JOHN CROW LOST
 HIS HAT DURING CHASE IN WOODS
State Police Have Found Battered Panama--Are
 Sure It Was His

John Crows battered, weather beaten, Panama hat, is in possess ion of the state police who have been conducting a search for the Wolcott slayer consistently since the date of the double tragedy it has been learned by the Democrat. The hat has positively been iden- tified as the one Crow wore con- stantly in his meanderings to and from his shack in Wolcott.
 The position where the hat was found has definitely esta blished the course the slayer took in his flight from the scene of the double shooting. It was found to the north of Pritchard's pond. about a half mile in the woods. Police be- lieve the hat was knocked from Crows head by the heavy brush as he scurried through the woods
 Bought in Los Angeles
 The panama bears the name of a Los Angeles haberdasher. It is known that Crow visited Los En- geles in 1882 at the time of the Olympics to watch his brother. rep resenting Ireland, compete in the foot racing.
 The fact that Crow did actually take the course leading to Cedar Swamp gives rise to the speculation as to what has become of him. He has been reported as seen twice, once by a state trooper who fired shots at a figure of a man in the vicinity of the shack and by Vol colt woman who claims she saw him in a berry patch.
 It will be recalled that about S:30 o'clock of the night of the shooting, residents along the road in the vicinity of Cedar Swamp,
