MURDER FARM
EYE SOCKET
FOUND
BY international News Service


LOS ANGELES, Calf. Sept. 81.
A fragment Of human bone, said to
contain a complete eye socket, was
the bit of evidence to which authori-
ties today pinned their hopes for
clinching the murder charges
against Gordon Stewart Northcott,
asserted proprietor of the Wineville
murder farm.
The bone unearthed from one Of
the quicklime graves on the chicken
ranch had undergone an extensive
microscopic study by j. Clark
Sellers. criminologist, who an.
nounced that the fragment shows
the effects of some bone disease.
AS a result of this announce
ment the bone will be submitted to-
all physicians who might have
attended either the Collins or Wins
low boys, believed to be victims
of the alleged wholesale butchery
on the farm.
Envelopes q Clue
Criminologists also disclosed that
scraps of torn envelopes found in
the ranch house were seemingly
identical with envelopes used by the
Winslow boys when they wrote
home and told their frantic parents
that "everything's fine" The sta.
tionery talIies in size, color and
texture investigators said.
Young Sanford Clark in his as
founding tale of activities on the
Northcott farm told officers that
Northcott had forced the Winsiow
brothers to write the letters received
by their parents. while they were
being held prisoners at the ranch.
Struggling between his love as
father and the responsiveness OF the
alleged atrocities committed on the
ranch. Cyrus George Northcott,
father of the so.called ape-man. told
authorities he would refuse to as
sist his son In fighting extradition
from British Columbia. but that he
would help him when the trial came.
Exhibiting gnarled and work.worn
hands. the elder Northcott cried
from his wife.
stewart never helped me earn
living. All that he or his mother
have in this world was earned by
these old hands. The chicken ranch
was good joke. 1t was a failure
from the beginning. but. but-after
all, and the bent man choked,
After all he is my son, and I'll do
what, l can to help him."
Queried on Acids
Another unlocked for development
appeared in the case. 1t was the
assertion OF physician who lived
near the Northcott's Los Angeles
home. that Stewart had once asked
him II acid would destroy human
bodies.
The physician told him that quick.
lime was sometimes used by Grim
inals to eliminate the buried bodies
OF their victims. Northcott inquired
II water wasn't necessary. The
physician IL said TO have replied
that there II generally enough
moisture In the earth to cause &C.

Federal examiners who sit with dis

country's Institutions are admitted.
In a Kansas town some years ago
a group of farmers were discussing
the warm, dry weather, the preya-
lence of grasshoppers and their dam
age to the newly sprouting wheat.
Judge Williams was passing the group,
and was laughingly asked to issue an
order for the weather man to be lit

this incident:
"Over at La Crosse the other day

mainly due to changes in the direction

In the distribution Of air over the sur
