FINISHES WETHERSFIELD TERM, REARRESTED
HARVARD BOYS
DISAPPEARED
S3DAYSA AGO
World Wide Search Had
Been Made for Them
Body of One of Two
Found on Mud Flats
Near Providence

Providence, r. l., April pa
(UP)-Death by drowning was the
autopsy report today in the. case OF
Nathaniel e. Jones, 20, of Billerica,
Mass, one of two Harvard students
who disappeared 83 days ago.
Jones body was found In the
mud flats of Watchemoket Cove
yesterday afternoon by an East
Providence fisherman in quest OF
bait. There was no trace of Floyd
j. Stewart. 23. of Garden City.
Kan, who left the Harvard School
of Business administration at Cam
bridge. Mass, with Jones in a coupe
January 81 last and never re-
| turned.
Discovery of Jones body
strengthened the belief that the
two students, motoring to Provi-
dence to visit a. friend at Brown
university. were plunged into q
river or the sea when their car
ran off the road or bridge. Police
pointed out that in this event
Jones' body might have drifted
several miles before it lodged in
the mud flats where it was found.
Search was in progress today for
Stewart, in the belief that his
body, too, might rest somewhere
along the shores.
Early reports that Jones had
been slain-based, apparently, on
the fact that there was a bruise
on his forehead-were discounted
by Medical Examiner Charles A.
O'Rourke after he had performed
an autopsy. A sea rock caused the
bruise, the doctor said.
The body had been in the water
more than a month, DR. O'Rourke
believed. and had lain where 1t
was found for three to Ave days.
It was clad in the raccoon coat
Jones wore when he left Harvard
for a Sunday afternoon ride. The
hands were gloved. The pockets of
the dead youths suit contained IL
cents. Identification was establish
ed by laundry marks and by the
number of the victims watch,
which had stopped at 6:18.
Following the autopsy Jones'
body was sent to- Bil1erica for
burial this afternoon.
Jones was a son of Nathaniel
r. Jones, prosperous president OF
the Cumner-Jones company, Bos-
ton silk concern. He was grad
uated from Dartmouth college last
year.
Stewards father. James J..
Stewart of Garden City, Kan, util-
tiles holding company Official, has
made two trips to Boston since his
son vanished in an effort to ex-
pedite the search.

"After I took the witness stand
out there" Macdonald said, re-
ferring to his 1880 trip, II knew
as soon as Justice Preston started
to question me that the whole
show was just going to be a case of
withdrawing Fickert and Goff."
Apprised of MacDonald's desire
to confer with him about the
Mooney case, Senator Tydings, in
Washington to-day, said he would
be ''only too glad to see him any
time that suits him."
Subsequently the Monday ap-
pointment was determined on.

Washington, April 23.-(UP)-
The refusal of Governor Rolph of
California to pardon Tom Mooney,
to-day led to a series Of sharp
clashes in the house.
Representative Blanton, demo-
crat, Texas, started the debate
when he praised Rolph for up
holding the honor of his great

MONEYS supporters and friends,

of Rolph's decision not to pardon
the man who has served 16 years
in prison for participation in the
San Francisco bomb outrage--a
crime in which he has consistent

Rolpip claimed an open mind.
"If new evidence Is uncovered or

island hoodlums tried in December
on charges of attacking Thalia
Fortescue Massie, the lieutenant's
young wife.
Massie admitted he held a gun

Tossing the attack. When ka-
hahawai assertedly told him, yes,

became blank.
The trial was to resume to-day
with Prosecutor John c. Kelley
offering rebuttal evidence. There
was every. prospect that closing
arguments would begin Monday.
VIM, associated with Clarence
barrow in the battle to free the
quartet, agreed with Kelley that
mo law" has been found as yet
which precisely covers the case. $
"The effect Of our proposed in
struction to the jury" Winn said,
els that If Massie was insane at
the time, no crime was committed
an insane person not being held
responsible for his acts.
Furthermore, if there wasn't
any crime, it follows no one
could be an accessory of accom-
plice."
It was learned that his proposed
instruction will say in part that
lone cannot be convicted as an
alder or abettor If the person
charged as the principal was not
criminally responsible for his
acts because of his lack of mental
capacity or extreme youth"
such an instruction, If accepted
by Davis and transmitted to the
Jury, would be an important de-
tense victory. 1t is matter of dis
erection with the court, however.
Kelley said he planned to ask
the court to include instructions
that the prosecution had intro
duced evidence sufficient to prove
first degree murder.
"Ofs course they can't be con-
victed Of more than second degree
murder" Kelley explained. "but
we are entitled to such instruc-
tons. Second degree calls for 20
years to life, you know"
Kelley and Winn engaged in a
heated controversy while court was
in adjournment, over the latter's
refusal to let Drs Joseph Cation OF
San Francisco and Paul Bowers OF
Los Angeles examine 1t Massie.
Kelley obtained continuance
of the case in order that the alien
lists could prepare testimony In
