Saline Airport hangar. The intruder showed no interest in valuables
but most have been after incriminating evidence, Sheriff Erwin
Klager said.
George Weins, administrator for
the estate of Rudolph Schumaier,
owner of the airport who was killed
in the crash, reported to Klager
that someone had broken into the
hangar during the night.
Sheriff Klager and Detective
Sergeant Harry Hcgan found one
hinge of a hangar door sawed
through.
None cf the several valuable
pieces of equipment was disturbed.
Attempts to lift fingerprints in the
hangar were -unsuccessful, Hogan
said.
There is little or no chance that
the alleged thief would have been
scared away before they had a
chance to take anything as the
airport is not guarded or visited at
night.
Whoever entered the building
must have been acquainted with
it, Hogan said.
A person entering a strange
building at night will grope along
the walls and furniture detectives
report.
If a person is acquainted with a
building they can usually enter it
in the dark and find their way
around without touching anything
they do not wish to.
Sheriff Klager has suspected foul
play in the death of Schumaier'
and William Beardsley, 49, Tecumseh, since they died in the plane

Investigation of the crash was
spurred by several reports that
someone had been shooting at
Schumaier for a couple of weeks
prior to the accident.
A check of the engine in tiie
plane, which quit while in flight
had been in perfect mechanical
condition.
Further investigation will be
