STOLEN BODY OF COLLINS
RETURNED TO CAVE BIER
Remains of Subterranean Victim
Found Same Day of Theft-Mo-
tive Puzzles Cavern Owner.

By the Associated Press.
HORSE CAVE, KY, March 20.-The
body of Floyd Collins, who died after a
17-day battle to save his life when he
was trapped in Sand Cave in 1925, to-
day again rested in its bronze and glass
casket in Crystal Cave after its theft
and recovery yesterday. DR.. H. B.
Thomas, owner of Crystal Gave, said
an investigation now under way would
be pushed until the thieves were ap-
pretended.
The body, which DR.. Thomas says has
become completely mummified since its
burial in Crystal Cave, was missed early
yesterday morning. Aid of sheriffs of
three counties was sought and yester-
day afternoon the body was found on
the banks Of Green River, wrapped in
burlap sack, about 400 yards from
entrance to the cave.
DR.. Thomas is at a loss to account
Tor the motive Of the thieves. He saws
he has no doubt that they expected to
return to the river bank for the remains
OF the mountaineer cave explorer later.
