Travis will be moved over to first
base. Neither Harris nor Griffith
will admit that they contemplate
shifting the drawlin' Georgia boy
to the getaway sack, but your
agent has pretty good reason 10
think that such a move Will be
made. Travis was not consistent
in his play at short. There were
days when he could not break on
a ball, especially to his left. AT
first base he wouldn't have so
much ground to cover in that dl-
rection.
TIGERS AFTER TRAVIS
The Detroit Tigers are said to be
eager to make a deal for Travis.
Griffith sits on his rug, as silent
as an Oriental, but letting no
sign escape. Perhaps if he can
get what he wants he will let
Travis go. It is well known that
Griffith is just a wee bit fed up on
Travis lack Of punch with men
on bases. Travis is one of the
best "base-hit" batSrnen in the
league, but he's not so hot when
runs are in position to score.

Child SLAYING.
Girls Playmate, 5, Picks
Cincinnati Suspect

CINCINNATI, May 81 U.N.S).
"A 15-year-old newsboy, detained
without charge for investigation
in the murder Of six-year-old Ann
Woodburn, was identified today
by a playmate of the child victim,
detectives said, as the person who
led Shirley into a wooded section
Sunday afternoon.
The Identification" the detec-
tives said, was made at detective
headquarters by Arthur Rain, 5,
whose tip led to the finding of her
mutilated body beneath leaves and
branches yesterday.
Police of the homicide squad
ordered a chemical examination
of clothing found soaking in a
lard can in the home of the boy
detained on suspicion.
BOY IN DENIAL
Detectives said the identified"
newsboy was known as Linberg
Trent, but that his real name was
Hest. He is the son of Mrs.
Betty Trent, 80, by a previous
marriage. His father is Lynn
Hest, whom Mrs. Trent said she
married in Chicago about 16 years
ago. Later she remarked.
MUD ON HIS CLOTHES
The youthful suspects mother
told detectives her son returned
home between 7::30 and 8 p. m.
Sunday with mud on his clothing.
They quoted her as saying the
boy must have known little Shir-
ley, although he denied ever hav-
ing seen her. He admitted, &C
cording to detectives, that he
knew the little Rain boy.
A knife of the type which police
believe the slayer used was found
in an overnight bag under pile
of clothing in the young suspects
home, police said. He told them,
they said, that it belonged to his
Stepfather who is confined to the
Longview State Hospital here. The
knife had five-inch blade.
Shirley's body bore % stab
wounds and her mouth had been
packed with mud to prevent her
from screaming. >

LEFT THIRD NOTE
Contact was established after
the abductors had left a third
ransom note and had brazenly
thrown rock through the window
of the Cash home to call attention
to the note pinned to the screen
door.
The third note gave new direc-
lions for establishing contact with
the kidnapers, and the father, who
had just returned from a long and
fruitless search over Swampy
roads, Immediately set out again.
TOSSED FROM AUTO
Cash said he tossed the ransom
money, made up of old bills Of
small denominations and wrapped
in a single package, from the
window of this automobile on a
remote country road.
Following road designated in
the third ransom note, Cash said
he saw another car parked by the
side of the road. AS his own car
approached, the lights of the
parked car flashed three times
the signal the kidnaperS had said
they would use to identify them
selves.
AS Cash drove by the parked
car he tossed the package of
money from the window of his
own car and then kept driving.
FATHER ALONE
Cash was alone as he kept the
rendezvous with the kidnapers.
He had refused all suggestions
that he be accompanied on the
trip.
Federal agents, led by E. ]. Con-
molly, who flew here from Wash
ington, said they did not obtain
the serial numbers of the ransom
bills before the money was de-
livered. In the ransom note the
kidnaper had instructed that bills
of consecutive serial numbers
were not to be used for ransom
payment.
ELUDED POLICE
In leaving the third ransom
note. the messenger had eluded a
ring of police and Omen who
had been rushed to Miami by air
plane.
The exact contents of all three
notes were kept secret, although it
was learned one of the notes
carried the grim warning the
child would be killed if the abduc-
ton was made public. The other
notes we're said to have been crude
charts of seldom-uSed roads which
the father was instructed to follow
in his efforts to communicate with
the kidnaperS.
The family had gone to the viii

ton.
Under direction of Reed Vetterli,
in command of the New York Of
flee of the Omen, dozen agents
of the Federal Bureau searched
the shore for several miles near
the spot where the body was
found, but without results.
WIRE BROKEN
In the opinion of DR.. Amos o.
Squire, medical examiner of West
chester county, there was little
doubt the wire had been attached
to a weight which had held the
body submerged until the wire
broke. The wire was about the
thickness of lead pencil.
DR.. Squire, in signing the death
certificate, gave the cause of death
as "asphyxiation by drowning CD
homicide" He put a question
mark after the word drowning"
explaining the long immersion of
the torso left it in such condition
he was unable to determine the
cause of death more definitely.
There were no bullet wounds or
marks of external violence on the
body.
