JAZZ BEACH" BABE
HELD 6 MOS. OLD
Examination of Bones Made
Reveals 1t Was Not
StiII.Born.

Careful scientific study by two au-
thorities in the government service
has brought the identical opinion that
the skull bones and hair from the
baby buried in a towel at Jazz
Beach" last May indicate the infant
was about six months old. Further
scientific study of the jaw bone Is to
be made. probably tomorrow. which,
these authorities say, should deter
mine more positively the age OF the
infant.
Bones Examined.
Two sections Of the parietal bones
were submitted yesterday by Crandal
Mackey, former commonwealth attor-
ney, to Dr. Walter Hough, acting
head curator of the National Museum,
and to Maj. James F. Coupal. Army
surgeon and curator OF the Army
Medical Museum.
Both of these authorities, after care
full study. gave a tentative opinion
that the baby was not stillborn, as
the coroner's jury had decided. but
that its probable age was about six
months.
Both Dr. Hough and Maj. Coupal
today stated that they are to make a
more careful study of the jawbone,
at the request of Mr.. Mackey. and
from measurements and advancement
in the jaw they can reach decision
which will be more matter-of-fac
than opinion, and then they will be in
position to make bolder state
ment regarding the age Of the baby.
Believed Killed.
Encouraged by this tentative opin-
ion of these experts that the baby
was not still-born, but was killed and
then buried in the sands of Jazz
beach, Mr.. Mackey Is in Culpeper
county today making an investiga-
tion, by which he hopes to discredit
the theory of the county authorities
that the child was still-born and dis
posed of "in the usual way"
DIR. Hough said today that when the
two pieces of the baby's skull were
brought to him by Mr.. Mackey he
laid them before his assistants in the
division of physical anthropology.
where. after consultation. a decision
was reached that from the scanty ma
terial before them 1t seemed the child
was something less than six months
old. This decision was given only
with the greatest caution as to the
age" DR.. Hough explained. He said,
however. that when the jawbones
are examined "a more positive judg-
ment will be given"
