been left there only a few minutes
earlier, .
Persons living in the neighborhood
reported to the police that a man
who stepped out of the car, a Ferd,

with them.

was slain fled in this car. The identity
of these men has not been made known.

not know them; nor McGurn, for that
matter,

About 150 visitors called yesterday
to view the body. Many of these
were friends of the Gebardi family
