CLOTHING MAY BE CLUE TO MURDER
May Have Some COnneC- ton With Tragic Death
 of Frances Cochran

Lynn, Mass, Aug. II --(UP)- A bundle of clothing was found in a wooded section near Pine Grove cemetery early today and police said they had obtained an "encour- aging lead" in the investigation of the sex-slaying of l9-year-old Fran ces Cochran.
 The discovery came after Chief Police Inspector Charles T. Duggan of Lynn and City Marshal John HarkinS of Salem conferred with an unidentified man near midnight at police headquarters.
 The trio conferred in Duggan'S office nearly an hour and left the station together Later the police officials returned with the bundle. They said the clothes were torn but that it was impossible immediately to determine if they were blood stained.
 The clothes were to be given Dr. Alan R. Moritz, Harvard medico- legal expert who at noon was to re- port on second autopsy.
 Dist.-Atty. Hugh A. Gregg said he hoped the second autopsy, perform ed Saturday, would more closely de- termine the exact time of death.

Sheldon; (2) Stealing $109,000 from the New York Yacht Club, of which he was treas urer. The Securities and Exchange Commission estimated that the fai1- ure of his firm caused a net loss of $2,655, 900, not counting personal obligations of $3,007, 900, most of which he owed his brother, George.

BOTTLE THROWER
 AT GAME SCORED

New York, Aug. 11-(UPY)- A person who throws pop bottles at baseball game could wear a high hat and still walk under a worm.
 That's what Brooklyn Magistrate John F. X MasterSon told Edward Armstrong, 20, of Hartford, Conn, when he was arraigned for disorder ly conduct in throwing a bottle dur ing the first game of yesterdays Brooklyn Boston doubleheader. The fact that three Brooklyn players had been hit by pitched balls made TO difference, Masterson said.
 Tt was the first game I've ever seen at EbbetS Field" Armstrong ex- plained. "In the excitement about the players getting beaned I guess I threw bottle, don't know why -.
 "Horsefeathers!" Masterson ex- ploded. You sit in the security of the upper stand and throw a bottle out. It could have hit a ball player who was out there trying to earn his living. Your type is lower than a worm and car wear high hat and still walk under worm. Ten dollars fine or three days in jail"

 But he won't be a free man until April II, 1948, when his maximum sentence of 10 years expires. Until then he must report weekly to New York parole authorities.

 He leaves with new suit and $20.
 He will be supervised by Massa- chusetts parole authorities, through an arrangement with New York au- thorities, and will file his reports through them.
