Mrs. Irene Christopher-Jimmy's

one of the women of the county

Our mind went back to about
1922 when Mrs. C. made her first

saying "Ladies and Gentlemen
how we both laughed! The Chris

those days, and Mrs. Christopher
was president of the Laytonsville
Branch of the Woman's Democratic

Elsie White Haines its secretary.
We made state wide acquaint-

Police Hunt Two Girls
In Quest for Slayer
.0f Soldier Here
Pair Believed to Have
Been With Gunmun
Shortly Before Tragedy

Police today broadcast a lookout
for two colored girls about l8 years
old believed to have been COM
panions of the two colored youths
implicated in the fatal shooting
Sunday morning of Pvt. Robert w.
Hammer, 81, Fort Myer soldier, in
the 1400 block of Rhode Island ave-
nue. NV.
Police said the girls are about
5 feet 4 or inches tall, neatly
dressed, both wearing dark brown
jackets, one with white polka dots
about the size of a half dollar.
Shortly before the shooting, police
said, the two unidentified colored
youths were seen walking west on
Rhode Island avenue from Four
teenth street toward Sixteenth
street with these two girls.
Girls Kept on Walking.
The youths and the girls sep
arated, police said, at Rhode Island
avenue between Sixteenth and Fiji
teenth streets. The girls, it was re-
ported, continued walking toward
Sixteenth street, and the youths
walked back toward Fourteenth
street to the point where the shoot
ing occurred.
Announcement of the new clue in
the case was made by Capt. Robert
j. Barrett of the Detective Bureau.
Police also were seeking the iden-
tity of a soldier who threw a bottle
at the gunman who shot Hammer.
According to detectives, the un-
identified soldier joined in the chase
OF the alleged slayer and a colored
companion and hurled a bottle con-
tanning gin at one Of the colored
youths.
Then, police said, one of the COL
ored youths turned and fired a pistol
shot which ripped through Pvt.
Hammers jaw and lodged in his
throat. The victim died nine hours
later in Emergency Hospital without
regaining consciousness.
After questioning dozen suspects,
police admitted they were stumped
as to the identity of the gunman. A
colored man armed with a gun was
picked up by Thirteenth precinct
police last night, but witnesses failed,
police said, to link him with the
crime.
Police were still attempting to
piece together conflicting accounts
of events leading up to the fatal
shooting and pointed out that ques-
tioning of the unidentified soldier
who threw the bottle might help to
clarity the evidence.
Police have questioned Is colorej
suspects in connection with the
crime, including 10 men and 2 wom-
en- grilled Yesterday and the man
picked up last night.
Pvt. Hammer native of Peters,
burg, Va, had been in the Army a
little more than a year. His body
