Hunt For Companion Of Slain Lawyer Start
DETROIT UP solution to one of Detroit's most mysterious murders that of Howard Carter. Dickinson, wealthy New York lawyer, sought a man under multiple aliases believed to be William Lee Ferris or William Sweitzer or James Taylor. Ferris is linked to Dickinson's murder scene after leaving the Book Cadillac hotel shortly before Carter's body was found. A worthless $3 check and a taxi-driver confession led police to Ferris, described as about 5'7" and 150 pounds, 33 years old. The motive appears robbery connected to a claim on the estate of lumber magnate H. Yawkey, with Dickinson tied to Charles Evans Hughes Jr. in the case. A briefcase left at the Book Cadillac is noted but deemed unimportant amid broader developments.
