coroners jury had found that
Mount came to his death at the
hands Of some person or persons un-
known" and grand jury had investi-
gated the mysterious disappearance
Of the student without results, Is be-
lieved to be one Of the strongest
clues unearthed since the inveStiga-

lieved TO be that of Mount, was found
Traced to Arizona.
I'VE traced Rouw TO Arizona"
Wharton said. 'and told authorities
to communicate with him and have
him tell the states attorneys Office
whether he knew anything about the
Mount case. The message today was
our first response.
His statement that he can identify
at least four persons involved would
make 1t appear he was an eye-w1t-

lake in an automobile with friend.
while another statement quotes him
as saying he was alone.
Says He Told Police.
Rouw is said to have informed
Evanston police Of what he saw, and
was told by the policeman at the sta
tion that "if We investigated every
time the boys up at the university
played a prank, we'd have no time to
protect the citizens and keep law and
order in Evanston"
