This clue is believed to be the running down of an alleged enemy of Kennedy, who may have been the assassin who fired the shot from ambush in Kennedy's lonely cottage in Beverly Glen.
One important development today was the arrest of an alleged auto thief at Barstow, Cal., who abandoned a Mitchell car, stolen on the evening of the murder from 9423 Fountain-ave and found two days later at Santa Monica.
A secret investigation at Santa Monica by Undersheriff Bliscalluz led to the finding of the auto. He telephoned the sheriff's office early...

PIGEON BRINGS CALL FOR HELP
NEW YORK, Aug. 18. — "Notify Dan Singer, Belleclair hotel, New York city. Am lost in Hoodoo mountains, Yellowstone. Send help, provisions, pack horses. Heller."
This message, brot to New York by a carrier pigeon in a 2000-mile flight from the desolation of the Hoodoo range to the bright lights of Broadway, was responsible for the starting of a relief expedition to Tim Dr. Edmund Heller, celebrated explorer and friend of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.

GERMANY CLAIMS DEMANDS TOO HARSH
BERLIN, August 18.—Germany is fighting for modifications in the terms of the proposed treaty with running down of an alleged enemy of Kennedy, who may have been the assassin who fired the shot from ambush in Kennedy's lonely cottage in Beverly Glen.
One important development today was the arrest of an alleged auto thief at Barstow, Cal., who abandoned a Mitchell car, stolen on the evening of the murder from 9423 Fountain-ave and found two days later at Santa Monica.
A secret investigation at Santa Monica by Undersheriff Biscalluz led to the finding of the auto. He telephoned the sheriff's office early today that his investigation would not be concluded before noon and that he would remain away from the office till then.
A defense consultation between R. R. Obenchain and Burch in the county jail was held. This is the first time the husband of the accused woman has talked with Burch regarding their plans for defense.
Obenchain called at the jail early asking that Burch be sent down at once. While waiting for the prisoner to arrive he was asked by newspaper men to reconcile his statement that the murder would be solved in five days and that Paul Schenk, noted criminal attorney, had been retained to handle the case.
"I'll admit it does appear queer," he answered, "but we are not going to overlook anything to protect ourselves."
Obenchain admitted he was working on two important matters today which will do much to clear the defendants.
"I am now ready to get down to hard work," he said. "I have had to spend a few days to get acquainted and learn the situation here."
Burch, while still in excellent spirits, is more serious than he appeared to be at first. When he becomes interested in a discussion of the case he gesticulates vigorously.
