New York. a character sketch Of
Starr Faithful has been pieced
together by the authorities
Led A Dual Life
Something happened to Starr
when she was but a schoolgirl in
New England. She became "a
girl of a thousand moods" She
would live a quiet, studiOuS, do
meStic life and then suddenly
break out.
On these neurotic expeditions
she wanted to live furiously. She
wanted to drink-even though she
knew that after a couple of
drinks she became irresponsible.
During the period she wrote
her "love diary" Starr was under
treatment by neurologist.
The hint of new men in the
case was contained in love letters
written to Starr during the past
few months.
BY checking the names and
initials signed to the missives
with the names and initials men
toned in Starr's diary, police dis
civered that a group of men not
previously mentioned in the case
had made her acquaintance since
1929. Some of the letters were
written just a few days before
June S. when she disappeared.

ties were no nearer solution of
the supposed murder than when
they found her bruised young
body in the surf at Long Beach
one week ago today.
Her -step-father. Stanley E.
Faithful, still insists Starr was
murdered. When and where and
by whom he has no inkling.
District Attorney Elvin Edwards
believes Starr was murdered. He
says:
"Circumstantial evidence of
homicide"
If Edwards can go any further
than this. he has not recorded it.
Up To Grand Jury
Tomorrow, the Grand Jury
hearing evidence and testimony
on the purported crime will settle
one matter. If they find an in
dictment against John Doe" or

criminals used by the law when
the murderer is unknown, it will
be officially branded as murder.
This action will then place the
next mOve-the vital Cne-up to

There are many veteran beach

that Starr either fell, jumped, or
was thrown from a passing liner

If that were so, the sand found
