WOMAN SOUGHT
FOR SLUCCING IN
SOLDIER'SDEATK

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20 UP
A young blonde woman was sought
by police today for questioning in
the murder of Felix Williams. SO.
former United States marine cor
poral who was found dead in his
apartment here, his battered body
tied "spreadeagle" across his bed.
Williams had been gagged and
/ beaten and strangled to death about
| five days ago, according to physi-
clans
Following questioning of three of
Williams former associates, and
from the fact that a hand of the
murdered man covered q button
bearing the royal lion of Persia, In
spector Allan McGinn of the homi-
eide squad said there was a posi-
bility the crime might have back
ground extending far into the mys-
ticism of the East.
Williams had been living like q
hermit, his former friends said, and
police aScertained that his only as
Sociate was the blonde mystery
woman who was a frequent visitor
TO his rooms. She was expected to
have valuable information which
might aid in solving the strange
case-the most mysterious San
Francisco murder since the strang-
ling of Mrs. Rosetta Baker
Cigarette butts found in the
apartment indicated, police said
that several persons might have
witnessed the murder.
Williams had been stripped 70 all
his clothing except an athletic un-
dershirt, and his arms and legs
were tied with sailors knots to the
two ends of the bed.
The weapon used in the beating
was believed to be a gilded wooden
elephant OF considerable weight,
thought to have come originally
from some Persian temple. The ele-
phant, stained with blood, was
found lying on the floor near the
death bed.
Was Strangled
The blows from the elephant,
however, did not kill Williams. in
the opinion of Deputy Coroner
Michael Brown.
He was slowly strangled by a
silk handkerchief that had been
rammed into his mouth and throat
as a gag" Brown said.
And when the murder or murder
ers finished" he added, they care
fully picked up their belongings and
vanished, leaving the room sealed
with lock and key behind them"
Williams had soldiered and travel
led all over the world. and in his
rooms were curioS brought from the
far corners of the earth. 1t was
these which led Officers to believe
that a feud or some mystic hap
pening in Parsia might have led to
his murder.
An ironical note was brought to
the killing by Williams horoscope
discovered among his effects. Pre-
pared by a local Persian astrologer
and psychic, it said:
The months ahead Will bring
you good fortune. Especially the
month of August. Your fortunate
days will be from the 18th to the
10th OF August
Police believe he was killed August

IN STOCK
PRICES CONTINUES
Market Opens Higher and
Much of Initial Gain Is
Held.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Wave after
wave of buying swept over the stock
market today, each one carrying prices
higher. There were intervals of
realizing, but offerings were quickly
absorbed. Some of the gains were
spectacular and the market as whole
exhibited strength not seen before
this year.
Rails, utilities and industrials par
ticipated and although leadership
shifted about, there was no reaction OF
consequence, with the close not far
from the best Of the day. Demand
was urgent from the now thoroughly
chastened shorts and buying from the
newly converted bulls was no less en-
phatic. AS the day went on the world
wide significance Of President Hoover's
plan for an international debt. mora
torium became more clearly realized.
1t was not simply stocks, but COM
modities that were stimulated, cotton,
wheat, the non-ferrous metals and sill
yer all recording price advances. Buy
ing OF copper was another encouraging
development. Mark exchange was
strong and Stock Exchange seat was
previous sale. The gain in silver
amounted to approximately 2 cents and
was said to be the largest rise in any
one day for that metal in 80 years.
Bunched orders at the opening
brought some spectacular advances.
Shorts who had not acted on Saturday,
either because they were not convinced
Of the importance of the event or be-
cause they had been absent from the
Street and were not informed Of de-
velopmentS, rushed to cover today. The
turnover during the first half hour was
a million shares, the largest in over
year for that period.
Auburn Auto jumped IS points on
the first sale. Du Pont was up 5h
points, Air Reduction up points and
there were many smaller gains. United
States Steel was little late in opening,
but it was up nearly points, while
General Motors, General Electric, Con-
solidated Gas and other standard stocks
went along.
Not all of this represented hasty COW
ering, although a good deal of it did
There was outside buying, influenced
not so much by the news, the signifi-
canoe Of which was only dimly realized
but by the market reaction to it or
Saturday There has been for a long
time buying for cash and there would
have been much more If it had not
been held back by the continuous de-
cline in prices. This buying was re-
leased today and had its effect.
