POLICE SEEKING
MAKER OF CAGE
IN ROBES CASE
Latest kidnapping Suspect
AbSoIved by June;
Pit Studied.
By United Press

By United Press
TUCSON, Ariz.. May 19.-Detec-
tives searched local machine shops
today for a mechanic who built
corrugated-iron cage in which little
June Robes was found chained
nineteen days after she was kid
mapped.
Only mechanic or welder, skilled
in the art of handling ball hammer
and lathe, could have constructed
the torture chamber, authorities
were convinced. With no available
suspects at hand, they inStigated
hunt for the builder. believing he
either was involved directly in the
kidnapping or could shed some light
on the anonymity of the kidnaperS
The metal box. which was sunk
in a shallow pit in the desert nine
miles from here, was expertly fash
toned and constructed Strips OF
sheet iron were cut to fit the sides
and ends snugly. Nails were pound
ed deeply into the seams with a
ball hammer, tool difficult to
handle except by skilled hand.
June was released from the cruel
torture box Monday night. An ankle
chain bound her fast. The only
ventilation was from a small open
ing at the top which was lightly
screened by cactus and mesquite.
Hope of an early solution of the
case faded late yesterday when June
absolved the latest suspect, dude"
rancher. He was released when he
explained his recent movements
and June declared he was not the
man who kidnapped her April Is as
she was walking home from school.
Federal experts continued their
tests of fingerprints found on the
iron cage and on food containers
discovered in the shallow pit. This
phase of the investigation was eX-
pected to require another twenty
four hours before it could be deter
mined if the prints are likely to lead
to an early arrest.
