(Cont1nued sthe, discovery of the children, and tontaining some articles of clothing Corresponding to that worn by tWhite's passengers.
 Third Clue Develops
 A third clue was developed in as'The Wise Old Owl" published by sthe Standard oil Co. It was sknown that no such booklets were distributed in this section of the country, and detectives were dis- Ntributed in this section of the coun- 1try, and detectives were checking with the oil company officials to Tvietermine just where the booklet might have bene issued.
 3 Although investigators saw the Possibility of connection between the deaths of the three girls and the apparent murder and suicide of n man and woman Saturday at Spring Meadows, 105 miles away, athey have thus far been unable to Aestablish a material link between the two tragedies.
 Clothing worn by the woman syictim at Spring Meadows, however .was said to resemble garments sRound in the black satched which ~had been discarded in the South smountains.
 As the bodies of the three girls, the oldest about 15 and the young est about 8, lay in the morgue here, physicians and toxicologists con- tinued their investigations into the scause of death.
 W May Have Died of Gas
 ss The serenity of their features, kthe absence of bruises, the lack of spoison evidences, combined to lead sinvestigators to the belief that They might have died from mon ..cxide gas, although the condition Of their hearts indicated otherwise. Y There are more than 200 poisons (which leave no after-evidence, ac- tcording to the toxicologists.
 Although the children had not eaten for perhaps IS hours before they died, the bodies indicated pre- vious good health and proper nour- Fishment. They had not bene mis- Xretaed nor were they apparently N1he victims of depression starva- 4tion.
 Appeal Made to All
 Authorities appealed to every resident in every city, town and Nhamlet in the United States today &for aid in solving the seemingly in %penctratable mystery obscuring the identity and last moments of the three children.
 Three girls, the eldest about s15. the others between eight and 12. were found dead under one &blanket in the south mountains &hear here Saturday without a sin eSle clue to the cause or circum- stance of death.
 Later a man and a woman were found dead in an abandoned rail- road station 100 miles away. Ap- @parently one killed the other and ~committed suicide.
 ~ No positive connection between These two discoveries was evident; berhaps they represented culmina- lions of two tragedies; perhaps Sone. No positive Identification of either children or adults could be iobtained.
 Highway Much Travelled
 A well travelled highway passes %vithin 100 feet of the spot where ~<he children were found, and a branch of the same highway passes the abandoned station at spring &Meadows, near Altoona. Bewildereu authorities believed that the ab- 8ence of missing children or adults in this vicinity. indicated the prin' cipals came from afar.
 v The three children, of fair com 4piexion and with golden hair and Apparently sisters, and the two adults might have come from any where. No person reading this, bt ne in Maine or California, car State positively that he does no Known the man or woman or thai his children never played witt sthese children.
 Authorities could not even state Positively how the children died They were sure they had not diec of natural causes, but they did no die from wounds of an sort. Ever! eonceivable cause was eliminated nntil onl asphyxiation either by al Anaesthesia or gas tperhaps iron the monoxide gas given off by al sautomobiie exhaust) or poison re smained.
