knew about the mysterious band.
A woman keeper of little hotel at
AK, near Marseille, revealed that Kale-

his companions. This started the
man hunt.
The escape of suspected stranger

dropping in his flight a false passport
and cartridge clip corresponding to
those used by the assassin, put the

He trailed them so closely at Thonon
that it was to him they turned for help
when they failed to make their order
understood at a cafe. The detective
happened to speak German. in which
language the pair addressed him
The detective called upon Police

Then Petit turned his fire on his
companion, who held out until Laus-
anne police telephoned they had found
several strangers had bought new
shoes at store in Lausanne. They
gave the numbers in the shoes.
Petit commanded both his prisoners
to remove their shoes and found the
numbers correSponded. The suspect

was PoSpechil Rajtich was re-ex-
amined and confirmed the admission
made by Pospechil.
Meanwhile, a taxi driver at AK re-
vealed to detectives engaged in comb

picked one as that of Kramer. Turn

escaped from blundering police at
Fontainebleau, and the mysterious

directing force of the actual aSsaSSina-
ton.
The doctor" met the others at
Lausanne, and was referred to by
Pospechil and Rajtich as "the govern

to believe there were still higher-ups

"the doctor" was assigned to work in
France.
