Few Clues Left by Bandit
Who Shot Stevens at
Quantico.
Posses of arnud men were scouring
the woods and roads in the vicinity of
Quantico today in an effort to find
the murderer of I.ester J. L. Stevens,
25-year-o!d taxicab agency proprietor
at Quantico. whose body was found
beside hit- car not far from the Marine
Corps post yesterday morning with
three bullet holes through it.
Bloodhounds from the District penal
institutions at Occoquan. which were
rushed to the scene of the crime yes
terday b> M. M. Barnard, superin
tendent, failed to strike a fresh trail
because of the heavy downpour of
rain, and the dogs therefore were
taken back to the penal institutions.
Mnlnnl Shirt Is Clue.
The only clue which the of
ficers turned up yesterday afternoon
was the finding, about a mile from the
scene of the murder, of a blood
stained shirt wrapped around a bot
tle tilled with a drug. The authori
ties are trying to identify the owner
of the clothing, spurred on by the
statements of doctors that the blood
on the clothing was the same as that
found on the front seat of the car.

A feature of the hold-up was the*
fact that $795 In bills in the, hip

is estimated that the perpetrators of
the crime got away with about SIOO

It was known hereabouts that
Stevens was in the habit of carrying
large sums of money with him on
his trips, and it is the theory of the
Investigators that someone who had
learned of this habit engineered the
