The girl. whose body was found
about an hour later in the park, had

Captain Dullea said Hickman, 40
years old. was in a party of four

lea said, declared he had no know
ledge of the girls death.

toned were Thomas Dee, 40. official
Of an engineering concern: and Miss
Blanche Mckay, attractive blonde re-
siding at San Francisco hotel.
Two Others Released

ment prior to Miss Jeppesen's depar-
ture and knew nothing of her death,
were released by police shortly before
dawn after several hours of question:
ing.
Hickman. who told police he first
met Miss Jeppesen May through
Dee, was quoted by Captain Dullea as
saying:
AT no time have my relations with
her advanced beyond a proper state"

Hickman claimed, passed OUT dur
ing the Saturday night party. Hick-
man added, the police inspector said,
that he tried to make her comfortable
but when he attempted to remove her

apartment.
She left alone" Hickman was
quoted as declaring. That was about
3 a. m. did not leave my room at

vestigation. however, said employees at
the hotel apartment reported they had
seen Hickman enter the elevator with

Los Angeles. May l4.-@-The
back-fire Of an automobile, and the
suspicion Of an emissary with a black
bag containing $4,000 ransom money
that hi-jackers were after him. ter.
minated with dramatic suddenness
Monday q move that had been ex-
pected would result in release Of Will
liam r. Gettle, kidnapped Beverly
Hills millionaire.
First reports were that the special
emissary had shot it out with hi
jackerS, but later reports to the police
failed to disclose any shooting.
Meanwhile there was definite evil
dence that the abducted millionaire
was alive, and 1t was believed that
the halt In negotiations with the kid
napers was temporary.
The alleged attempt to seize the
money. carried In . black satchel and
consisting Of 10000 In old IS and SO
bills, was definitely reported to be
true early In the day but later could
not be verified.
Opened Fire Quickly
It was said the intermediary
thought he was being surrounded by
men in three machines and opened
fire on them. certain they could not
be the kidnapers because Of informa-
ton he had obtained In notes picked
up on his strange expedition.
In matter Of minutes the district,
about eight miles southwest Of yos
Angeles, was blocked off by swift
moving police automobiles. Officers
leading the hunt believed the ennis
sary had been made away with as he
attempted to pass the money, but this
1t soon developed was erroneous.
Shortly after detective headquart-
ers learned the emissary was safe, two
men fell into the police blockade. One
Of them possessed firearm and wore
red sweater.
In the course Of another brief in
terval, Noon received telephone call
from . man who was identified by his
voice as the kidnapers' contact man.
saying.
Something has happened out at
Downey."
He referred to the district where the
revolver fire occurred and apparently
this marked, for the time being,
cessation Of all real efforts to establish
contact.
Plan Second Attempt
The einissary, upon escaping from
the suspected hijackers. raced to a
telephone, notified authorities he was
safe and in possession Of the money,
and q squad Of police machines raced
to his protection. He was escorted
back to his office and plans were laid
anew to pay the money and bring
about the release Of Gettle.

WHEAT VALUES

Canada, Argentina, France

Interested.

CHICAGO. Oct. 4.-The complex
ion of sentiment around grain tables
on the Board of Trade suddenly
turned bullish and prices edged
higher. Around mid-session wheat
was l to rs cents higher, corn was
up q to a cent and oats were Is
to a cent improved.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Four of the
biggest wheat producing countries
gambled for high stakes in the mar
kets of the world today. Canada.
Argentina, France and the United
States figuratively sat around the
rim of the wheat market-players
in one of the most dramatic trad
ing games imaginable.
Canada, with big stack of blue
chips in front Of her in the form
of tremendous total supply was
sitting tight" The government was
supporting the market and Canada
was wagering that world supplies
are so limited that the other players
will be buying chips later for almost
any price Canada chooses to ask.
For France it was just about the
last hand but as she prepared to
withdraw from the game she had
put into it all the wheat she could
She and Argentina have been back
ing the other side of the game
betting that the wheat market isn't
going to go materially higher de-
spite the small world supply They
have been boldly selling wheat I'M
der world parity.
The United States was staying"
on every hand, her markets fluc-
tuating and sensitive to every for
eign influence.
Thus expert Chicago grain men
painted the picture of the world
wheat market today.
The price of December wheat at
the various table corners today was:
Chicago, 96A cents, up slightly on
technical reaction from a three
day slump; Buenos Aires, SOS
cents; Winnipeg, 761k cents; Liver
pool, october, SO cents; Rotterdam,
November, So cents.
Probably the most significant
play today was made in Winnipeg,
where John I. Mcfarland, head of
the governments central wheat buy
ing agency declared the Canadian
government will not dump its
enormous wheat holdings until
actual consumers demand necessi-
tateS such a move.
Mr. Mcfarland said his organiza-
ton has been supporting the market
since the fall movement of wheat
commenced in western Canada and
is continuing the support although
most of the higher grade wheat has
left the farms.

Steel Downturn Halted

The downward trend of steel pro-
duction apparently has been halted
and consumption of hot metal has
been increasing moderately of late,
the Iron Age declared today. The
divergent tendencies in different
markets apparently signify nothing
more than extreme sensitiveness to
fluctuations in demand at a time
when forward buying is almost non
existent. Pig iron output last
month totalled 898,043 tons, or 29.-
935 tons daily, compared with IL
054,382, or 34,012 daily, in August.
The daily rate represented a de-
cline Of y per cent.
