HERMIT LEADS TWO
TO MURDER SCENE
Mysterious Man in Woods
Reveals Body Crammed
in Casket of Trees.
BY the Associated Press.


MEDIA, Pa, July 11.-A scoutmaster
and his Boy Scout assistant returned
from a midnight hike in the woods
yesterday with an eerie tale of hermit
with flowing white beard and a
cackling laugh, who led them to the
scene of a murder. The hermit had
met the scouts in the woods and bade
them follow him, which they did.
The flashlights Of Wilmer Brown, IS,
and Walter Hawks, II, Pickering on
tangled brush and a dim trail through
the woods, suddenly picked out the
strange apparition of the hermit, they
said. Curiosity overcoming fright, they
stayed while he challenged them to
zee something"
He led them to spot about 500 yards
off the trail. they related. and pointed
at three fallen trees, which formed a
sort Of natural casket The Scouts
peered closely and saw the decomposed
body of man. Nearby was a revolver.
They turned to address their guide, but
he was gone.
1t took the Scouts an hour to find
the spot again for the police. Coroner
]. Evan Scheehle concluded after an
examination that the man had been
beaten to death and his body stuffed
away there. Despite the revolver there
were no bullet holes.
The man was well dressed The only
thing in his pockets was a pair of
smoked glasses. Expensive dental work
probably will be the only clue to his
identity.
Searching parties beat through the
woods all day but found no further trace
of the old hermit.

In conclusion, the President said:
with the utmost seriousness urge the
Congress to enact relief measure. but
cannot approve the measure before,
fraught as 1t is with possibilities OF
misfeasance and special privileges, Sc
impracticable of administration, SO
dangerous to public credit. and so DAM
aging to our whole conception Of gov
ernmental relations to the people as to
bring far more distress than 1t will
cure"
Substitute Bill Ready.
As the bill went to the White House
with the signatures of Vice President
Curtis and Speaker Garner, congress
sional leaders agreed upon the proce-
dure for enacting modified bill after
the veto.
After conferences with Garner Sena.
tor Wagner, Democrat, Of New York had
prepared a substitute bill to be intro
duced as soon as the veto was received
Little difficulty Is expected with the
new measure. Among others, Speaker
Garner today predicted Congress would
adjourn within week. He Is the spon-
sor of the Observation-Disclosures clause
and insisted upon it despite White
House opposition.
The issue. however. Is expected to fig
ure in the campaign, with some Demo-
Gratis taking the attitude that the
President prevented financial relief to
individuals
This modified bill will be offered by
Wagner as an amendment to House
road bill now pending in the Senate,
in order to expedite procedure.
It carries the same provisions as the
bill vetoed today except that the Sec
tion for loans to individuals has been
eliminated.
If the Senate approves the bill as an
amendment in the form Of substitute
for the House road bill, 1t will 80 to
the House, where leaders plan to move
that the Senate amendment be agreed
to. This would complete congressional
action and send the modified measure
to the White House without the formal
ity of a conference between the two
Houses, or further consideration by the
Senate.
Senator Reed Republican, Of Penn

the White House that 1t was his opin-
ion Congress would pass a new relief
bill easily within the week"
The Presidents veto message, recon-
mending elimination Of the provision
for loans to private individuals. had
been completed and mimeographed for
