They said that they with two OF the
suit cases, one carried by Crawford, the
other by Howard. started out that night
taking a cab for the North Ferry 10 East
Boston.
They did not dare for the crowd that
was on the ferry boat TO drop over their
burdens on the first trip. so went ashore
at East Boston and rode around for some
time.
1T was on their return trip. and after
they had been out short way from the
slip at the East Boston side. that the
suit case containing the head was thrown
over.
THE suit case which contains the girls
head and which is still 10 be located Is
OF a very small size. as described by the
mother OF the dead girl II was bought
for Susan when she was staying with her
dancing instructor In Boston on Claremont

to have an assistant, and there were
probably two others who handled the IN
struments and such like" added Captain

tive announcement that Paul Coburn
would again be a candidate for the pitch
ing position, and there Is no doubt I'm their

next spring IL came as "A great surprise
10 most Of the men, for they had no idea
that COburn was eligible. After reading
the facts, however. everyone was at once
convinced that he was eligible for another
year.
The interview with Capt. O'Brien OF
Yale. which appeared yesterday morn
ing. was not considered very seriously
at Cambridge. for Capt. O'Brien ap-
parently did not have all the facts before
him. He compares the case with that
OF Foster Rockwell. the Yale quarter
back, but the two cases are not analogous
Rockwell played I'm an intercollegiate
game, while COburn played I'm a game
