being held on a John Doe warrant pending the true identification of the
man, charged with hellflower possession, abduction, illegal restraint,
assault and battery, rape and driving an interstate truck with an
improper license.
"Miss Hannon collapsed after driving the truck to within sight of the
dragnet set out for Farradyne. Her statement will be taken by the Sand

been kept secret by the Sandmen, who are now confident of an early
arrest. Indications are that Hughes or Morgan has turned state's
evidence and is willing to inform on his racket-boss."

She eyed him superciliously. "How long will they believe her after they
discover she's an addict herself?"
"Maybe she isn't."
