Blond Hair Is Only Clue
In Staying Of Ex-Convict
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-A few
strands of short blond hair pried
from the rigid death grip of William
Padmonsky, 38, gave police today
their only clue to the perpetrator
of what they believed was a gang
killing.
Padomonsky's body, shot through
the head, was found yesterday on
bleak patch of land in Southwest
Philadelphia known in prohibition
days as the "gangsters' burial
ground.
All identifying tags had been
stripped from the clothes, but de-
tectives quickly made identification
through fingerprints of the victim,
who they said had spent most of
the last 20 years in prison.
He was released from Eastern
Penitentary last June and brought
from the prison a well-established
trade in convict-made model ships.
Four months ago, investigators
declared, Padomonsky quit his bus
mess to take an $18-a-week position
in a lampshade factory.
