. detectives. We have investigated
all reports and clues, such rs they
we're, to the contrary, and there is
no evidence to substantiatc any
other thcory.D
District Attorney Asa kevcs said
the case was closed as far as his
office was concerned. unless new
and tangible evidence that Mrs. Nc
lhcrson is alive, presents itself.

office, said the prosecutor. we
! feel certain that Mrs. Mcpherson
was accidentally drowned while
bathing in the surf. If any real
evidence is produced indicating she
is alive. we may take further ac-
tion. But we consider it closed
case now, with 10 evidence to sup
port any other than the theory Of
drowning.
