(Continued from Page D body of the late Jackie Grady, we beg to report as follows:
 Our investigations have con- vinced us that the initial step in the recovery of the body was made by Miss Olivia Gasparri, who was the first to bring it to the attention of the police author ities. She, being the chief factor in the discovery of the body, should in our judgment, receive the ma jor part of the reward.
 Valuable assistance was also rendered in the recovery of the body by John Crane, and James Gilland.
 We therefore decided that the reward be divided as follows: The sum of $700 to Miss Olivia Gasparri; the sum of $200 to John Crane; and the sum of $100 to James Gilland.
 We wish also to express our very great admiration and apprecia- ton to the police department for the way in which they handled the entire matter and particu- layly to Lieut.. Joseph McEvoy and Officer John Murphy for their alertness, promptness. and efficiency in the recovery of the body.
