7 MEN SOUGHT
IN DEATH0F
VA. ACTOR

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 UNSO.
Fingerprints on a whisky bottle
and glasses today were being
checked in the hope they would
reveal the strangle-slayers Of r.
Walton Ford, 35, interior deco
rator and former actor, found
beaten and bound to his bed in a
fashionable midtown hotel.
The prints seemed the most
promising way of identifying two
strangers known to have been
with Ford in his apartment just
before the murder. They left
some hours before the death was
discovered.
Ford a Virginian
Ford, member of an aristo-
cratic Roanoke (Virginia) family,
had come to New York Is years
ago and had appeared in several
Broadway plays. On the walls
of his bedroom we're numerous
gold-framed miniatures of his an
cestors-dignified Southern ladies
and gentlemen.
A floor maid, Agnes Graham,
discovered his body when she
entered the fifth floor apartment
to change the linen. The body,
clad in gray trousers, a blue shirt
and shoes, lay on an opened day
bed. A cash three-quarterS of an
inch in length was in the right OF
the forehead. The arms were
bound with length of cord torn
from floor lamp.
A towel was stuffed in the
mouth. Another towel and two
neckties were drawn taut around
the neck, and the feet were
caught together with belt and a
section of radio wire and fastened
to the foot of the bed.
The room was in wild disorder,
showing evidence of a struggle,
and a half emptied bottle of
whisky and three used glasses
stood on a table.
Two Mystery Men
Lawrence Kraft, newspaper
promotion man, who shared the
apartment with Ford, told police
of the victims activities up to a
few hours before his death. He
said Ford telephoned him to come
to the apartment of Mrs. Benja-
min j. Hannewyk, and that for
some time the three Of them and
an unnamed English woman re-
manned there drinking. Then
Ford left.
At 1925 a. M, Ford returned
to his apartment with two men
and the visitors remained there
until 4:3O. Kraft, asleep in his
own room, heard nothing Of
them, but Frank Hill, the eleva-
tor operator, said he heard a
door slam on the second floor
and when he opened his car
there, the two men entered 1t
bearing two grips.
Evidently the pair had walked
down the enclosed fire stairway
from the fifth floor. Arriving
in the foyer. they started for the
street entrance, but Arthur Bog
gini, the night clerk, halted them.
One identified himself as Ford
and the clerk informed him he
would have to settle his bill of
$11, Or else leave his luggage.
Both men dropped their grips,
the one calling himself Ford say
ing that he would return for
them two days later, and the
pair disappeared into the street.
