SHERIFF BROWN
 IS PERSISTENT
Concert, Radio ViOlinist Is Held as Suspect for
 Girls Murder

BY E. DAYTON MOORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Asheville, N. C., July 2l-(U.P0- Sheriff Laurence E. Brown staked virtually all his hope of finding the ravisher and slayer of blonde Helen Clcvenger of New York today upon an attempt to identify Mark Woll- ner, concert and radio violinist, as the mysterious man who stood in the door of the girls hotel room a minute after her dying screams awakened occupants of rooms near by.
 Revealing that E. B. Pittman, @ state banking employe, already had tentatively identified Wollner, the sheriff announced that he expected to make public soon "an important new development"
 WolIner Still Held
 Although the 48 hours for which Wollner could be held legally with out 8 formal charge expired last night, Brown still kept him in sol- itary confinement, refusing to let even his lawyer see him.
 The sheriff refused to expand his statement that he expected an irn- portant development but he indi- cated that it would result from dis covery that the key with which the killer entered Miss Clevenger's room in the Battery Park hotel was of a master design intended only for use by hotel employees.
 His announcement that Pittman had said that Wollner, dark and handsme in the German manner, looked like the man he saw in Miss Clevenger's doorway, made 1t certain that the important development" concerned the musician.
 Identified Before Arrest
 Pittman made his tentative iden- tification before Wollner was arrest ed Saturday, Brown said. The bank ing department employe occupied a room directly across the hall from that of Miss Clevenger on Wednes- day night. He testified at the cor- oner's inquest that while he was working on accounts in his room at about 8. m. Thursday @ woman's scream terrified" him.
 Approximately seven hours later Professor w. L. Clevenger of North Carolina State College at Raleigh, Miss Clevenger's uncle, found her on the floor of her room in blood soaked green pajamas, shot through the right breast, her face slashed brutally and her nose broken by blow. She had been criminally att tackled.

Creist Says War
 Eskimos Indians
 May Break Out
fBv The Associated Press)


 POINT BARROW, July 21, = Two, part-Eskimos, returning to Barrow with an account of an at- tack and robbery by Indians, raised apprehension among the white residents that the long smouldering feud between the Eskimos of the Arctic regions and the Indians of the Yukon River Valley, might revive.
 Rex Lloyd, 23, quarter-breed white and Charlie Edwardson, Is, half white, out collecting rare birds and eggs far in the interior, came to Barrow a month ahead of time to tell of the attack by two Indians hiding in the grass, who overcame the latter who was separated from Lloyd, and robbed him of his shotgun and clothing, and then turned him loose. He found his companion a mile away and both ran to tbnir bOat raachino Barrow in twelve days.
 Dr. Henry Greist said that the boys report aroused strong feel ing among the Eskimos here ag- ainst the Indians on the south side of Baird mountains.
 Greist declared that Edwardson would probably have been killed but he looked like a white per son.
 Fear keeps the Eskimos close to the Arctic coast. Greist said
 "The Eskimos are a peace-lov- ing people, but they will fight as a last resort" Federal auth critics have been advised of the affair, declared the doctor.
