Mystery Man Hunted
As Grand Jurors
Press Inquiry

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. "a
UN.SO.-A new mystery man"
had entered the case Of the
strange death of Thelma Todd
here today.
All appears to be known of
him is that he is a San Fr4l-
cisco business mantle newest
love in the life of the gay film
star, the man whose picture was
in her heart when she met her
mysterious death a week ago.
The Los Angeles grand jury
and the office of District Attorney

cover the mans identity.

mate friend OF Miss Todd, re-
Vealed this marvellous romance"
SO the investigators are
asking:
''WhO was this man who had
captured the elusive heart of
the blonde Miss Todd? Was
he the sleek foreign man re-
ported driving with Thelma the
day of her death? And was
she about to reveal his identity
to her friends?' Was he the
person she said she was bring
ing to Mrs. Wallace FOrd'S
cocktail party when she told
Mrs. Ford over the telephone
You'll just drop dead when
you see who I'm bringing?'"
And most important of all, did
Miss Todd have a rendezvous with
this man on the night of Deem
Der Is preceding her death, if she
still was alive that night?
Determined that many of the
battling aspects of the case can
be cleared by word from this
stranger, George Rochester, fore
man of the grand jury, today said
every effort would be made to 10
cate him, and that the grand
jury would hold extraordinary
session today instead of adjourn
ing until Friday as planned.
While she was waiting to be
called before the grand jury. Miss

BET TY COW

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-ChriSt'
mas at sea tomorrow will see Anne
Morrow Lndbergh in the role of
nurse, as we'll as mother to her
3-year-old son, Jon, for whose sake
she and her husband have left the
United States for England.
Despite reports that two servants
accompanied Colonel and Mrs
Lindbergh when they sailed early
Sunday morning aboard ship be
lieved to be the American I'm
porter of the United States Lines,
friends declared today neither was
a nurse for the boy. Mrs. Lind
bergh, whose nerves have been
shattered by fears for her only
son, is caring for Jon.
Betty Cow to Join Them
Betty Cow, nursemaid to the
first Lindbergh child, for whose
murder Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann is to be executed while the
Lindberghs are out of the country,
left for Scotland several months
ago. Other nurSemaidS have
cared for Jon since then, but
none had won the place in Mrs
Lindbergh's estimation that Betty
had. A close friend said today:
81 do not believe a nurse &C
companied them. Undoubtedly
Anne can find a stewardesS on
board to watch the child when
she wishes to be on deck or
while he is sleeping"
The belief of Englewood friends
is that Betty Cow will meet the
ship at its dock in Liverpool and
become, during the Lindberghs
stay abroad, joins guardian and
attendant.

ed from Glasgow as being vel

engineers.
A preliminary examination was
made when the bus was raised
from the river bottom Sunday
night. Today, guarded by State
troopers and employees Of the
motor vehicle department, the
bus was towed here.
One of the questions to be de.
cided by the examination is
whether the accident was caused
by the failure of the brakes to
work properly as the bus came
down a slight hill to the Hope
well bridge.
Plan Thorough Study
At the office of John @. Rhodes,
director of the motor vehicle de.
partment, who ordered the ex-
animation, it was said that no re.
port as to the findings could be
made until every mechanical
feature of the vehicle has been
examined"
Brakes sufficient to stop the
vehicle within a distance Of %
feet at 20 miles per hour were
on the bus, it was learned. In
all, there were nearly 800 square
inches of braking surface, $40
square inches operated by air
pressure and 1853 square inches
mechanically.
The brake system of the bus,
said to have been six years old.
was explained by officials of the
truck company which made it.
1t was pointed out that approx
mately lis pounds of air, Eored
in a compressor tank, operates
the air brakes. The mechanical
brake, designed for emergency
use and parking, is operated on
the drive shaft, while the air
brakes operate only on brake
drums on the four wheels.
Air Pressure Shown
A gauge on the dashboard in
front of the bus driver indicates
the air pressure at all times, it
was said. These brakes will oper'
ate on as little as so pounds, q
company representative declared.
This official pointed out that a
22-foot stop at 20 miles per hour
would be so sudden as to cause
persons in the vehicle to be
thrown forward in their seats.
Such brakage is required. how
ever, by laws of some States.
