James Pleasant, Colored, Finds That Law Objects His
Intrusion and Carrying of WEAPONS.

Pleasant informed one policeman of
his new occupation, and the officer
promised not to disturb him when he
saw him lettering about the scene. But
Policeman H. M McQuinn had not been
enlightened as to the mans business
on the corner, SO he arrested him. A

anything but suspicious
An eighth precinct policeman re-

ELIMINATE
ALL BUT SUSPECTS
IN MURDER INQUIRY
AlibiS Clear Six Held for In
veStigation in Killing of
Mrs. laynes.
OFFICERS CONCENTRATE
ON 3 NEWEST SUSPECTS
Seek Auto Belonging to One Of
These on Theory It May
Yield Clues.

Six of the nine suspects held in the
Staying of Mrs. Elizabeth Jaynes, Gar
den T Shop cashier, were definitely
eliminated from the murder inquiry
today as police announced that their
alibis were ironclad
Three of these suspects, the first to
be arrested, were to be released after
a brief questioning this afternoon. The
other three, arrested in Baltimore sew
eral days ago, will be held in connec-
ton with the investigation of a series
of petty crimes.
With the announcement of their
elimination from the case, police
broadcast a detailed lookout for two
young men who on the day the cashier
was shot purchased two black bath
ing caps from a local store. The
bandits wanted in the cashiers death
wore such caps at the time Of the
hold-up.
New Suspect in Case.
A new suspect entered the case this
morning He was arrested in the down.
town section by first precinct patrol
man, who thought he answered the de-
scription of one Of the bandits. He will
be questioned today.
Meanwhile police say they will con-
centrate on the two suspects arrested
last night. Their arrest came with q
report that neighbors had seen one of
them crawl across roof and climb into
another'S apartment window
Police will make an effort to locate
an automobile belonging to one of
these suspects. The car, according to
the prisoner, is hidden in a garage in
the northwest section. Police wished
to examine the machine for clues.
The fingerprints of the two men ar
rested last night failed to compare with
the prints found on the license tags on
the stolen roadster used in the Staying.
The flngerprints of the suspect held
at the first precinct will be compared
today.
Two Examine Guns.
Two 25-caliber guns taken from two
suspects will be examined today. Police
wish to determine whether either of
the guns fired the shots which killed
Mrs. Jaynes or Beulah Limerick.
An effort to connect the Staying of
James H. Lane, street car motorman.
with the murder of Mrs. Jaynes failed
yesterday. Police investigated a report
that man residing in an apartment
adjoining that of a suspect overheard
the remark. You killed a motorman
over in the southeast and now you've
killed a 59-year-old woman"
Further investigation revealed that
the remark was made by a detective in
terrogating the suspect Monday night
Mrs. Jaynes was wounded when a gun
in the hands Of one of the bandits
suddenly discharged during a hold-up
OF the tea shop at 1885 Columbia road.

Washington retailers spend at least
500 100000 annually in Washington,

Local purchasers of foodstuffs alone

total annual pay roll of the Govern

agencies within the District. The re-
tail payroll alone is more than 40 per
cent of the Government payroll within
the District. The balance is rent,
taxes, insurance, heat, light and power,
supplies and advertising.
