Red Fingerprints Are Studied
BY Police; Tags Removed
From Dentists Stolen Car

What police believe may be an
other murder mystery was re-
vealed today with the discovery Of
a bloodstained stolen car at
Eighth and R Streets Northwest.
The car, belonging to DIR. Louis
Notes, a dentist, of 1925 Ordway
st. N. w., was stolen last night
from Eighth and F Streets North
west. DIR. Notes notified police
when he left a theater and found
the car missing from its parking
place.
Traced by Engine
This morning policeman
noticed a roadster parked with
the license tags missing and
notified headquarters. Detective
Frank Alligood, through the en-
gine numbers. discovered it was
DR.. Notes car.
Raising the rumble seat of the
car, Detective Alligood discov-
cred large amount of blood on
the seat. A bloody handkerchief
and a mans bloody fingerprints
were also discovered.
Police fingcrprint experts are
attempting to determine whose
fingerprintS were found.
Police are at a loss to account
for the blood. as no glass in the
car was broken. For that reason
they suspect foul play.
Came From College Park
DR.. Notes said he drove his
car to College Park late yester.
day and upon his return to the
city parked it at Eighth and F
Streets Northwest. He said the
speedometer registered "a miles
for the trip and he had about 5
gallons of gasoline in his tank at
the outset.
The speedometer today regis
tered 21.4 miles and there was
approximately two gallons Of gas
in the tank. The radiator showed
evidence that the car had been
hard driven because of dis
coloration caused by boiling over.
Detective Fred Sandberg, finger
print expert, made a thorough
examination of bIOOdstainS on the
car and took photographs Of
what was believed to be finger

Even though IL years have

cited the following statistics on

You will like the price*
as we'll as the quaIity...

What must you pay for the car you would
like to own? Can you get a car that is
well built, fast, easy to drive and good to
look at-for the price you want to pay?
Indeed you cantor in Pontiac you get so
much for your money. It is an outstand-
ing General Motors value.
For instance, If you owned small car in
the past you will find you can buy the
fine Pontiac today for about what that
small Car cost you. Yet what extra value
Pontiac gives you!
One fine thing you get is 90 h. p.
motor that is smooth and quiet at all
times. II is large motor, and 50 does all
you ask with ease. And you can trust It to
work that way as long as you have the car.
Then you will get fine new Fisher body
which is built to shut out heat, cold, rain
and noise. The seat springs are deep

the cushions soft. Real mohair and
whipcord give the style and long wear
you want for pride and lasting value.
You will find the Pontiac very comfortable
to ride in. There are rubber cushions at
Appoints in the chassis-a fine-carfeature
which takes up most Of the road shocks.
Also there are four hydraulic shock
absorbers to add to your comfort.
Your friends will say that Pontiac's lines
and color and finish make it a car to be
proud Of. People will turn to watch It as
you drive by. You will feel that you have
bought fine-car value at very low cost.
OF course you may say that we think
more Of our car than you might! Then
why not drive the Pontiac and find out
just how we'll it lives up to what we say
about it? Any Oakland Pontiac dealer
will be glad to let you take Pontiac,
whenever you are ready to make the test.
