He was afraid he would be blamed for

time after by the police. In the mean
time. Mr.. Haganbaugh had reported his
sons disappearance. and he also gave
a description of the lad which diff

Kovaek. Thus when the body was re-

The police, however. after continued
questions wrung a confession from
young Kovack which cleared up the
mystery.
The dead boy had recently been en-
