t Attorney Elvin N. Edwards.
The girl was intoxicated
when she entered the cab, the
chauffeur said, and she
bought two bottles of whisky
during the journey. She drank
some of this liquor and gave
him some, he said.
She wanted to go to a certain
house in Flushing, he said, but
couldn't find it, so he let her out at
a drug store.
District Attorney Edwards pro-
ceeded with his grand jury session
with some fifteen witnesses and with
the silk-bound diary which Starr
kept over a period of three or four
years. 1t was indicated that indict-
mentS will be returned against two
unidentified men, to be called
John Doe" and Richard Roe"
Two Men Believed SIayers
The district attorney proceeded
on the theory he has held since he
started the investigation-that two
men murdered Starr because they
feared her. These men, he believed,
killed the attractive girl because
she knew something that threatened
thir security.
1t is possible, according to the
theory, that blacknail was involved
in the death Of the girl, whose body
was washed ashore at Long Beach,
Monday.
Among the witnesses who testified
before the jurors were Frank w.
Wyman, Boston. father of the dead
girl; Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley E. Faith
full, her stepfather and mother, and
Elizabeth Tucker Faithful, 19-year-
old sister.
The taxicab driver, ST Bockman
Of the Bronx, and traffic parol-
man j. Bellochi, who helped the
girl into the cab in front of the
Chanin building on Forty-second
street last Thursday, also were to
testify.
Girl Was Intoxicated
Bellochi and employees Of the
Chanin building told authorities
that the girl, smartly dressed. but
obviously under the influence Of
liquor, entered the lobby of the
building in company with an older
woman-a woman known as a
character" to them. The woman
asked that some one take care Of
the girl and said that she was sick.
Employees Of the building called
patrolman Bellochi, who suggested
calling an ambulance. The girl
objected vociferously to this and
then Bellochi put her in-the cab.
Bellochi and the building employees
have identified Stars body as that
Of the girl they saw. They said,
however, that she wore different
clothes Thursday than she had on
when she was killed. She had a
purse filed with money and her
hair was disheveled when she
entered the car, they said.
The cab driver, Bockman, is TO
be taken to the Jamaica crematory
to view the body later today, and
much depends, according to Ed
wards, on whether he identifies it
as that Of the girl he took to Flush
ing.
Tickle in Love Affairs
Francis Peabody Hamlin, cruise
director Of the Cunard lines, was
one Of the grand jury witnesses. He
told reporters that he had known
Starr only in a business way" In
spite Of the fact that the girl used
his name as an excuse when she
was away from home late at night.
Entries from Starts diary, tend
ing to show that she was extremely
tickle in her love affairs and had
considered suicide on occasions,
were ready for the jurors.
DR.. Otto Schulz, who performed
the autopsy on Miss Faithfull's body,
was the first witness and repeated
his story in substance to reporters.
He said that his examination of
the body led him to believe that
Starr had been drowned in shallow
water, and that she had been han
died roughly. It is his assumption
that two men held her head under
water until she was dead.
Sand in Windpipe
Sand was found in the windpipe
and in the trachea, he said. She
had been dead about forty-eighh
hours when the body was found on
the beach and there was no trace
Of alcohol or drugs in her system.
She could not have been drink
ing within twenty-four hours of her
death, DR.. Schulz said.
In the enigmatic past Of a beau
tiful girl, whose half-clad body was
washed UP on the sands of Long
Beach. authorities have found
enough material for q dozen good
mystery stories.
