIAL COMES SOON
Prosecutor Says New Angles Are
Being Run Down Before Going
to Grand Jury.

While police today awaited the arriva
here of another man for questioning ir
connection with the Staying CT Beulaf
Limerick, counsel for the four men or
dered held by the coroner's jury as hav-
ing guilty knowledge" were planning
to seek their release from the District
Jail on writs of habeas corpus.
Police Inspector William S. Shelby
announced that Edwin Mcintyre, men,
Der of the Sky High Whoopee Club, who
left town shortly after the girl was shot
had been located in Southern Maryland
and was coming here voluntarily for
questioning.
Mcintyre, a taxicab driver, was re-
ported to have left the city despite the
fact that a friend warned him he might
be wanted by the police for questioning
Shelby said the mans sister, as soon
as she learned he was being sought,
communicated with him. Mcintyre,
according to police, says he left Wash
1ngton in search of work.
Wants to Ask Questions.
Assistant United States Attorney VIII
Ham II. Collins admitted that he wanted
to question Mcintyre, but was inclined
TO laugh at reports that the man "ap-
peared nervous and acted strangely"
after Beulah'S death.
James A. O'Shea, representing Vernon
Limerick, William Paddy and Richard
Reed, all charged with being "acceS-
series TO murder" in connection with
the case, said he would make no de-
cision in regard to applying for a writ
of habeaS corpus until after he talks
with United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover today.
IF the United States attorney will
give assurance that my clients will be
brought to a speedy trial If the grand
jury indicts them, and If the case is
presented promptly to the grand jury,
7 viii not apply for writ" he declared.
However, do not intend that they
shall sit in jail indefinitely while the
police try to work up case against
them"
LangdOn Wants Action.
Attorney Harry T. whelan, repre-
senting Policeman Robert F. Langdon,
held with the others on a similar
charge, also said he would defer apply
ing for a writ until he can find out
how long it will be before the case is
presented TO the grand jury.
Il am entirely willing to cooperate
with the authorities" he said, but
think they should have their case ready
for presentation next week. Langdon
doesn't want to sit In jail indefinitely"
Collins said today that the police are
running down several additional angles
Of the case and that 1t will probably
be at least two weeks before he is ready
to go before the grand jury. He said
he would oppose any effort to secure
release of the four men on wrtts Of
habeaS corpus.
Another Pistol Examined.
A .25-caliber pearl-handled pistol
taken from q colored man arrested last
night by third precinct police was being
examined by detectives today.
Shelby said he attached no particular
significance to this weapon, but that
they were checking every .25-caliber
pistol they can find on the slim chance
that this may lead them to Identification
of the fatal weapon.
