as IOlloWS:
 The fiend led the girls into the ra- vine, which was far out of ear-shot of residences, and built the bonfire. One by one he took them away. First to go was Melba, the 9-year- old child. Madeline and Jeanette followed in that order. The killer shut of their screams with the ropes. When he had finished the assaults and strangulations, he tossed the bodies aside.
 How They Lay In Death
 Madeline's body had been sprin- kled with dry weeds, as if there was a half-attempt to conceal 1t. Melba's little hands were clenched about clods of dirt. Jeanette's head lay against large rock. Blue den- overalls, were found near the bod i'm threads, probably torn from les.

 Olive Everett, 11-year-old sister of the two slain girls, said Eddie had tried to take her rabbit hunt ing the day before and she and sev- eral older girls had refused.
 Playmates told the parents that the three girls left with Eddie" in spite of their objection.

eight troops selected for the trip. The last of these was delivered at the station today, minutes before departure. This time, after failure two years ago, Mrs. Bradley's pen nants will have proud display at Washington.
 Boys In Happy Mood
 Singing songs composed for the trip and glad to shed their full equipment packs during rest per- iod, the Waterbury boys lined up on the station green. In a ceremony attended by Walter H. Deacon, president of Mattatuck Council, Fred Smith, vice-president; Ed ward Fitzgerald, district representa- tive, Edward Sanderson, member of the executive board, Clarence Ovi- att, district representative, and George c.

 Two of the boys who entrained were almost unable to believe their good fortune teddy. Possibly they could not, under the circumstances, give much thought to the reason. They were substitutes for the pair of Southbury lads confined in sllad- ed rooms of their homes with rnea- sles. The fortunate boys are: James Dwyer of Troop 25, sponsored by the American Legion, and Richard Hine of the Eouthbury troop.
 David F. Babson, local Scout ex- ecutive, will meet the Waterbury contingent on arrival in Washing ton. His assistant, Henry Donohue of Waterbury, handled details of departure and was in charge of the trip.

 Yesterdays Festivities
 Yesterdays entertainment for the couple included 8 cocktail and a dinner party, before which young Roosevelt and Miss Du Pont ex- changed wedding gifts. They re- fused to say what they had given each other.
 Among the more than 1000 gifts which have arrived at Owls Nest al- ready was floor lamp presented by the Du Pont servants. The servants will have an honored place at the ceremony, the choir stall having been reserved for them.
 Miss Du Pont continued to make mystery of her wedding dress, as- Serting that the best wedding super stitions held that the bride should keep such things secret. It is known, however, that 1t will be white was made in New York and definite ly did not cost a fortune.
 What her something borrowed and something blue" will be also was secret. The something old," how ever, will be an ancient French pray CT book, gift from her mother.
 At the reception in the pavilion the guests will hear a song com posed in honor of the couple. It is entitled You Are the Reason for My Love Song" The music was written by Mrs. Meyer Davis, wife of the leader whose orchestra will play, and the lyrics are by Sally Gibbs, daughter of George Gibbs, Phila- delphia artist.

Three Missing Girls
 Are Brutally Killed

ator who first discovered the girls bodies, delivered the articles to po- lice headquarters. He said the bridge where he found them was several miles from the ravine where the girls were murdered.
 One Suspect Innocent
 An early police bulletin had named Othel Leroy Strong, p, of Pasadena, Calf, as a suspect. He is on probation for a morals of- fense and was identified from a photograph by several persons in the neighborhood as the man who was seen lettering in the playground Saturday when the girls disap- peared. The loiterer was known only as Eddie"
 Early today, however, the district attorneys office in Los Angeles re- ceived a telegram from the sheriff at Olympia, Wash, saying that Strong had been in Olympia for the past two weeks. This message eliminated Strong from the case and turned the hunt to man named Eddie" who resembled Strong's picture.
 One 12 year old girl told police she saw Eddie" back in the play ground Sunday with his blue dun- garees torn and his face scratched. Crime of Depravity
 As a crime of depravity, the mur- ders of Melba Everett, g.; her sis- ter, Madeline, T, and Jeanette Stephens, 8, were comparable today to those of the two little Martin sisters in 1924 or of Marion Parker in 1927-the slaughter of Southern California children for lust or for gain, as in the case of the Parker girl.
 The three bodies were found in ravine late yesterday by four boy scouts, members of a searching party of 1000 men and boys, includ- ing federal agents, sheriffs, police and civilians, among whom were 200 legionnaires.
 An airplane pilot, aiding the search, first noticed three splotches of color on the ground that he thought might be the girls clothes. He relayed the information to the ground and the boys, led by Rich- ard Vogt, IT, made the discovery.
 Bodies of Little Victims
 The remains of a campfire lay in the ravine. Beside 1t, the three girls shoes were arranged orderly in a row. Nearest the ashes was the body of Jeanette Stephens. Her clothing was torn to shreds, the underclothing having been ripped off, wadded up and tossed aside. One glance at her features showed she had died of strangulation and the other evidence made it obvious police said. that she had been as- saulted criminally.
 Twenty-Five yards beyond lay the body of Madeline. Her clothing was in better array. Beyond, about 25 yards, lay Madeline's sister, Melba. Her clothes had been torn away. All three girls faces were covered by their arms. They were garroted with two-foot lengths of rope, which were left looped about the necks. The bodies were smeared with blood.
 Fought for Their Lives
 Bruises on the bodies showed that the girls had struggled for their lives. Autopsy Surgeon A. F. Wagner said all three had been strangled after they were assaulted.
 They had been dead probably since Saturday night, doctors said. Eugene Williams, chief investigator of the Los Angeles district attor- neys ofice, reconstructed the scene

possessing explosives and held un- der S25,000 bail. Police said Hall had not been seen for 24 hours.
 Three Explosions
 Three explosions in the Warren area have punctuated the 33-day- old strike which kept 80,000 men idle in seven states until mills began reopening within the last few days with militai and police protecting returning non-strikers.
 Republic, which this week under took comprehensive plan for re- suming production at various Ohio plants, had kept the Warren and Niles mills going throughout the strike despite the fact that pickets curtailed production and kept workers inside the plants. In the last few days, however, production had been stepped up at the Warren plant with militia men maintaining order on the picket lines.
 The explosions occurred on a bridge near the center of town, on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks and at a power line pole near the Republic plant at Niles.
 Latest of B0mbings
 The power line explosion was the latest of the three bombings in the alleged campaign of terror and led to the arrest of the three men now in jail.
 According to police, the three confessed that:
 Hall provided them with fundns and sent them to Oil City, Pa, tc buy nitro glycerin. Arriving there however, they found the explosives had already been paid for and hac been packed in eight ounce bottles They returned to Warren with tw, and one half quarters, police said part of which they stored in c. I O. headquarters adjoining a frame hotel near the mill entrance.
 Only the fact that the alleged terrorists were poor chemists anc did not know how to mix properly the explosives prevented far greater damage than occurred III the three blasts, according to police, who saie they found one quart of the nitrC glycerin in Bunda's home and an. other quart in Boraweicz's home.
 Confessions of Trio
 Police said the three confessed that on Wednesday night they sci out with Charles Byers and Jct Orowitz in. an automobile to blow up railroad bridge connecting thu Republic blasts furnaces with thet open hearth furnaces, a vital link ir the plant operations. Warrants alsc have been issued for Byers and Or. owitz.
 En route, the men became fright. ened, police said, because nationa guardsmen were following them 1T another automobile. They threw away part of the nitro glycerin Byers was wounded and his auto- mobile, in which they were riding was damaged by the explosion which occurred on a bridge in view of militiamen.
 The guardsmen fired on the flee ing automobile, which later was found abandoned. Their own car narrowly escaped damage.
 Police quoted the men as saying they did not throw the explosives at the pursuing guardsmen but mere- ly were trying to get rid of it.
 Their confessions was described as disclosing plans to bomb va-i- ous important points around the Re- public mills.

SEEK IDENTITY

Ripping, N. H., June 2e.-(UP)- Authorities today sought positive Identification of a man killed near the local station late last night when the car he was driving was struck by a Portsmouth Concord branch train and dragged 20 0miles. The victim was identified tentatively as John V. Velchios of Newburyport, Mass. Death resulted from spine and neck fractureS.

entered the plant at ' a. m.. but whether they were engaged in their usual work or were helping to cool the furnaces in preparation for a possible closing could not be learned. The company promised a statement later.
 First Explosion
 The first explosion, which oc- cured shortly before midnight, cut a 36-inch line from the border dam The second blasted the 56-inch Quemahoning line which carries water into the Franklin Mill, one of the largest divisions of the Cambria works, where 15,000 steel-workers are employed.
 Although two smaller lines to the plant remained open, the blasting Of the two major lines caused such a severe water shortage that opera tions were disrupted. The water pressure in the plant reportedly dropped to zero. Two hundred state troopers, part of the detachment which enforced martial law here last week, were assigned to patrol highways and to search all auto- mobiles attempting to enter the city.
 Union Leaders DeplOre
 The steel workers organizing conl- mittee, which called the strike against Bethlehem in an attempt to force the company to sign a union contract, "deplored" the in- cident in a statement by strike Leader James Mark.
 Mark, official of the United Mine Workers of America, who succeeded SWOC sub-regional Director David Watkins as strike leader about 10 days ago, said:
 This incident is very deplorable. I would like to cooperate in every possible way to find the perpetra- tors of this deed.
 I don't know who is responsible. But hope that the strikers did not do it."
 One Break Stopped
 Authorities announced that the break in the Quemahoning line had been stopped up, but the break in the border line had not been located definitely. Company trucks loaded with repair material and all avail able men were at the scenes.
 The border dam line was the first to go. As General Manager C.. R. Ellicott of Cambria plant reported the explosion to state police at 3 a. m. (4 a. m. EDT) he received a call telling him of the second blast.
 The dams are a half-mile apart. The Quemahoning dam was the one falsely reported washed out in the 1886 flood. Circulation of the report caused heavy exodus of the resi- dents, some of whom were survivors of the 1889 flood disaster which re- suited from the bursting of a dam.
 Seek c. '. o. Chieftain
 Youngstown, O., June 29-(UP)- Police sought today the c. I. O.. chieftain who called a general in- dustrial strike at nearby Warren O., last week on charges that he was the brains" of a terrorist" plot to blow up property at or near Stlike-bound steel mills.
 Police Chief B. J. Gillen, of War ren, swore out a warrant for arrest of Gus Hall, local strike organizer, and two other men after arrest of three alleged bombers who were said to have confessed preparing for a series of nitroglycerin explo- sions around picketed and militia guarded steel mills.
 The three men arrested were named by police as George Bundas, John Boraweicz and Arthur Scott, all described as strikers against the Republic Steel corporation plant at Warren. They were charged with
