The new Senator from North

Senator Lennon was assigned

Reporters asked his views on
Washington home rule and other

study such questions before he
took any definite position.
Senator Lennon was appointed

found that a prowler could gain
entrance to the hotel.
Police were told that on June
10, a tall, thin man described
by the switchboard operator as
yellow skinned" walked by her
through the lobby in stocking
feet.
What are you doing here?"
she wanted to know.
What do you think?" was his
response and he kept right on
walking out the door.
Police were called on that oc-
casion but found nothing miss
ing.
Detectives issued a 15-State
lookout for the July 4 prowler,
on the possibility that he was
the killer. Their description was
based on what the fourth-f floor
roomer saw as she stood in her
doorway watching the man flee
ing down the corridor:
"A light-skinned Negro or
dark-skinned white man, 5 feet
IL inches to 6 feet tall. slender,
wlry, well-dressed, wearing a
white shirt and light-colored
trousers. from Is to 30 years Of
age"
Personal Angle.
AS more and more police went
to work on the case, the roundup
of possible suspects broadened.
Known housebreakers, perverts,
sex offenders, peeping toms, cat
burglars were picked up and
questioned. A crew of detectives
went from house-to-house in an
overwhelming circle from SCOTS
Hotel at 2131 o street NV.
/ Theirs was a dual purpose: To
find if any one had noticed any,
thing suspicious. To size up the
residents as possible suspects
themselves.
But the possible personal mo-
tive for silencing Miss Taggart
was not overlooked. Police had
to learn something about her,
how she spent her time, the iden-
tity of her friends and acquaint-
anceS, the financial problem re-

Worker Dies in Collision
Of Two Railroad Cars

A construction 1irm employe
was fatally injured in a collision
of two railroad cars along the
Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad at a materials yard at
Washington boulevard and Glebe
road yesterday. Arlington police
reported.
The victim was identified as
Kenneth Stoneburger, 81, of
Stanley, Va, who had been stay
ing at a construction camp on
South -Four Mile Run drive.
Police said Mr.. Stoneburger
had just finished unloading Gin
ders from a gondola when a

required and Miss Taggart's key
was in her purse. Therefore,
police say, since the door had
been opened earlier and was now
locked, the killer could not have
left by the door.
The police do not believe the
murderer entered by the win
dows. The screen could have
been jiggled loose from the out
side but the noise would have
awakened Miss Taggart.
Also. if some one had . stood
outside the window and sue
ceeded in loosing the screen, he
would have placed it some dis
tance from the window so as
not to block him from crawling
in. On the other hand, if the
screen had been detached by a
person standing inside the win
dow. the easiest and quietest way
to deal with it would have been
to lower it so that it leaned
against the wall directly against
the window - the way it was
found.
Question Unanswered.
That left unanswered the
question of how the prowler en-
tered the hotel. There were three
possible methods: He could have
slipped in the front door behind
a resident who did not make
certain that the door clicked shut
behind her after it was locked
for the night. Or he could have
gotten in through the street door
to the auditorium, which is sup
posed to stay locked but might
not have been locked that night.
Or he could have found the
tradesmen's entrance to the alley
unlocked. This entrance is con-
nected by a buzzer system to the
switchboard but it, too, could
have been closed carelessly. Two
stairways to the upper floors are
within easy access of this alley
entrance.

orator on duty with a clear view
of the lobby-and she was not
on duty after midnight-police

Senate D. {. Group
Votes 10 Hold lis Own
Transit Investigation

The Senate District Commit
tee has decided to make it's own
separate investigation of the
transportation concerns serving
the National Capital, if the Sen
ate will give it the money needed
to do the job.
Chairman Case late yesterday
reported a resolution, unani-
mously backed by members OF
his committee, authorizing the
investigation and asking the
Senate to grant $4,000 to cover
the costs.
This resolution was referred
to the Senate Rules Committee
which must approve the move
before the Senate can provide
the necessary financing out o1
the Senate contingent fund.
The action was taken when il
appeared rather certain that
the House was not going to ap-
prove an earlier joint resolution
adopted by the Senate, propos-
ing $4,000 for an inquiry by
both the House and Senate
District Committees.
This joint resolution has been
before the House Rules Com
mittee for some weeks, although
Chairman Simpson of the House
District Committee appeared
there to urge it's approval.
If the separate Senate resolu-
ton is adopted, the Senate Dis
trict Committee will hire a group
of expert accountants and engi-
neers to go into the fiscal and
management policies Of the COM
mon carriers operating in the
District as well as into the
powers and regulations used by
the Public Utilities Commission
in governing the operations and

Who Killed Ace Toggar One Clue May Solve the Mystery

f1ected in the papers in her room.
John" and "Lee"-the two
men whose name appeared in
these documents-were located.
John" told police that Lee"
had introduced him to Miss Tag
CART. Lee" had already told
Miss Taggart that John" had to
have some money and would pay
her back $500 in three months
for the $400 she loaned him. The
three met twice for lunch and
the loan was arranged.
Police said the two men ad-
mitted splitting the $400. They
insisted they had planned to pay
it back but didn't have it when
she got out of the hospital and
asked for it.
John" told of meeting Miss
Taggart for an early lunch on
July 4, meeting her at her Office
and taking her back after lunch.
He said she agreed to settle for
the original $400 if he could pay
her back 500 month for four
months.
Police found nothing to i'm
plicate the men with murder and
released them.
Lee" told of having dates with
Miss Taggart but police had a
hard time finding any others
with whom she had gone out.
Fellow roomers said they knew
she did go out. Once she called
from a cocktail lounge and asked
one of the girls to join her for a
double date. But none of the
girls ever saw a man come to
the hotel to take her out. They
could furnish no leads.
Never Specific.
Her sister, here to help in the
investigation, couldn't help there
either. In her frequent letters,
the sister said, Miss Taggart
mentioned going to this place or
that but she was never specific
about the man.
From fellow roomers and fell
low workers. police drew the
same picture: A woman who was
self-contained and self-reliant,
always ready to join in a con-
verSation but never one to talk
about her troubles. A friendly
woman. well-informed and pleas
ant with many acquaintances
and few close friends.
Said one acquaintance: "She
walked alone"
A look at her finances con-
vinced police that the loan to
John" was an isolated Incl
dent. She had a few hundred
dollars in the bank, no checking
account as far as has been
learned and a few hundred dol
lars worth of bonds.
AS far as murder stemming
from some aspect of her per-
sonal life is concerned, police
have reached a blank wall.
Treated as prowler murder,
the Taggart case can only be
solved by the process of picking
up, questioning, releasing and
picking up more possible sus-
poets. ~ r%
$1,000 Reward.
There is $1,000 in reward
money for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of
the killer. Now the police are
looking to the citizens to remem-
ber a half-forgotten incident, to
be added eyes for the police, to
report any scrap of information
If you saw some one lurking
in an alley or creeping up fire
escape lately, or someone who
suddenly and without eXplana-
ton quit his job or left town. or
a suspicious character answering
the description of the July 4th
prowler, or some one with blood
on his clothes, or you had some
experience yourself with proWl-
er lately, tell the police.
These scraps of information
may help police find the killer.
