One of the best SubStantiatcd
clews was one which developed
shortly after Miss Baumgardncr
was discovered missing. Two wo-
men reported that they had seen
a girl, answering to the descrip-
ton of the coed, hitch-hiklng in
GAINESVILLE, O., shortly before noon
the day her disappearance was
noted.
The girl hitch-hiker was accom-
panied by a boy. Castor Stickeler,
Cleveland manager Of the Burns
Detective agency, attached impOr-
lance to this clew because the
two women noted the hitch-hikers
before they knew that Miss Baum
gardner was missing.
The widespread publicity of the
case has brought many letters, tel
egrams, phone calls and purport-
ed clews from "crankS.' A senSa-
tional development in the case
last December has not yet been
proved in this category = neither
has it been proved otherwise.
PRISONERS STORY 3
Debated
A prisoner in the Belmont

told authorities that his .cellmate

abducted Miss Baumgn'dner from

They believed, apparently, that
she might be ransomed. The cell

subsequently were indicted for

An exhaustive investigation fail
ed to produce any evidence that

with Miss Baumgardner's disap-
pearance.
burns operatives virtually have
canvassed the United States in
tracking down every Semblance
Of clew.
Police, highway patrolmen,
newspaper reporters, Miss Baum
gardeners schoolmates and soror-

search at one time or another.
And still Mr.. and Mrs. Baum
gardner retain hope that their
daughter is alive and that some
day they will have her with them
again.

the travelling public a minimum

When completed, the widened

SO that this can be accomplished,
except at one or two points. along
