CARLISLE, Pa. Nov. 81
Emmett Hamilton of Cleve-
land, was quoted by Coroner
+. A. Haegele this afternoon
as saying he believed the VIC
TINS Of the "babes in the
woods tragedy may be his
daughters"
Mr. Hamilton viewed the bodies
of the three young girls, whose iden-
titles have been a mystery since
they we're discovered under a blan-
ket in the South mountains on Sat-
urday.
He had not seen his daughters in
three years, but said his eldest
daughter had a prominent mole on
the back oh re head. The oldest of
the three girls found on the noun
tainside had a similar mark.
He appears sincere and thinks
the girls may be his daughters" Mr..
Haegele said
Almost at the same time in Phil
adelphia Mrs. Mary Hamilton, di-
vorCed wife of Hamilton, came for
ward and laughed when informe
that her former husband thong It

Joke to me- I'm alive and well and
so are the children"
Hamilton told police his wife left
him three years ago last Armistice
day and took their daughters, Helen,
IS Mary, 13, and Dorothy, II. They
went to North Philadelphia, but
Hamilton did not hear from them.
When he heard of the discovery
of the bodies, he came here in an
attempt to identify the children.
Police obviously believed the long
awaited break" in the case was
near after Hamilton visited the
morgue, but at first they told him
not to say word to any one.

Declaring that a county natural

those seeking it. Superior Judge
Russell J. Ryan today granted a
restraining order to prevent the
county commissioners from grant,
ing a franchise to the Users Gas
Company.
The company has sought a con-
tract for an exclusive contract and
indeterminate permit to deliver
natural gas in Marion county out
side of incorporated towns and
cities.
In granting the order, Judge Ryan
said:
The county commissioners board
had no legislative authority to COM

lawyer is amazing. AS far as the
county and the city is concerned
here is group asking a tremendous
power for nothing. They do not
even have to invest anything.
Referring to the clause Of the
proposed contract which specifies
that the Users Gas Company must
start operation within five years
Judge Ryan said:
