MURDER INQUIRY
RUNS INTO SNAGS
Fredericksburg Investigation I'm.
earths Little for Police
to Use.
By a Stad CORRESPONDENT of The Star,


FREDERICKSBURG, Va. May 26.
Investigation of the mysterious
Staying of Miss Fannie Kruz, 81, was
virtually at standstill today, follow
ing the questioning of a dozen or
more colored hoboes living along the
Virginia Central Railway tracks.
Three Justice Department agents,
working in cooperation with local po-
lice. spent most of the night ques-
tioning the colored men regarding the
attack on Miss Kurz and her f1ance,
Milton j. Brown, a. Witnesses were
unable to identify any of them, how
ever.
Brown, a filling station attendant,
still is unconscious in Mary Washing
ton Hospital. Investigators are at his
bedside almost constantly in the hope
his incoherent mumblings will disclose
some clue to the identity of the assail-
ants.
Jealousy was virtually abandoned by
investigators as motive for the crime,
after three couples reported they were
held up by colored men in Battlefield
National Park. during the last several
days. Gilbert Sullivan, 20, told Com
monwealth's Attorn y w. B. F. Cole
he and a young woman companion
were robbed of So in the park by a
colored man armed with a 2-foot
length of iron pipe.
Sullivan was taken to police head
quarters yesterday to view the sus-
poets in the case. but was unable to
identity any of them
Meanwhile, possibility was under
consideration that the assault on Miss
Kurz was the work of the same man
who murdered A. Paul Rice, 36-year-
old Washington Terminal worker, in a
ravine near the Anacostia golf course.
Justice Department agetns were inter-
viewing witnesses in both crimes.

He said today he had been in
formed passage of the bill would

IN INCOME TAX CASE
Disbarred Washington Attorney
Appeals-Bail Increased
to $4,000.
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, May 26.-Norman S.
,Bowles, disbarred Washington attor-
ney, was convicted late yesterday by
a United States District Court jury of
n charges of failing to file an income
tax for 1880 and of filing false returns
for 1881.
The jury deliberated two and a halt
hours before returning its verdict
Bowles. who had conducted his own
defense, Immediately asked Judge W.
Calvin Chesnut to continue his bail
pending motion for a new trial
Judge Chestnut increased the bail
from $4,000 to $4,000 and informed
Bowles the motion must be filed by
Monday afternoon and that the court
would expect it to be argued imme-
diately.
The Government contended through
$tts witnesses that Bowles' income was
approximately $4,000 in 1880. Bowles
: attempted to prove his income for
that year was less than $4,000 and
, that for that reason he did not need
to file any return.
- The return filed by the defendant
u1or 1881 showed a gross income of
d $4,000, but also carried deductions
Famounting to several hundred dollars
more than that amount. The prosecu-
tion contended these deductions we're
false and that they had been used to
defraud the Government of revenue.

UncIad Victim Forced to
Walk as Robber Takes
Taxi, Clothes.

1t wasn't so much the money and
stolen cab that bothered Ermino S.
Sullivan last night, but walking
around clad only in underwear after
chilly Spring rain is uncomfortable
business. At least Sullivan, who lives
at l407 w street, told twelfth precinct
police this when reporting the robbery.
He was employed at Fourth street
and New York avenue by a young
man to drive him somewhere in the
Northeast section, he said. However,
when he reached the vicinity of the
railroad road house. on New York
avenue northeast, the man pressed
what Sullivan believed to be a pistol
against his back and demanded the
money.
Obtaining this, the man ordered the
removal of his coat. vest and trousers,
which he put in the taxi and drove
off. Sullivan managed to borrow a
coat to protect him from the damp
winds and was driven to No. IL police
station, where he told his story.
Herman Lerner of New York re-
ported $50 missing from his wallet
after going to his hotel last night
with young waitress he had met
earlier in the evening. 1t was after
her departure that he missed the
money, he said

cab the couple went to the hotel, was
detained by police this morning for
questioning Lerner said $160 of the
original S670 was still in his pocket
