been trapped in contradictory stories

body of the Schwer boy was found
under a pile of brush with a bullet
hole in his temple.
During ten days, while police, fire
men, Boy Scouts and Army airplanes
searched for trace of the missing
boy his companions stuck to the
story that they had last seen him in the
swamp near his home hunting musk
rats. They even assisted in the search.

they had parted from Schwer and ask
cd which way he had gone. One point
ed in one direction and the other in
ahe opposite.

companions later corroborated. They
said that the five of them had gone
into the swamp with d rifle they had
purchased by mail and that while
taking turns shooting one of their
number discharged the gun before he
intended to and the bullet struck
Schwer in the head. The boys are

sible consequences of the accident,

Schwer to the nearby ash dump, pull
ed his cap over his face, tossed some
brush over the body and then con-
cocted the tale they stuck to for ten
