will Question Clerk.
The new angle coupled with Faith
fulls reiteration that his daughter was
cheerful on that day led police to place
more dependence on a murder theory
District Attorney Elvin Edwards has
said the girl may have been killed to
prevent her from talking. :,
Meanwhile police said they Woulo
question a girl clerk in a Fifth avenue
department store when she returned
from her vacation in the west. Inns
girl is said to have lunched with starr
on the day she disappeared.
Meanwhile, authorities tended to cast
doubt on the story of Henry~doldstein
a chauffeur, who said he saw the girl
the day she disappeared, with mil
lionaire" for whom he once worked. He
knew them, he said, because he once
drove them on an eight-day trip In

Of the police investigation, said he had
received q message from Cunard line
offlcials in London declaring Miss Faith

1t was believed the line ofticials based
their statement on letters the girl sen!
to DR.. G. Jameson Carr. ships doctor

of Miss Faithful.
King declared: MY mind is abso-
lutely open yet In respect to either
homicide or suicide in this case in view
Of other information we have discov-
cred"
This statement was considered sig
nificant because previously King had
tended to uphold the suicide theory.
The belief that police still enter r
the possibility that the girl met deatf
by falling or being thrown from ar
ocean liner was strengthened by Kins
today. He said he would call for al
available information on weather. wine
and tidal currents on the week end o.
her disappearance.
