ATTACHED TO
BASTR0P CASE
Path0logist Says Bodies Could
Not Have Been in Water
More Than 48 Hours
DEBATE RESPONSIBILITY
ku klux Investigates Claim
That klan Is Not Respon-
sible For Outrage

New Orleans, La. Oct. 31.-Mys.
ftery surrounding the Morehouse
parish kidnapping cases, was deepen.
ed today by story published in the
Times Picayune in which DR.. Charles
W. Duval, path ologist, who conducted
the autopsy on the two mutilated
bodies taken from Lake La Fourche
last December and identified as
those of Watt Daniel and T. F. Rich.
ards, who were kidnapped by a hood
ed band on August "a, 1922, on the
Bastrop-Mer Rouge highway was de-
clared to have told the newspaper
last night that the bodies could not
have, been in the. water more than
4s hours if that long.
DR.. Duval's statement, the news
paper stated, had been corroborated
by DR.. John A. Lanford, pathologist
of Tuland University, who assisted
DR.. Duval in performing the autopsy.
The newspaper quoted both patholo-
gists as saying that the bodies were
those of the kidnapped men.
Governor Parker of Louisiana has
repeatedly stated that the Moreh ouse
parish Ku Klux Klan was responsible
for the kidnapping and alleged mur-
der of Daniel and Richards while
members of the Morehouse Klan or
ganization have charged that the
bodies found in the lake we're not
those of the two Mer Rouge men
but that they "were planted there
shortly before discovery in order to
faster discovery on the Klan"; that
the bodies were taken from a St.
Louis medical college and placed in
the lake has been charged by Capt,
X. Skipwith, exalted cyclops of
the parish Klan.
Testimony In Atlanta
DR.. Duval made his statement
when he was asked regarding testiI
mony in Atlanta in the Ku Klux
klan receivership suit that an in
vestigator who visited Morehouse
parish had said that the bodies iden.
titled as thase of Richards and DAN
lei had been spread eagled" on q
log wagon and their heads thus
crushed off.
DR.. Duval said such procedure
might have crushed the victims
heads or mashed off their feet but
this could not have been the method
by which their bones from head to
foot had been SO systematicall
broken at four inch intervals.
When asked concerning the report
that he had stated that he found dur.
ing the autopsy that the bodies
could not have been in the lake long.
er than 48 hours Dr.. Duval said that
their condition>would be self-evident
to any pathologist that they had not
been there longer than that time. !.

half of this city, where the Rhine

serts that if the police. were given
permission to use firearms they
could soon ,oust the Separatists.
The attitude Of the radicals is ex-
planned on the ground that the party,
as such, is in neither a strategic nor
financial position to offer strong op-
position. and also because its with
drawal from the present coalition
under the present circumstances
would constitute pronounced con-
cession to the communists in Sax

WOULD UNRAyEL TANCLE

WOULD UNNAV Ell TANGLE
London, Oct. 31.-Europe is to
make another effort to unravel the
everlasting reparation tangle. The
British government decided 20 accept
the French premier's reservations
and the British charge d'affaires at
Washington was instructed by cable
tonight to inform Secretary Hughes
of the decision Of the powers to en-
ter = conference of experts such as
Mr. Hughes suggested in his reply to
Foreign Secretary Curzon's plea for
American participation.
If all goes we'll, this commission
OF inquiry will be started before the
overseas premiers leave London, and
it is hoped that in spite of frances
severe restrictions it may lead to a
larger plenary conference on the
whole European situation, at Wash
ineton or elsewhere, in which the
powerful neutral nations like the
United States may make tNeix.yeices
heard. fea
> Fexrs U. s. Withdrawal
Sir John Bradbury, the British re-
paration delegate, whose opinion on
Frances terms for the experts con-
ference was sought, informed the
British government today that while
some of the conditions would sharp
ly limit the scope Of the conference,
he felt that Great Britain could rot
take the responsibility of ute l;ng a
2cremptory mo" to France and risk
the loss of Americas participation.
There is strong desire among
British government officials that the
experts committee shall have an
American chairman, whose neutrality
and disinterestedness they feel would
insure a greater measure of impair
6ality and justice in the committees
decisions. They would welcome as
the American member, it is said
financier of such international
standing as>J. P. Morgan, or a law
yer of such reputation and foreign
experience as Roland w. Boyden or
Paul Cravath.
Japan will be invited to JOIN in the
discussions of the expert committee.
The British believe that Japan's de-
tachment from the immediate affairs
of Europe will enable the Japanese
member also to take an objective,
unbiased view Of the reparations
problems and. with the American
delegate, exercise moderating orI
even mediating influence upon the
discussions.
