However, both the Slovenian and
the Croatian local authorities re-
fused permission for the transfer of
the Cardinal, who is seriously i'll.
The Federal Government then
offered to give the Archbishop of
Zagreb residence at sanatorium
in Serbia. This the Cardinal declin-
ed, it is said, because he regarded
the offer as lacking sufficient
guarantees for both his security
and for medical treatment.
This is the substance of reports
received in the Trieste Free Ter
ritory following the examination
of the ailing Cardinal by a four
man medical team sent by the Bel
grade government.
The medical commission sub
stantially confirmed the diagnosis
made by the Cardinals physician,
DR.. Riessner. They found that the
Cardinal is suffering from a cir
culatory disorder with severe phle-
bits Cinflamation of the vein) of
the right leg, complicated by pull

New signs of leniency are espe-

prisoned Cardinal Mindszenty and
Archbishop Joseph Groesz, greater
facilities for religious instruction
and non-interference with religious

This complete change in Com

been fathered by Donald Maclean,
former high official of the British
Foreign Office, who vanished mys-
teriously several years ago. He is
said to be advising the Reds.

NE, stopped by the A street
address. He and Daniels worked
together on a construction job.
It was payday, and the two set
out to collect their pay. En- route,
Daniels handed Williams the gun
and told him to get it "out Of
the way for the time being"
He did not tell the story behind
the gun. With some reluctance
Williams had been in trouble
once and had promised his wife
never to get into trouble. again
Williams took the gun.
Saturday night, Williams and
his wife were lounging around
the house, listening to the radio.
A news commentator gave an ac-
count Of Willie Stewards arrest.
William had known Stewart cas-
ually through Daniels.
When the news was given, Mrs.
Williams leaped from her chair.
did you hear that?" she
asked.
Williams had heard, and his
mind had become busy.
Saw Picture in Papers.
Without mentioning the gun
to his wife, Williams went to bed.
He spent a restless night, and
early Sunday drove to Four
teenth street and Park road and
bought three newspapers.
There was Willie Stewards pic
ture.
Williams hurried to Daniels
home. He demanded to know If
the gun had been used in the
killing. Daniels said he didn't
think so. Williams asked Daniels
to take back the gun.
What did you do with it?"
Daniels asked.
II buried it in the back yard"
Williams replied.
IF it's buried, let it stay
buried" Daniels said.
After hearing the story, 1t.
Hartnett, Sergt. Crooke, Sergt.
Talbot and Sergt. Mark Gray
took Daniels to Williams home.
Sergt. Talbot and Sergt. Gray
went to the rear. Daniels and the
other two policemen stepped onto
the porch. Daniels knocked.
The door opened, and all three
men pushed inside.
Where's the package I gave
you to keep for me?" Daniels
asked.
What package are you talking
about?" Williams asked nervous
ly, eyeing the policemen. II don't
know what package you mean.
Gun Dug Up in Yard
1t. Hartnett, told Williams:
"Cut the stalling. We came to
get the gun he gave you. Let's

it up"
Williams led the detectives out
side and dug up the gun from
a pile Of ashes.
The weapon, a .38-caliber
nickel-plated breakdown model,
rusted with age. was sent to the
FBI for balliStics tests.
FBI technicians reported that
the test bullet and the slug from
Mr.. Honikman'S body had been
fired from the same gun.
1t. Hartnett emphasized that
the gun was not one which would
go off accidentally. The trigger,
he said, had to be pulled delib-
erately to make the pistol fire.
At this point Stewards wife
told detectives her husband had

When the story of Mr.. Honik-

of his who lived in the next
block. He said he'd better go
see what kind Of trouble the
friend was in.
Detectives found a skylight in
the bathroom. Leading to it
was a series of steps built into
a wall.
Climbed to the Roof.
Stewart had climbed to the
roof. 1t. Hartnett said, and gone
down into the home next door
through another skylight. While
he was on the second floor, he
heard Sergt. Crooke below.
Stewart opened a window and
leaped is feet to the ground.
After his arrest, Stewart was
taken to police headquarters,
photographed, fingerprinted and
questioned.
He denied knowledge of the
holdup, said he had no gun and
had never been in the Honikman
store-about four blocks from
his home.
Sergt. Robert Sandburg and
Pvt. Alpheous Masters, mean
time, were at work in the finger
print bureau. They had several
latent fingerprints taken from
the soft drink bottle and the po-
tato chip bag. These were COM
pared with Stewards finger
prints.
after q careful examination,
Pvt. Masters informed us that

Hartnett said.
Stewart maintained his de-
nial.
At 8 pm. Saturday, Edith and
Mrs. Honikman came to police
headquarters to view a special

brightly-lighted stage-he was
the second man to enter-Edith,

Stewart again was questioned.
He continued his denial. This
time he advanced his alibi.
He was at home that night, he
said, playing cards from about
$50 pm. until 2 am. the follow
ing morning. He gave names of
his fellow players. Detectives
brought in the card game parti-

Yes, they agreed, there had

did he leave at any time?"
1t. Hartnett asked.
One of the players said Stew
art left about 9 pm. and came
back to the game about a half
hour later. With him, this man
said, Stewart took a gun.
Stewards denial still was firm.
Another police lineup was held
Sunday. Witnesses picked out
Stewart as the lone gunman who
pulled two other recent holdups.
The principal weight of the
detectives work now centered
on finding the murder weapon.
Gun Was Borrowed.
After intense questioning,
Willis Daniels, q, Stewards
brother-in-law, admitted that he
owned a gun. Stewart, he said,
had borrowed it on several occa-
Sions.
Daniels learned Friday morn
ing. he told police, that Stewart
had taken the gun the day be-
fore-the day of the shooting.
Friday, Stewart told Daniels he
had gotten into some trouble
with the gun. Daniels didn't
believe the story, but Stewart
convinced him with a newspaper

Daniels then decided to get rid

live either at AIS A street NE.

third bit of information came in
an anonymous telephone call,
the nature Of which police would
not disclose.
Armed with this information,
1t. Hartnett and Sergts. Robert
E. Talbot and Bernard E. Crooke
visited Ais A street NE.
Does a man named Stewart
live here?" 1t. Hartnett asked
a colored woman who finally
opened the door.
The woman said no. She said
her name was johnson. Another
colored woman identified herself
as a Mrs. Daniels. Mrs. john

shooting there on Halloween.
The dissatisfied detectives
toured the neighborhood talking
to other residents. They learned
that a family named Stewart
did in reality live at AIS A street
NE.
Suspect u Spotted.
Faced with this information.
Mrs. johnson" admitted that
she was Mrs. Willie Stewart.
but said her husband was not
at home. Sergt. Crooke ques-
toned people next door at alt
A street and was told that a
noise had been heard on the
roof.
This brought the detectives
outdoors for O hasty search.
They failed to spot their man.
Leaving Sergt. Crooke and
Sergt: Talbot to talk with the
family, It. Hartnett got into the
police cruiser and headed toward
East Capitol street.
AS he approached East Capitol
street, he spotted a man who
fitted the bandits description.
At about the same time, the man
saw the police cruiser. He began
to walk more rapidly.
1t. Hartnett braked the cruiser
to a halt, stepped out and tagged
q passing motorist.
Turn the corner" 1t. Hart
nett said. Get me ahead Of
that man."
The motorist, whose name
police never learned, started to
comply. AS they turned the cor
ner, the suspect darted into an
apartment building. The police
officer leaped from the car and
went in pursuit.
Inside the doorway was q long
and deserted hall. At the rear
and to one side was an outside
entrance.
The lieutenant moved onto the
side porch. He saw a man dis
appear around a corner. 1t.
Hartnett followed and saw the
suspect four. yards away. At
the same time, the door at the
side of the building slammed.
The man turned and saw 1t.

tive said. Hold it right there. +"
Stewart admitted his identity.
but told the lieutenant he
couldn't understand why he was
