home of Albert G. Winward. in an isolated section frequented by pet ting parties.
 Medical Examiner Charles H. Bryant of Tiverton, who viewed the body few hours after it was found, declined to express an opin- ion as to the cause of the death on the basis of his preliminary exam ination. He planned to perform an autopsy later to-day. He did not confirm state police reports indicat- ing that Miss Russell had been criminally assaulted.
 Authorities stated a check-up re- vealed that the girl left the hospi- tai in Fall River at o'clock last night to go motoring with her friend Hathaway. So far as police could learn early this afternoon she never was seen alive again.
 Miss Russell, an attractive blonde, was graduated from Rogers high school in Newport in 1928 and since had been attached to Trues- dale hospital.
 Her friends at the Fall River in- stitution said it was not unusual for her to go with young men on n, otor rides such as that which end- ed in her death. She was popular and had many boy friends. they said.
 Miss Russeil's father is superin- tendent of the Weyhouse Lumber rompany of Portsmouth and the family is prominent in local social circles.
 The state police bulletin request ing a widespread search for young Hathaway described him as feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 to 150 pounds, with wavy hair and a mous- tache, and wearing a brown suit, raccoon coat. and grey hat.

Tiverton, R. l., March 24-(UP)-- The young son of Massachusetts legislator was hunted this afternoon for questioning in connection with the death of a girl friend whose body was found in a clump of bushes by the roadside in lonely section of this village today.
 The object of the widespread search was Eliot Hathaway, 21-year- old son of State Representative Louis E. Pathway of Fall River, Mass, and said by state police to have been a companion of Miss Verna Russell, 20. on an automobile ride last night which ended in her death.
 While police throughout New England watched for the blue Buick sedan which young Hathaway was driving when last seen, state investi- gators at the Portsmouth barracks questioned the missing youths clos est friend, Vernon Victor Calvin, 22, of Fall River.
 This young man had reported that shortly before midnight Hathaway appeared at the Calvin home and told story of how he had been motoring with Miss Russell how two men had waylaid them at gum point, how they had criminally at- tackled the girl and forced him (Hathaway) to leave the scene.
 According to Calvin, Hathaway said that one of the two armed men grabbed the girl by the throat and hit her on the jaw with a powerful punch. Hathaway was quoted as saying he left the scene at gunpoint as the two men were criminally as- saulting his girl companion.
 After hearing the alleged story, Calvin said he accompanied Hath away to the spot on Stafford road, not far from the Tiverton aviation field, where the supposed attack oc- cured. There they found the body of Miss Russell, a student nurse at Truedale hospital. Fall River, who was to have been graduated in June.
 Hathaway, after seing the body, exclaimed that he was going to beat it." and drove away in his car, according to Calvin.
 Miss Russell's crumpled form lay in a clump of bushes. Her right arm lay across her face. There was a patch of blood on the right hand. Her party dress was frayed and smeared with dirt. She apparently had been dead several hours.
 There was bruise on the dead girls right leg but no other outward indications of violence. Near the body were three bottles, two of them partly filled with beer, according to state police. There also was a strip of rope close by but investigators said this apparently had no connec- tion with the young woman's death
 The clump of bushes in which the body was discovered is near the

Auburn Was the Real Sen- satiOn as It Hit 227H, a New High for the Year Trading Was Unusually Quiet
By ELMER C. HOLZER United Press Financial EdftOr.)


 New York, March 24.-(UP)-va- rious groups were pushed to the fore to-day on the stock exchange. Util- ities were carried to the front. Oils strengthened. Rails turned quiet.
 Auburn continued the sensation of the market, soaring to 227 1-2 up 8 IA points and a new high for the year. Shorts were driven to cover.
 Trading was very quiet. Tickers hesitated for minutes at time. Meantime. wheat steadied. Cotton held few points under the previous close. New York bar silver rose 3-4 cents to 30 cents an ounce.
 Westinghouse Electric assumed leadership of the industrial group, supplanting United States Steel. The latter sold off fractionally to 146 1-4, while Westinghouse rose nearly 3 points to 94. American Can, Radio and Vanadium were firm. General Motors was a strong spot in the au- tomobile division aside from Auburn.
 Houston. and General Asphalt were features among oils which ad- vanced. Oii production advanced sharply in the latest week reporting, but this was believed normal for this time of year when consumption of SdSOIino IS plCklHB up.
 Helping the railroad shares were reports that car loadings to-mor- row morning would show an in- crease. This would be the second weekly increase in succession, and would be an indication of pickup in general business.
 In the railroad group, New York Central rose more than 2 points and others were up fractions. The prices held but volume dwindled as the end of, the fourth hour neared.
 Spiegel. May. Stern featured the mercantile division, rising to new 1881 high. Montgomery Ward ral- lied to around the previous close, but Sears Roebuck did not overcome a loss of more than point.
 Amusements were holding near the previous close, with Warner Brothers off fractionally and Loew's up small amount. CoDpers were dull and fairly steady despite reduc- tion in the export price by IA cent a pound.
 Steel swung into action near 9 P. M.. rising to a new high for the day at 146 1-2 where it was off Is from the previous close.
 EARLY TRADING.
 New York, March 24.-CUP)-Oil stocks continued to feature the stock market to-day. They turned over in fair-sized volume and several moved upward, while the remainder of the list was steady to fractionally lower.
 Texas Corporation rose to 30A up B; General Asphalt held unchanged at 42Hs: Sinclair 13ss unchanged; ed; Texas Land Trust 15A up A. Houston and She'll Union declined.
 United States Steel dropped 1M to 1453s at the outset, its decline addini
