SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 7. W.P)-
The mysterious death of 7 year
old Dalbert Aposhian which had
provoked almost an unprecedent-
ed local search for a torture MUIR
derer" was described as accidental
today by Sheriff Ed Cooper
Cooper sided with DR.. F. A.
Wagner. Los Angeles county auto
psy surgeon, who reported after
an examination of the mutilated
body that the boy undoubtedly
drowned accidentally and was dis
figured by crabs.
His report burst like bombshell
among investigators who had work.
ed on the theory the child had
come to his death at the hands of
a fiend.
Coroner Chester Gum of San
Diego county refused to accept the
accidental theory and announced
he would proceed with murder
investigation.
The sheriff declared he was con-
vinced that Dalbert had fallen in
to the bay while fishing with 9
year old Jackie Confar, chum.
After narrating that he had &C
companied his playmate to a toy
shop and the ZOO, Jackie later de-
clared they went fishing and that
Dalbert fell off the pier. He said
he was so frightened he ran home
without telling anyone of the
tragedy. Sheriff Cooper said the
boy chung to his story through
severe grillings.
Despite the new turn of events,
authorities still held for investiga-
ton Philips Edwards, young high
school boy, who told an amazing
story of torturing Dalbert last week
after he had been arrested in Los
Angeles. The suspect later brand
ed his story hoax.

Only when Mayor Cermak of Chicago
slumped down before me did I realize
that my shoulder was being used by an
assassin to steady his aim for an at

Scream and Shout.
About the same time I got wise to
iris, the tumult broke. Men and women
screamed and shouted. Kill him! Stop
him! Don't let him hit Mr. ROOSEVELT"
were among the cries I remember.

down on a little, swarthy, stockily-
bIilt man. They certainly manhandled
him. 1 didn't realize for the moment
that any one else but my old friend
Tony Cermak had been hit

Cermsk's victory by a record majority

sought fourth term, was described by
political critics as being attributable
as much to an "anti-Thompson" vote
as to a pro -Cerrilak' vote. yet he never
was characterized as strictly oppor-
tunisS and his previous successes in
climbing the political ladder had proved
his ability as vote-getter on his own
