1937 Financial Instruction TRAILER TINTYPES SOCIETY BURGLAR SUSPECT HELD MAN SHOOTS AUNT, THEN KILLS SISTER NEW BRITISH TANK TESTED AT WESTPORT WESTFIELD, N. Dec. 14 A A six-ton military juggernaut, destined for tile British Tank Corps, roared across Westfield Airport today at 51 miles an hour In an American Automobile Association The tank is the latest and perhaps the final creation ot J. Walter Oiristie. 70-year-old American inventor who built tanks during the World War for the U.

S. Army. "I'm satisfied." said the white-haired man watching four runs along the 110-yard course. "She has all the speed I thought she tiad, and all the power. There's nothing else like her." "She" was an ominous-looking engine of destruction squat, only four feet high, with the driver in an airplane seat, watching a gently rolling meadow flash toward him through tiny slits in a cone of steel.

He steered with hand dutches, and controlled the throttle of his 430-horsepower Curtis-Wright airplane engine with his foot. The engine was mounted in the rear, back out of the way of harm from frontal fire, and armored, like all the rest of the machine, with 11-16-inch steel.

Ne New Infennafiea Hospital physicians would not permit Miss Griffin to be questioned until late today.

Montgomery County detectives said she was able to give them no new information. Fred R. Kingman, a New York advertising executive, who said Mrs. Carpenter was his close friend, came here to assist in the search and conferred with detectives at Norris-town. He said he learned of the death last night when he tried to telephone the Carpenter home and found telephones out of order.

The killer got a ride to a suburban railroad station and was reported to have boarded a train. Charles Belz. a resident of the North Penn Valley, notified the district attorney's office at Norristown that a man apparently drunk, had boarded the train shouting "I love women." He was put off.

Mrs. Carpenter's body was found on the threshhold of the bedroom, fully clothed and still wearing the squirrel coat she had on when she came in the house.

Police said she apparently had not been attacked. Miss Griffin told police that atone time during the struggle while Mrs. Carpenter was trying to assist her, the man shouted: "I don't care about anything. My father killed two men and my mother killed one. too.

I'm not afraid." 3 KILLED, MANY WOUNDED IN FILIPINO VOTING MANILA.
