rt retched today for the bogus doctor who fled the city after the discovery of the murder of Louise Lawson. the young music student, and whose name and record the police have. The Kasle alone told yesterday of the search for this man and with very passing; hour his identity Is being thrust more and more prominently Into tho foreground. All the efforts of the police arc now centering on tho country-wide hunt for liim and other clues have faded in perspective as this one is thrown into sharp relief.

This tape was stretched across the dead woman's mouth without being attached to any gag and tho manner of its use suggested at once a man who worked with phy-Hlclan's materials or had some slight smattering of medical knowledge.

The pseudo physician had a suitv of offices In the Times Square neighborhood and lived in an apartment on the Grand Concourse. Ho had also, at various times, lived in the more expensive hotels. He disappeared while the hue and cry was on and the police, who watch thoso things, noted tho fact. The principal suspect assumes side whiskers. The other man is a young man, rougher looking, with light hair and about 28 years of ago.

The police found a memorandum book In tho dead woman's apartment with a number of names in It and they are looking up these acquaintances of Miss Iawson tn search or further light 011 ln-r circle of friends. A number of well-to-do men have been questioned and asked through whom they kept align Law-son's apartment supplied with wt rcoods. -The- tsHwto-ii' assembled a lot of information hich they have not disclosed.
