CELLMATE'S STORY
.STUNS SCHROEDER

Previous tc the announcement by
Winkler, Schroeder maintained a
regular appetite and had chatted
with Jail attendants about the food
and weather. Since reading the
story, though, Schroeder has been
silent, moping in his cell in federal
row.
Important developments in the
case were forecast today by author
tiles.
From reliable sources it was
learned that investigators are work
ing on double theory in the case,
one angle of which is that the man
found dead in the car was murdered
for money, either obtained in bet
ting at the Speedway race or
through an alleged robbery probably
by the dead man.
Schroeder is held on murder and
arson charges, with evidence
authorities say, to support the the
DRY that he desired to leave body
in the car so his wife, Mrs. Leah
Schroeder might claim money from
insurance companies.
Although authorities would not
say what developments might be
expected, there were several hur-
ried conferences today between Of
ficials who have been working on
the case.
When Schroeder left home he had
very little money, but probers have
learned that he carried large num-
Der of bills shortly before and after
the race, they said.

MAIL FLIER'S BODY
IS FOUND IN UTAH

safety, his body was found last night
by Major Richard Mcdonald, rela-
tive, who kept up the search
through the months in face of re-
peated setbacks.
Graham, the aviator who found
the Lost Battalion in the World
war, fought his way twenty miles
from the wrecked plane before sue
cumbing to the blizzard, but the
tragically ironical direction he took
was away from instead of toward
civilization.
Today the body was borne down
the mountain trails toward Cedar
City, where a mail plane awaits TO
fly it to Los Angeles and the wife
who would not believe her aviator
husband was dead.
Mcdonald found Graham where
he had crunpled with exhaustion
in Zion canyon, thirty-two miles
from here and twenty miles from
the airplane he had left with a
laconic entry in his log, which read.
January 10-Forced landing
Destination unknown"
Later today, one of Graham'S all
mail pilot pals will break the news
to Mrs. Graham that her husband
died trying to fly the mail through
and that the search is ended.

in the case in which he is charged

Harold Herbert Schroeder neared

days ago, it was learned today.
Sheriff George Winkler Saturday
announced he received word from
Mobile, Ala, where the murder Sus-
pect formerly lived and was cap
tured. which bolstered the police
theory that Schroeder murdered the
man whose body was found in the
flaming car.
A few minutes before supper was
served at the Jail Saturday night,
Schroeder was given a copy of The
Times which carried the story re-
lating that Winkler had information
that Schroeder told R. L., Jones of
