Catch Killer

Up the stairs they both
climbed, carefully avoiding the
paper; but when their eyes were
on the level with the upper floor
they stopped instinctively.
They looked directly across a
bedroom floor at the groteSque
body of an elderly woman lying
under the bed.
Down the stairs and out of the
house the frantic officers raced,
swinging toward the barn in the
rear-just in time to hear the
whirring of a car starter.
But the officers were in the
barn and closed in on the driver,
dragging him from his seat be-
fore the ancient motor had
chance to start.
"Who Is that woman you
killed in there-Mrs. Batche-
lOre"
The man nodded.
"YOu stopped at the filling
station on Route 40 the night
you killed the Kyle girl; the
gas station owner there can
identify you. What have you
got to say about that" ac-
cused the officer.
Then Ernest Fenstemaker
broke into a whining and wailing
that turned the stomach of the
officers, as he did later for a
jury in court when he was sem
fenced to life Imprisonment.

Preferred Trucks

The truck was headed toward
Lawrence, where Price picked
up her trail again at a coffee
shop; there she had begged a
meal and then inquired where
the transport trucks pulled into
town.
Evidently this nomad prefer
red the men who piloted the
huge caravans for long distances,
because she was later seen ask
ing some of them for a lift.
But she seemed to have been
unsuccessful because a filling
station operator at the edge of
town reported seeing the girl
shutting out of town on Route
40 at about z o'clock in the
evening. ~
Between this spot and the
scene of the crime, Price knew
there was but one public stop;
that was a solitary gas station,
five miles out of Lawrence, so
Price headed there as a last re-
sort.
The deputy's luck held, be-
cause it proved to be the last
place the girl was seen alive by
anyone outside of her slayer.
The gas station proprietor told
of an old green Chevvie that
drew up a little after Z the previ-
Gus evening for three gallons Of
gas. JJ.
The driver was "a thin-faced
man in blue overalls with a
black hat pulled down on his
face, and he had a girl COM
panion who answered the de-
Scription of the murder victim.
The man never got out of the
car, but the girl walked 20 the
washroom while gas was being
pumped into the tank.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.-Mike M.
Masaoka of San Francisco, national
secretary Of the japanese American
Citizens League, said late today his
organization was preparing all jap
anese-American and foreign born
alike-for an ultimate mass evacua-
ton OF the Pacific Coast.
Circulars have been distributed
telling Japanese to get ready to
move inland under Government su-
pervision and to abandon property
in California, Oregon and Wash
tngton.
1--WE are preparing our people" he
said, ITO move out. We want them
to 60 without bitterness, without
rancor and with the feeling that
this can be their contribution to the
defense of the United States.
Drive Started Voluntarily.
I'VE want to convince them that
1t will be patriotic to make this sac
rifice. and a sacrifice it will be. We
want them to GO protesting but one
thing-their' patriotism to the flag
of the United States"
Mr.. Masaoka said the campaign
was undertaken voluntarily by the
Japanese American League.
"Why jeopardize this country or
our people by trying to insist on
staying, or even by pursuing our
legal rights as citizens Of this coun-
try to contest evacuation" he asked.
Naturally our people would leave
instantly on orders from the Army,
but we hope to leave, you might
say, before the Army sees fit to
kick us out"
Sort Of Adventure.
Mr.. Masaoka said the league OF
10000 members represents more
than 100000 Japanese on the Pa
ciflc, with property he estimated
at 500 100000.
I'VE seek to make our people
look at this movement as a sort OF
adventure, such as our fathers and
mothers undertook when they came
to this country.
In this respect. we'll have 1t
easier than they did, because we
are better equipped than they were,
and we will have the benefit OF
agencies and leaders trained in ad-
ministering a life in these new
surroundings, wherever they may
be-"
