Three Dead Girls Are Positiuely Identified
Gooden Dill and Wife Recognized Them as the Chil- dren Who Were With J. C. Malone and Wife
 of California at Their Tourist Camp

> Carlisle, Pa, Nov 2S.-(UP)- MT and Mrs Gooden Dill to-day positively identified the bodies of three girls found near here as the children who visited their tour ist camp with a woman and a man who said he was J. c. Malone oi Vallejo, Calif. The Dills then agreed to go to Duncansville ir an effoft9t to identify sbedies there as Malone and the woman. The bills, with whom the fam fly of five stayed between Nov 19, and 21, previously had identified the man as ."J. c. Malone"
 The blankets identified by the Langhorne couple were those that covered the bodies of the young victims when they were found on Saturday near here. Mrs Dill, DO. lice said, described a red dress worn by the the woman victim be- fore it was shown to her at state police headquarters:
 Dill likewise described Malone" as wearing blue shirt whe nhe stayed at the tourist camp. The victim was thus clothed when found. <
 "The testimony of the bills definitely links the dead children with the man and woman, although they were found 70 miles apart" Major Cecil Wilhelm, deputy su- of state police said.
 Police, now. centering their ac- tivities on the automobile found near Duncanville, also investigated the Identification of Larry Carney, of Philadelphia, the male victim as a man known to him as Horace Hughes. Hughes, Carney said. told him he had recently come from California.
 In the abandoned automobile state police found a road map of the Philadelphia area and paper cups bearing the name of an Illinois city.
 Following the conference at liar risburg, the bills were driven here. to view the three bodies in the morgue, and were to go to Duncan vile later in the day to attempt positive identification of the man and woman.

PUBLIC WARNED
 ABOUT HELPING
 SALVATION ARMY
See That Army Members Are From Waterbury
 and Have Credentials

Warning to the public to give clothing or money only to Salvation Army workers who show creden- tials that they are from Waterbury if the gifts in question are intend- ed for the poor of this city, is giv- en in statement issued today by the Chamber of Commerce. The warning is directed at the New Ha- ven Salvation Army, which has been collecting articles in this city and which has a store on South Main street, although no hint of this is given in the statement of the Chamber of Commerce, which was issued over the signature of Frank J. Green, secretary.
 Protest against the New Haven Salvation Army, with whom he was involved in major controversy a year ago, was made last week by William M. Harris, secretary of the Lincoln House and of the Mutual Aid. The claim is that articles of clothing gathered here by the Sal. Ivation Army are brought to New Haven and there repaired, but theE a part of them brought back te the South Main street store for sale to the public.
 The Chamber of Commerce says that its warning is issued only aft CT it is satisfied as to the correct ness of the facts" The statement suggests that articles to be donated be kept inside the house until they are called for.
 This latter point recalls that a year ago, MT Harris charged that

 The woman watched the fight from ditch. After the agents were felled, she, Nelson and the unidentified man jumped in the agents automobile and escaped.
 Thousands of state and federal officers rivalling the armies that once hunted the same region for Dillinger. spread over all of north ern Illinois blocking every exit from the state. They obviously were de- termined to shoot down the outlaw without quarter.

WATERFOWL HAD JUST ONE ISSUE
 OF NEWSP APER
Mystery Sheet Filled With Advertisements PrO=
 mOters Vanished

| Complaints to Watertown and Waterbury authorities will be made in connection with a mysterious single edition of The Watertown Press" distributed in Watertown November 18th and containing IA | pages, of which IS were filled with advertising. Since the publication of the one edition, efforts to To- cate the publisher have been in vain, and considerable feeling has been aroused both in Watertown and this city, with vigorous inves- tigation promised by advertisers.
 Investigation by the Democrat brought to light today the infor- nation that the publication was printed in a town in the northern part of the state, that copies were distributed freely in Watertown, and that all the advertising was solicited by telephone, with Wa tertown and Waterbury merchants buying advertising space. The in- vestigation has completely exoner- ated the Oakton Press, Watertown printing company. which was placed in a most embarrassing po- sition due to incorrect reports that the issue of "The Watertown Press" had been printed by the firm.
 Printing Firm Innocent
 Mrs E. T. Kelly. wife of the manager of the Oakton Press, said today that her husband and she had no knowledge of the publica- tion until copies had been distribut- ed about Watertown. The printing firm. it has been learned, had no connection whatsoever with the one edition of The Watertown Press.
 The 7 Waterbury Chamber of Commerce has the matter under investigation, since 8 number of Waterbury firms bought advertis- ing after being contacted by tele- phone. The organization has learned that a man nemed "Ted 'Seitz" was connected with the sale of advertising and that checks of payment. in at least some cases, were made out to him.

BY ROSS DOWNING

| United Press Staff Correspondent Harrisburg, Pa, Nov 2S--(UP3z State police today announced partial solution of the babes in the woods" mystery.
 Through diligent detective work they had erected hypothesis, which, while not entirely proved, was believed to provide : the best explanation that may ever be avaii- able of the deaths of three children at Carlisle and man and a wom- an at Spring Meadow, near AL toona.
 The man, state police believed, used the names J. c. Cowden, U. c. Malone and J. c. Gardner. He was a wanderer, but his last known home was Vallejo, Cal. The wom- an was his wife, and the three children, girls, Is. 10 and 8, were his by a previous marriage.
 Killed Last Thursday
 Police believed that he killed the children last Thursday, and the next day killed the woman and himself. The motive, police thought was hopelessness brought aboct by unemployment, and accentuated by hunger.
