State Trooper Carries On In Search For Crow
Hermit-Mmderer Escaped, Says Lieutenant False
 Clues Persist Reward Seekers Roam Woods

John Crow, the wolcott hermit, who six months ago killed two men and of whom no trace has been found since, is safely out of this part of the country. is the opinion of Lieutenant William Schat2man of the Beacon Falls state police barracks, who directed the sensational but unsuccessful manhunt for the killer last June, July and August. Failure of hunt CTS and special investigators to run across any traces of Crow or his remains in the dense Wolcott forests have led Lieutenant Schatz- man to believe, he told the Demo- crat by telephone this afternoon, that Crow did not commit suicide shortly after the killings or subse- quently, a theory which was more or less popularly accepted when rigid search failed to locate the fugitive murderer.
 Troop On Duty
 One state trooper is still sta- toned in Wolcott, but he will soon be withdrawn from that town. With his departure, the state po- lice's efforts to apprehend the missing killer will be along the lines of widespread publication of pictures and circulars and the fol- lowing-up of any clues which may come in from time to time. Only last week the lieutenant says, D false clue, one of the scores which have marked the case, was run down in Waterbury and found to be groundless.
 WoDds Seardhed
 In the opinion of Lieutenant Schatzman, Crows body would have been found by this time had he committed suicide in the woods at any time after he shot and killed Clarence Yuskis and Julius Karvauskas. Hunters have cov- cred every inch of the forests, while many amateur searchers, spurred by the $500 reward offered by the state for Crows capture, have searched the Wolcott area.
 Crows escape was made after he had abandoned his car a short distance away from the Yuskis farm, where he had perpetrated the murders The car was later found to contain several dynamite bombs. Crow was reported seen several times in Wolcott after the murders, at one time trooper firing at a fleeing figure, but not not a word of his whereabouts has been heard by state police in months.

 Miss Dunphy was an ardent worker in the cause of the Chase Girls club and she was loved by all of the members, both old and young who had come in contact with her lovable disposition, In their many endeavors she had d. way contributed a great amount of physical aid and spirit which aided greatly in their success. News of her death will be received with deep regret by the members of the club. She was also a member of the Cleaners society of St Pat rick's parish and became so help full in their activities that affairs did not seem complete without her assistance. Whenever her name was mentioned at parish affairs only words of highest praise were uttered by those attending.
 Surviving her are four brothers, Lieutenant John F. Dunphy, of the local police department; Edward F., Martin B., and William J. ,Dunphy, the latter a we'll known druggist of the city; one sister, Elizabeth A. Dunphy all of this city.
