BY the Associated Press.


SARANAC LAKE, N. Y, June 25.-
Operating in the strictest secrecy, New
York State police held 25-year- -old
Civilian Conservation Corps worker
today for questioning in connection
with the criminal attack on and mur-
der of Cleo Tellstone, 14-year-old
high school girl, whose nude body was
found in the woods mile from her
home yesterday.
The troopers even refused to give
the name of the prisoner, but a dep
uty at the Office of Sheriff Mark E.
Monaghan said the man was Truman
Showers of Syracuse, C. c. C.. truck
driver.
The girls body, the head and face
battered, was found by her brother,
Wilbur, about 200 feet from the road
in thick clump of bushes.
Seen by Girls Father.
Showers was taken into custody
few hours later when the girls father
said he saw the C. C. C. worker pass
his home short time after his
daughter went down the road to post
some letters
After questioning Showers for sew
eral hours at the Saranac Lake bar
racks last night, the troopers brought
him out and left for an unannounced
destination. 1t still was not known
this morning where they took him.
A crowd of between 700 and 800
men, women and children had gath
cred outside the Saranac Lake bar
racks, curious to follow the progress
Of the investigation. They were quiet
and showed no disposition to be un-
ruly.
No Charge Entered.
The only official comment on the
case came from a deputy sheriff, who
preferred not to have his name used.
He gave out the name of the sus-
pect and made the following terse
comment:
He drives a truck for the C. c. c.
and was seen to pass along the road
shortly after the Tellstone girl left
home. So far as know, that is the
only reason he is suspected"

CO[ON|A[S SET
FOR GAME

Having pulled themselves up by
the bootstraps with two decisive
victories last week following a
poor early season start, George
Washington University'S diamond
ers will attempt this afternoon
to score their third successive
wir when they meet Western
Maryland's nine in Griffith sta
dium at 3 o'clock.
Young Cal Griffith, who
pitched the Colonials to their
initial victory with a four-hit per-
formance against Washington
College, is slated to return to the
boz for today'S engagement. The
son Of the Washington baseball
club owner has fully recovered
from an appendicitis attack. and,
judging from his work last Fri
day, should prove troublesome to
the Green TerrorS.
In its only previous appearance
here, Western Maryland bowed to
Georgetown University by a score
Of 8 to 5.
The Colonials have another
game this week, being scheduled
to oppose Randolph-M Macon at Ash.
land, Va, on Wednesday. This
contest originally was scheduled
for Thursday.

The colts odds Immediately
went down and are now quoted
at IL to i in the winter books.
Horsemen and turf fans who wit
messed the trial predicted that
the colt would prove the stand
out colt of the year.
That Discovery is made Of top
notch material goes without say
ing, for as a two-year-old the
son Of Display acquitted himself
in fine style. In IA starts the
chestnut campaigner showed
marked consistency. He was in
the money 10 times out Of IA
starts.
In most Of his efforts he lost
by close margins. In his last
start Of the year, at Pimlico, the
colt was beaten by q neck by
Chicstraw in the Walden Handi-
cap after appearing a certain
winner turning into the stretch.
Prior to this effort he always
had displayed a tendency to come
from the rear Of his field and
the mile and a quarter route in
the coming Kentucky classic
should prove more to his fancy.
Discovery turned in two impress
sive races at Latonia, being second
to Mata Hari in the Kentucy
Jockey Club Stake at mile and
would have whipped the great filly
in a trifle longer route.
And again he finished behind
Mata Hari in the Breeders Futur-
ity.
After being practically left at
the post he closed with q brilliant
burst Of speed to be beaten only
two and three-quarters lengths for
the lions share of the purse.
Discovery winGered at the Saga

ley, Baltimore, and is handled by
Bud Stotler, who trained Ladys-
man last year for the Derby.
