Search for BeaII
Mysterious Phone Coll
Believed Best Clue to
PoIicemon's Whereabouts

Search was widening today for
Can't. Lawrence r. Bea1. chief
property clerk of the Metropolitan
Police Department. missing since :
last Friday night and wanted on
embezzlement charges.
Circulars describing the missing
offlcer have been dispatched to cities
and towns along both the Canadian
and Mexican borders. No trace OF
him has been found since his auto
mobile was located Monday near
Harvard street and Georgia avenue
NV.
With no clues as to Beall's pos
sible whereabouts, police today ap-
parently still considered their best
lead" the mysterious telephone call
which some one attempted to get
through to the property clerk FRI
day night.
Each time the call was placed
Beall apparently took the receiver
of the hook without answering.
Finally the operator at police head
quarters managed to talk to him
and he told her no one knew he
was there and he wished to speak
to no one. This Is the last that
is definitely known OF his where
abouts.
1t has been definitely established.
police said, that Beal was "rabid
race horse better" and known book
makers are being questioned in an
effort to find the one with whom
the missing 46-year-old officer reg
ularly placed bets to determine II
| he were heavily in debt.
| The possibility that Beall has met
with foul play was being explored.
In support of this possibility 1t was
pointed out that the property clerk
could have applied for a Today
leave, which was coming to him.
and then could have had that much
time for a getaway before shortages
were discovered, If he were guilty
Of the embezzlement charge.
Suicide Theory Discounted.
The theory that Beall might have
committed suicide in the reservoir
near where his car was found is
discounted by police. Capt Robert
Barrett. assistant chief of detectives,
pointed out that even uniformed
police officer could not get past the
fence guards and soldiers on guard
duty there without giving them good
reason for doing so.
Police did locate 4 friend Of the
missing ofhcer who lives near the
spot where the automobile was To-
Gated, but he said he had not seen
Beall.
1t was estimated that the short
ages in the accounts of the missing
property clerk, once . trusted mem
Der of the police force, would amount
to at least IS 600 and possibly might
reach q higher figure. Beall wal
bonded for IS 900.
