of weight. They spent two weeks
with Miss Briggs mother hoping
the farm air and food would re-
store her weight and health. They
were to have returned to Detroit
the day following Miss Briggs, dis

West Grand boulevard.
Miss Briggs was so depressed
that a few days before she dis
appeared she said to Miss Buresh,
while they were walking near
small lake:
"Oh, why don't you push me
In and get IL over with"
So much could Miss Buresh tell
the prosecutor, and no more.

ANN ARBOR. May 1.-THE
torch slayer of Miss Hazel Briggs
returned to the scene of his crime
four days after the murder and
again fired the charred remains of
the 38-year-old Detroit woman in
a futile effort to obliterate all
traces of the killing.
This was established today by
Washtenaw County Prosecutor
George Meader and Sheriff John
L. Osborn after they talked to
Loretta and Beverly Hudson.

scene.
The girls said they saw large
fire the evening of April IA at the
identical place where the mutt
lated and burned body of Miss
Briggs was found last Friday.
PREVIOUS FIRE
Previous witnesses told of seeing
fire the evening of April 10,
-four hours after Miss Briggs
wandered from her mothers home
two miles from the murder scene.
Both Meader and Osborn said
the persons who established the
time of the fires are thoroughly
reliable. Investigators who have
worked almost without rest since
Miss Briggs body was found in a
dump near Manchester % miles
southwest of here were discour-
aged today over failure to find
definite clues or motive for the
murder.
Although they have canvassed
the country surrounding the seven
acre plot where Miss Briggs
widowed mother makes her home
in Summer, they were unable to
find any one who saw the slain
woman after she left the house
where her mother and Miss Beat
