yoh1, Crow Case Still BaMZes State Police
 Wolcott's Double Murder Event After
 IF Years Remains Unsolved Episode;
 Alleged Murderer Simply. Vanished

Although the l2th anniversary of Wolcott's famed double-murder has passed and that much-repeated question still remains unanswered, police are not without hopes that the eccentric Wolcott Shack-dwell- CT will be found.
 Crow, who lived as a hermit" in Wolcott for nearly 15 years, fled into the jungle-like Wolcott forest June 24, 1884, a few min utes after emptying two guns at 22-year old Clarence Yuskis and Julius KarvauSkas, 45, the Yuskis farmland, in the yard of their home.
 The most intensive manhunt made in this part of the state failed to
 uncover any clues as to his where abouts, until four years' ago.
 The story of what happened four years ago is told by a police of- ficer who participated in the orig 1nal search and who has kept in close touch with the case.
 Following ''hot tip" that Crow was living in Massachusetts,, local and State police joined forces and sped to . Massachusetts farmhouse, owned by relatives of a prominent Wolcott family. Suspicious had been voiced many times that a Wolcott family was instrumental in Crows getaway, and police took up the new trail hoeefully.
 Suspect Vanishes
 When they arrived at the farm hn11Cn 0 Crows description was reported to be working, they learned that the farmland had just left. He never returned. And the employer had no information on his background. Police say the description given by neighbors fit exactly the descrip- tion they had of Crow.
 A chief drawback in the search for Crow has been the lack of pho- tographS. Crow had a beard when the only available picture of him was taken, and police now have only an artists drawing of what Crow looked like when he disap- peared. And they believe 12 years have done much to his appear ance.
 Crow was short but heavy-built man, about five feet two and weigh ing about 190 pounds. He was in his early sos at the time of the slayingS. At one time he held factory jobs in Waterbury, but dur ing his last years in Wolcott he did not work.
 Looked upon merely as another town character, Crow soon after the staying become vivid personality in the talk of the townspeople, who analysed every move he had made in years past. Some held him to be 8 man of wealth and souvenir hunters dug around bare spots in the woods, looking for hidden treas UreS.
 If Crow had anything of value he took it with him, for nothing but dirty clothes and 8 few meager household possessions were found in his one-room hut. His small car, left behind as he fled into the woods, was soon attached and taken over by creditors.

 Remains Open Case
 Many of the policemen who worked in the original investiga- tion of the Crow case now hold prominent positions in police forces, and all have the mystery listed as an "open case".
 Among them are Capt. William L. who is in charge of the Bethany State barracks and who had charge of the extensive search made after the killings. Others in- clude Joseph w. Bendler, who was a detective with the Waterbury Po- lice Force and is now chief inspec- tor; Thomas F. Laden, who was 3 State police officer and is now county detective here: and State Trooper Adolph Pastore, who since gained prominence in the search for Daniel J. Leary. r.
