finds suspects
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Dale Murray was
bound, gagged and tortured for three hours, but he
died without telling his killers where his money
was hidden, police said.
A check of the woman s known associates led to
matches for the other two sets of prints lifted
from the murder scene. They were Rudolph Mitch
ell, 33, and Jacqueline Hale, 24.

Three sets of fingerprints were found, but detec-
tives had no names of suspects to compare prints.
It might have gone down as just another unsolved
murder, except for ALPS.

and the love that was.
Then they gaze at the grotesque stone faces on
the west side and think of Harry Herley and his
love that never was to be
It has been more than 80 years since sculptor
Harry Herley unceremoniously departed Waxaha-
chie — most townfolks agree he was run out. Yet
the young artisan left a lasting impression with
his chisel and hammer on the pride of the county,
the Ellis County Courthouse.
Herley came to the county about 1896 to carve
works of art into the red sandstone and granite
courthouse then under construction. Otto Kroeger,
the courthouse contractor, imported Herley and
two other European sculptors to work on the
courthouse.
"They all stayed at Mama Frame's boarding
house. While staying there, Harry Herley fell in
love with her daughter. Mabel," said Mrs Robert
Ruskin, a, local historian and curator of the Ellis
County Museum
Across the street in the town square Mrs. Rus-
kin pointed to an angelic-looking face over the
east entrance of the old courthouse. The legend,
she said, is that Herley modeled this face after his
love. Mabel Frame.
But Herley had fallen in love with one of Wax-
ahachie's most attractive women and he was soon
to be scorned.
At"
"Mabel Frame was the town's telegraph opera-
tor. and she was not in love with Harry Herley,"
said Mrs. Ruskin. "Miss Frame discouraged his
attentions."
"I heard she already had a boyfriend, so he lost
out," said another Waxahachie resident, Jessie
। Delk
The rejected Herley then began carving faces
with a vengeance. Lips were turned into grimac-
ing frowns. Eerie faces, with eyes askew, sneered
at the local citizenry. One grotesque face smiles
dosda through a toothless grin.
-So much for the love of Kerley's life.
- "His unfortunate love affair caused the gar-
goyle-type faces," said Mrs. Ruskin, shaking her
head as she pointed to the faces on the west side.
Hurley's ugly faces apparently were not taken
well by Waxahachie's cotton-rich farmers and cat-
- tiemen who hired him to beautify their court-
house. But nobody knows eactly what happened to
Herley.
Judge Milton Hartsfield, a longtime courthouse
• observer, said, “I don't think anybody really
knows that happened to Herley, It's not written. It
I is just a legend."
Some say he was departed back to Europe. A
few says he was tarred and feathered.
But all the townfolks agree Herely left town
p> quickly.
And Mabel married another man.

That's short for Automated Latent Print Sys-
tem, a newly installed computer that can zip
through thousands of fingerprint records in a
flash.
Fiy
Mitchell was already jailed awaiting trial on A
bank robbery charges. The two women were ar-
rested Tuesday. All three are now facing murder
charges in the Oct. 25 slaying at Murray's Oak-
land apartment.
Normally it would have taken months or years
292 to search known criminals' fingerprint cards for a
k 4 match. But ALPS ferreted out the names of sever-
al* al surly types with similar prints in 10 minutes.
Police Sgt Mike Sitterud pulled the records
and found a perfect match with Yolanda M John-
son. 25, Oakland. She was one of the 75,000 people
with arrest records whose fingerprints had been
fed into the computer.
