Keeping Cool, Chief Concern

The strange case Of John Ray
mond Walter, whose funeral was
to have been held yesterday. be-
gan to clear up today with Mr..
Walter found alive and we'll.
But one mysterious question re-
mains:
Who is the man whose body
was embalmed as that of Mr..

Chambers Funeral Parlor.
Mr.. Walter, 54, who had been
missing from his home at 1741
Lanier Pl. N. W., was found by

sitting on a bench in, Judiciary
Square trying to keep cool.
Informed by his children tnat
his body was at Chambers and
was about to be buried, Mr.. Wal
ter was considerably startled, but
he allowed there must have been
some mistake.
Otherwise Dlffideslt
Beyond that he wasn't much
interested and refused to go to
the funeral parlor to look at the
body his wife had identified as
his. -.
Walter told his children he had
found q job in Frederick, Md, as
q carpenter and that he COM
muted between here and there
daily. He said that, regardless Of
the corpse complication, he was
going back to work today.
The mix-up started when an un-
identified man was killed by a
hit,and-run driver at Laurel, Nd,
Sunday.
Mrs. Geraldine Walter and her
son, John Raymond Walter, jr.,
went to the morgue and identi-
fled the body as that Of Mr..
Walter, who had been missing for
three months. Mrs. Walter ar
ranged for funeral services at st.
Paul's Catholic Church.
Funeral Cancelled
She and her son and a daugh-
ter again went to the funeral
parlor. She withdrew her identi-
fication, AID everyone was in
quandary as funeral arrange
ments were called off.
The SON and daughter, who
agreed the corpse had been
wrongly identifiedy last night

ASKED
FORF FALL

A 7telegraphic petition for Ex-
ecutive clemency for ex-Secretary
of the Interior Albert B. Fall,
reached the White House today
and was referred, by customary
routine, to the Department of
Justice for recommendation back
to President Hoover.
The petition was signed by the
governor, United States Senators,
and members of the legislature
of New Mexico, where, under the
courts decision, Fall is to serve
year and a day in the State
prison. -..,
There was no indication at the
White House Of what fate is in
store for the petition, - but it
would greatly surprise Washing
ton if President Hoover inter
ceded with clemency. In his
speech dedicating the Harding
Memorial at Marion, Ohio, last
month, President Hoover took
pains to denounce those whom
he accused of "betraying" Presi-
dent Harding.

"Oh, Ma, what's that?" asked
Buster Longears, the little rabbit
boy, as he hoped into the hollow
stump bungalow after school one
day.
Behind him came trooping in his
twin brothers, Custer and Buster.
In fact. Buster, Custer and Buster
were triplets, but Of course when
only two Of them were together
they were just twins.
About the table in the dining
room were grouped Uncle Wiggily,
his wife and Nurse Jane Fuzzy

the dishes their baths, busted the
piano and wound the clock at night.
In short, as Mr.. Mioawbar would
say. Nurse Jane was the house
keeper.
On the table was a large, brown
envelope which had just come
through the mail for Uncle Wiggily.
What is it?" asked Buster again.

asked Custer, who seemed always
to be hungry.
IF it is, I want some!' shouted
