(AP)-Police Chief Edward F. Butler announced today his department and state police were seeking for questioning Harry Parker, who a few days ago told Boston police ne had once filed intentions to wed the slain Mrs. Grayce Asquith. He said then that he had not seen the pretty blonde photographers' model for two years. It was just a week ago that Mrs.

Asquith's legs were found floating in Boston harbor and investigators think that Parker might be able to aid them. Ralph Wallace a cemmercial diver continued meanwhile to explore the bottom of Whitman pond, which abuts the dead woman's property, for possible clues. At the same time, ace detectives sought a husky "mystery man" in their efforts to solve the crime. Investigation turned in that direction with a report from a Weymouth cab driver, Louis Pratt, who told Capt. John F.

Stokes, chief of the Massachusetts state police detectives, that he drove thick-set, dark-complexioned man to the widow's lonely, lakeside cottage Sept. 21. That date was 48 hours after the night police have fixed as the time the widow was slain. "We would like to locate this 'mystery man' for questioning." declared Stokes. Even as the hunt for the "mystery man" opened, a corps of police searched for clues they hoped would lead them to John A.

Lyons, friend of the widow. Whether Lyons, a Boston salesman and war-time aviator, is alive or dead remained uncertain. He disappeared at about he same time as Mrs. Asquith, police say. Stokes, with Boston and Weymouth police, continued to question Oscar Battalini, 50, Quincy chef and odd jobs man about the Asquith cottage.

With chemists directing work, husky policemen ripped up the bloodspattered linoleum and floor boards of the bathroom and the kitchen--both apparently bespattered by blood. In the kitchen, police say, Mrs. Asquith probably met her death, Chunks of flesh found in the drain of the bathroom tub indicate, they insist, that there she was dismembered. Police chemists took to Boston with the linoleum, floor boards and towels, the ashes from the cottage stove and fireplace to determine whether any of the missing parts of Mrs. Asquith's body--her head, arms and torso -nad been burned.

Trio of Hoodlums Flees Indiana Jail INDIANAPOLIS. (AP) Donald F. Stiver, superintendent of Indiana state police, said today department of justice agents had joined a five-state search for three desperate Hoosier hoodlums who escaped yesterday from the Hancock county jail at Greenfield, where they were awaiting trial for murder of an Indianapolis police sergeant "This is a search to the finish," Stiver said. "Every available Indiana state policeman is on the job and will stay on the job until these desperadoes are behind bars again. In addition to the federal agents, state police in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Kentucky are participating in the hunt." He explained the federal agents have jurisdiction in the case because the gunmen last spring transported into Indiana a part of the $35,000 loot obtained in a jewelry store stickup at Lima, on March 19.

The hoodlums, Alfred Brady, 25. James Dahlhover, 29, and Clarence Lee Shaffer, 20, slugged Sheriff Clarence Watson with an iron bar and the butt of a stolen revolver and fired three shots at Ridlen, who came to the sheriff's rescue, in their brazen break for freedom yesterday. One of the shots pierced coat. The fugitive hoodlums, all under five feet six inches and slightly built, stole a 1936 light green sports model sedan from in front of the Greenfield jail. No trace of the automobile had been found early today.
