JOPIJN GLOBE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1848. A ARKANSAS MOUNTAINS COMBED FOR KILLER But Belief Soldier Acciued In Death of State Policeman HM fled Area. Kathryn Tipping Selected as "Miss JopliiT in Contest Harrison, Sept. 28. (If) -There was a growing belief today that an A.

W. O. L. soldier charged slaying an Arkansas State policeman had left the wooded, mountainous area In which the shooting occurred. Still checking numerous leads and rumors, however, a posse continued to comb the north Arkansas section near Yellville where Patrolman S.

V. Pavatt was killed Saturday. Other officers investigated the possibility that Private Kenneth D. Speegle, who Is charged with murder in the patrolman's death, might have made his way into Missouri. At Little Rock, State Police Captain Earl Scroggin said "the best guess" is that Speegle no longer is in the section of the slaying.

An Arrest in Detroit "He would have a better chance of escaping by leaving there and he has had time to do so by now," Scroggin said. Arkansas state police were notified today that a soldier answering the general description of Speegle was arrested in Detroit, but Scroggin expressed doubt that "he is our man." Detroit police furnished the information that the man they had in custody said he was A. W. O. L.

from Ft. Custer, Mich. Speegle was A. W. O.

L. from Ft. Lewis, Wash. "We have to keep checking these leads, though," said Scroggin, adding that an effort would be made to identify the man held at Detroit definitely. Pavatt was shot as he approached a cabin owned by Zue E.

Crook, retired railroad man, while investigating a series of burglaries. Later a posse uncovered the body of Crook, and officers expressed opinion that he was killed by whoever shot the patrolman. Army records at Ft. Lewis showed that Speegle had been A. W.

O. L. since September 3. Speegle, who was in the army about five years and served in the Pacific from May, 1944, to January, 1946, was awarded the Bronze Star, the Victory Medal, one arrowhead for an invasion, the Asiatic-Pacific ribbon and a Philippine Liberation medal.
