mans statement this morning dis
PEELED the last official chance that

Backs Up Coroner
Lieut.. Schatzman's declaration
follows that of Coroner John T..
Monzani, Medical Examiner DR..
Irving Plat Of Wolcott, and neigh
bors and acquaintances OF Grow.
Most investigators have agreed
that the body found on the shores
of the reservoir was shorter and
smaller than that of Grow, and
that other evidence might possibly
connect the body with Crow is abb
sent.
DR.. Plat declared that the body
found Tuesday could not have been
in the water since last summer or
fall, and that it was in the reser-
voir in early or mid-winter at the
earliest. Could the body have been
that of Crow, 1t would mean that
the hermit would have had to sub
sist alone in the woods from June
until winter. living on fruits and
berries and yet managing to es-
cape the eyes, first of the posse OF
several hundred who combed the
woods and secondly of hunters
who were in the woods last fall.

were found on the body, but as
yet they have proved of no value

AT SARATOGA

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 G.N.S0.
From William Watts, held in $780,
900 bail as the nations most
dangerous counterfeiter, Federal
authorities tried to learn today
whether Count" Victor Lustig,
globe trotting confidence man,
had outside help in making a
Joke out of the new escape-proof
Federal detention building.
Lustig escaped from the place
last month, sliding down a rope
made of sheets in view of some
100 paSSerSby. Yesterday when
Secret Service men raided the
hidden engraving shop in Union
City, N. j., from which they say
Watts had produced more than
$l,000,000 in counterfeit notes,
they found a newly engraved
Czechoslovakian passport bearing
LuStig'S name.
'Dapper Dan" Collins, also
known as Robert Tyler, was to be
brought before Judge Kennedy IN
Federal court today, and charged
with giving false and evaslve
answers to the grand jury investl-
eating Lustig'S escape.
Watts almost broke the bookies
at the Saratoga track in August,
the Secret Service men revealed
today. His new 500 notes domin-
ated their rolls at the end Of the
day and the banks would not &C.
cept them in deposit.
Careful watch on all places
selling photo-engravers supplies
finally gave the sleuths the lead
they had long been looking for.
And at the end of the trail they
found Watts, a bald, middle-aged
man, and $4,000 in newly-made
money. He had been :. respect
able pharmacist in Fullerton,
Nebr., until he began selling
whisky in the prohibition era and
making his own .1venue stamps,
Secret Service men said.
