Geoghan followed up the
jufist's lead by assigning Assist
ant District Attorney McGuin-
ness 10 interview FiloSa in his
cell in an attempt 70 obtain the
truth from him. Good-natured
McGuinness easily gained the
prisoners confidence.
Meanwhile the father OF the
murdered boy naturally came
in for close scrutiny. He said
he loved Salvatore and could
not understand the eslecp-walk-
ing story of Michael, whom he
admired and liked.
Carroll then visited Michaers
half-sister, Catherine. who had
been put in custody OF the
ChildrenS Society. She had
grown thin, haggard and
Jumpy, and the strange fear in
her eyes on the night OF the
tragedy had not left her. At
PENDANTS at the home said she
was subject TO terrifying night
mares and would wake up
screaming.
Three months passed. And
then. as In many battling mys-
terieS, the first break came
from an unexpected source. An
elderly man walked into police
headquarters and asked for De-
tective Carroll.

Challenge in Title

Philip Wylie. who writes the
foreword 10 the book, also saw
the challenge in the title. He
says:

and slash three people In the
sDace Of 10 minutes. He en-
tered the house a few minutes
past IL and the murder was
committed around n quarter
past. Pretty fast work, even
for n sleepwalker."
So Carroll went out 20 find
these two answers-the motive
and how the murder could be
committed so swiftly.
He learned that Filosa was
Mrs. De Halls son by a former
marriage. the father having died
when Michael was a baby. Two
years later Michael's mother
married John De Hall. an auto
mechanic. This marriage was
unSuccessful-De Hall couldn't
get along with his tempermen-

spells of moody silence and then
burst out in fiery RACES. Two
children were born 10 them
Catherine and Salvatore; but in

therapeutic agent has been impos-

Family Of 4 Found
Dead Of Suffocation

By the Associated Press.
HIGHLANDS, N. j., April "a
family of four was found dead last
night in their five-room bungalow,
victims of suffocation in an effort
to keep warm.
Police Chief Howard Monahan
identified the dead as Mr.. and Mrs.
Karl X. Anderson and their two
children, Rudolph, 8, and Alice
Marie, 7.
Chief Monahan said Mr.. Anderson,
a dredge captain employed at the
naval munitions depot at nearby
Leonardo, had brought his family
here from Myrtle Beach, S. c., and
had occupied the bungalow Wednes-
day.
Anthony Romandetti, owner of the
property, noticed strange odor and
summoned Chief Monahan. The
chief said he almost was knocked
out by the fumes.
They returned with Fire Captain
William Kohlenbush, donned gas
masks and made their way inside the
home. The temperature was I'M
bearably hot, Chief Monahan said
All the gas burners were lit and an
oil stove in the living room was
burning. The windows were locked
and thermometer had burst at
10 degrees.
Monmouth County Physician Harry
w. Hartman said the Andersons had
been dead since Wednesday.

Stock Prices Narrow
And Irregular in
Quiet Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, April 8-It was a
sandwich stock market today,
sliced in between the good Friday
holiday and Easter, and, while in
vestment buying propped many
favorites, small losses for leaders
were plentiful.
Few customers showed up in the
financial sector, the ma jority having
left Thursday for an extended re-
cess, but those who appeared seemed
bullish over political prospects and
the earnings outlook despite mount
ing taxes and other charges. The
hopeful war picture In Russia anc
the Pacific was offset as a market
factor by murky Indian and Italian
situations.
The imitation stimulant was neu.
tralized to some extent by the Presi-
dents report on the sterilization Of
wages and living costs. Steels anc
other groups had to contend with
threats of man-power shortages.
Mixed tendencies prevailed at the
start and trends were trifle uneven
near the close, with plus signs vel
distributed. Out-of-toWn orders &C.
counted for pickup in activity

the two hours were around 40000(
shares. Scattered rails, rubbers, mo.
tors and specialties did fairly we'll
