Car and Five Decomposed Bodies

chasing wild stories of accidents, vio-
le1ce and deaths, but one came over
the wire last night that local newspa-
permen refrained from extending them
selves about.
Chief George Wilson received last
evening a terephone message from
Chief Manning of the Greenfield po-
lice asking news of an automobile ac-
cident in which five persons had been
killed on the road between Brattleboro
and Greenfield.
Chief Manning reported that a story
was being told in Greenfield, credited
to an automobilist, that the automo
bilist had experienced blowout while
driving from Brattleboro to Greenfield
As he stopped his ear at the side OF
the road to make repairs he chanced
to look over a steep bank, he said
and saw an overturned car He went
down to it and was Mortified to fine
five decomposed bodies under it.
That word decomposed saved long
hunt by officials, for all agreed that il
was not within the bounds of proba
bility for such a condition to exist OF
