carly were found to be worthless,
it was announced.
Fred Chase, IL, newsboy at Ma
tional City, a suburban district of
San Diego, had told police man
in a sedan had asked him for di-
rections and then sped away before
he could answer. A girl was bound
and gagged in the. back seat of the
car, the boy said.
Investigation proved that n e
Tueber girl was at work in and
10 cent store at the time Saturday
night when young Chase said he
saw the car, according to police.
An automobile found abandoned
on a street had contained an over
night bag, believed to belong to the
victim. Miss Teuber's grandmother
examined the bag and its contents
today and declared that Louise was
not the owner.
Police learned that taxi driver
had visited the girl Saturday after
noon and that she had made ar
rangements to meet him at $50 p.
m. but had failed to do so.
The girl. police said, had told
store employees she was quitting
her job to go on a short visit to
Seattle. Beyond this there appar-
entity was no other explanation for
her leaving work.
Questioning Miss Teuber's father,
police learned that he had not
seen his daughter since last Thurs
day. She had not been home since
that time. the father said. Police
said he knew that she had been
going with youth but did not know
his name. Teuber is a barber.
Two sailors, who knew the girl,
were questioned but provided per-
feet alibis, police declared. Other
friends of the girl were questioned
in an effort to learn her move
ments after she left work Satur-
day.
Police held the theory that the
slayer of the girl was experienced
in tying knots. The rope found
around thev ictim's neck and over
the limb of the oak tree had been
handled in expert fashion and the
knots were Of type used by sea-
men, it was declared,
Harry Hickok and Jack Nurem-
berg, criminologists from the state
bureau of identification at Sacra-
mento, who have been here since
the Brooks girl was found slain on
Camp Kearney mesa, started to
work on the Teuber Staying today.

Hiiacker Killed
During HOldup
Continued from Page u

between 25 and 30 years old
Many viewed the body in its rest
ing place here today in an attempt
to identify the man as someone
they knew, but none had seen him
before.
A coroner's jury this morning
returned a verdict finding that the
unidentified man had come to his
death by gunshot wounds inflicted
by some person or persons unknown
to the jury.
The shooting and attempted hold
up took place at about 9:15 Sat-
urday night. Six men were gathered
in Bells lonely house on the bank
of New River, playing poker. Two
men entered with guns. They lined
the six against the wall, menacing
them with revolvers.
Bullets Riddle Walls
Bell, who had retired to another
room. opened a door behind the
two robbers, and, seeing what was
going on, slammed it and reached
for his gun The robbers turned
and started to shoot. Two confeder-
ates, supposedly left outside the
building, joined in the gun battle.
Inside and outside walls of the
house were found yesterday to be
riddled with bullet holes. Guests
fled outside, most of them taking
refuge in the brush of the river
bottom. The two robbers who had
entered the house ran.
Undersheriff Clarke. who investi-
gated the shooting, advanced the
opinion that one man escaped in
an automobile, while two took to the
river bottom. The fourth was found
in the yard outside the building, a
large hole in his forehead.
Whether stray bullet from his
companions guns struck him, OF one
of the guests shot him, is not known.
The bullet found to have entered
his head is of a different calibre
from that of Bells gun.
Every effort was being made to-
day to identify the dead man, and
to get some trace of the others,
especially the man who was wound
ed. 1t is thought he will seek medi-
cal attention somewhere.
"Blackie" Bells place on New Ri
yer, where the shooting occurred,
has been the scene of two liquor
raids by members of the sheriffs
force within the past month.
