In Washington that morning: that
both his legs had been severed from
his body and that he had died a
short time afterward in hospital
Alders parents believed the re-
port to be true. His sister. Mrs Bessie

Linville. to be present when funeral
should take place. while his brother
in-law. Diehl Rhinehart of Frederick,
Md, went to Washington to accom-
panv the body to Linville, together
with other relatives who were going to
Washington that afternoon.
Arriving in the Capital City, Mr..
Rhinehart was unable to find Alder
or to learn whether he was dead or
alive. He visited the mans board
ing place, the hospitals, and the di-
vision of the health department where
deaths are registered, but could ger
