St Johnsbury July 1 Mary Hicks the self confessed murderer of little Alien Bradshaw led authorities on another wild goose chase in the search for the eight year old crippled girl’s body. Accompanied by Sheriff Worthen deputies State's Attorney Campbell and a neighboring farmer she indicated a cedar swamp then an old country lane where she claimed the body lay. The party found no body and Hicks later drew a rough map which yielded no results. Family rewards total 300 dollars for the body’s finding. Hicks showed composure at the Bradshaw farm as officers dug and she sobbed, saying she would guide them to the body. Authorities suspect the prisoners are fabricating clues for car rides. The child’s murder is attributed to Hicks and Mrs Kenerson, with a possible third party involved.
