The case of the 37-year old
Detroiter, Edward Dengfe t,
who died in mysterious circum-
stances following picnic in Ma
comb County was about TO be
placed in the unsolved crime
file, after final witnesses ques-
toned Saturday failed to pro-
duce any substantial evidence
for action by Assistant Prose

Although Van Ffeteren assert
ed today that he proposes to
continue with the investigation,
he admitted attempts to uncover
evidence needed for prosecution
have been far from fruitful.
The assistant prosecutor today
indicated moreover that he has
all but dismissed the theory
that Dengfelt died of injuries
sustained in a fracas at the pic

the blow that struck Dengfelt
was of insufficient power to do

Blows at Germany

LONDON. Sept. 7 - R1 -
The Raj smashed heavily at
Germany again last night and
the Berlin radio reported today
the Munich - birthplace of the
Nazi party and seat of important
war industries - had been the
target of a concentrated attack.
1t was the first attack on Mu-
Mich since the night of July Is,
when swift Mosquito bombers
stabbed at the city while the
RATS heavy bombers were
blasting northern Italy.
The last heavy raid on Mu-
Mich was carried out March 9,
when great areas of the city were
reported laid waste by the RATS
four-engined bombers.
The raid maintained the tempo
of a great Allied aerial offensive
which reached new heights yes
terday when Flying Fortresses
hammered Stuttgart and British
and American medium bombers
pounded tarcrts in France.
CONTINUE ATTACK
Hardly had the night raiders
returned when squadrons Of day
night bombers set out across the
English Channel to strike new
blows at Hitler's European fort
ress.
Last nights attack was the
RATS fourth successive night as
sault on Germany, beginning
with a heavy raid on Berlin last
Friday night. Saturday night
British bombers pounded objec-
tives in the Ruhr and Rhineland
and Sunday night they attacked
the twin industrial cities of
Mannheim and Ludwigshafen at
the junction of the Rhine and
Neckar rivers.
In retaliation for these as
saults the German air force
struck back at Britain last night
in comparatively small force,
scattering bombs over the
Thames estuary and touching off
a brief alert in some districts OF
London about $50 a. m. No
bombs fell in the capital, how
ever.
Two of the enemy raiders
were reported destroyed and two
other Nazi planes were shot
down over their bases on the
continent by Raj fighters on
intruder patrols.

ly responsible for his actions on
the night of May As, l943, when
Private Willie McRae, 24-year-
old Negro soldier, was h t

Major Charles B. Horton, psy-

that he had examined Col. Col

time. Major Horton said that nc
had conducted a three-day ex'
animation of the former COM

The psychiatrist testified that
in his opinion Col. Colman's
mental disturbances on the night
of the shooting were the result
of alcoholic intoxication rather
than mental collapse.
