CneNrOleC OWnerS CduG De WEOhS. tying me up'' and "They're throw ing me overheard" two pirates. one youthful and the other about 50 years old, abducted her in canoe where the elder man at- tack her, was cited as convincing evidence of paranoia.
 "The contradiction of the older mans conduct in murdering MT Ceilings and then in giving blan- kets to the wife and putting keds' on her feet also is typical of paran- oia," said Homer S. Cummings, chief counsel for the Ceilings fam fly.
 "The older man was apparently a paranoiac with hysterical streak of preversion, and appar- ently had the younger man under his domination" the lawyer said.
 District Attorney Blue today as- signed detectives to secret missions running down other Heads" that have been presented since discov- cry of the murder. The history and activities not only of the family, but of friends and acquain- tances, were being subjected to severe eXamlndtlon.
 The blankets with which the all legged murderers covered Mrs Col lings when they abandoned her in another motor boat, after their attack, have been traced, first to the Charles Hotel in Springfield. Mass, and thence to the motor boat of Frederick J. Voos, acting president of the Eastern Baseball league. Voos informed the police yesterday that they were a gift to him from the hotel management, and that they had been stolen from and a carving knife were taken at the same time, he said.
 William A. Kelley, assoicated with Cummings as Mrs Ceilings counsel, informed the press that, | in contradiction to previous re- ports, Mrs Ceilings has said she | was on deck when the attack on | her husband began, and that she tried to grapple with the assailants | whereupon they thrust her into | the cabin.
 Kelley urged the authorities to develop their investigation into the supposition that second man was murdered at the same time.
 From the statement of N. L. Noteman, who discovered the Pen gui after the murder of Ceilings" l. said, "that he heard and saw another man swimming near the boat, it Is possible that the pirates had previously wounded another man and that they threw him over- board at the same time they killed Ceilings.
 "This sounds fantastic. but we are dealing with madmen. MT Note mans statement indicates that someone was swimming near the Penquin, the autopsy indicates that Ceilings was too badly hurt to swim and was probably drown ed immediately"
 When Noteman boarded the boat, he found it deserted save by the Ceilings five-year-old daugh- ter, Barbara. Mrs Ceilings, by that time, had been taken away by heI husbands slayers.
 Greenwich, Conn, Sept IS (UP) l-An autopsy was ordered today on the body of a man found in Long Island Sound off Riverside Conn.,, yesterday, as the authori- ties sought to discover whether he might be the "second man" be- lieved to have disappeared the night Benjamin P. Ceilings, yachts man, was mysteriously murdered.
 A capsized sailboat found near where the second body was first seen, however indicated the second tragedy possibly had no conncc- ton with the Ceilings case, inves- tigators said.
 A pencilled name "T. Harrison , was found on the lining of the mans coat. He was about 45 grey-haired and well dressed.
 The undertaken here who ex- amined the body said it could not have been in the water more thar a day or two.
 Norwalk, Conn, Sept 1S-(UP) What had been believed a pos. sible clue in the murder of Ben. jamin P.
