Third Party Takes to '46 Stump in Waterbury
Assaulted Victim Dies In Hospital
 Michael McKenno
 Succumbs Today
 To Skull Fracture

To simple charge of assault will probably be added today a charge of manslaughter against Edward Daley 46, of State Hotel, 203 South Main Street. Issuing of the new charge Prosecutor Stephen Homick said hinges on the outcome of a confer ence with Deputy County Coroner William Jones, Jr.
 The new twist in the assault case came when Michael McKenna, 60 also of the State Hotel, succumbed to injuries allegedly inflicted by Daley in fight in front of the hotel June q.
 Daley, at liberty as coroner s prisoner on bonds of $500, received a continuance to July 30 when ar |raigned before Judge Charles R. Summa in City Court today. Pros ecutor Homick said today he may ask for an additional $500 bond in the event new charge is issued. Fracture Causes Death
 McKenna, under treatment at St. Mary's Hospital for a skull fracture since the incident, died at $50 A. M. today. Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Harold F. Merrill said death was due to the skull fracture.
 Deputy Coroner Jones, who began his preliminary investigation when McKenna was admitted to the hos pital, will hold a formal inquest this week.
 Investigating the circumstances 7 of the alleged assault, Inspector Jo- seph R. Bender said, were Detective It. John Calvin and Detective James Stack. The detectives said Daley was not intoxicated when he punched McKenna in front of the hotel. Daley told investigating of- ficers that McKenna made me angry when he struck another man.
 McKenna, who had been drinking before the fight, started for Daley, | it is alleged. and it was then that the accused struck the older man. The punch, police said, was not the cause of the dead mans serious in jury, but merely precipitated Mo Kenna to the pavement where his head struck the curbing.
 Born In Ireland
 Taken to St. Marys Hospital in the police ambulance, McKenna was Immediately placed on the danger list and remained there until his demise today. A few days ago hos oital authorities reported McKenna was slightly improved, and his death today, although not a total surprise to police, was described by them as somewhat unexpected"
 Daley, whose previous record shows a conviction for ringing false alarms, will be arraigned in City Court tomorrow if new charge is forthcoming.
 MT. McKenna was born in Ireland and resided in this city for 37 years. He was employed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
 His survivors are his mother, Mrs. Thomas McKenna of Ireland i; three brothers, Thomas and John of Ireland, and Dennis McKenna pf Northampton. Mass; three sis 5ers, Mrs. James Tehan and Miss Katherine McKenna of Ireland, and Mrs. John Griffin of Waterbury; and several nieces and nepheWs.

Nazi Refused 10 Rest
While Helping Yanks
To Find Czech Cache
By |. S. B. Shapiro
North Amerieon Newspaper AIlione.

NoHn Amefteon newspaper AiIfonce
STECHOWICE, Czechoslovakia,
Feb. IL Delayed The story of the
recovery of the documents hidden
by the NaZis and unearthed today in
a gulley miles from this pictur-
esque town on the Moldau River
really began last November in a
drab prison camp run by the French
near Mulhouse.
Among the prisoners there was
24-year-old Nazi Sergt. Gunther
Achenbach, strong and handsome
but broken in spirit. Achenbach
spent his days and nights dreaming
up schemes of how he could gain
his freedom. Escape was well-nigh
impossible and release was months,
perhaps years, distant.
French Doubtful.
BY last November the hard rou-
tine of the French prison camp had
drained the last of the fighting
spirit from Achenbach's heart. He
asked for an interview with French
intelligence officers and to them he
offered his precious information.
The French were dubious and
dumped the problem into the laps
of the Americans. Early in Febru-
airy Achenbach was brought to
Frankfort and questioned closely by
American intelligence officers. Soon
thereafter the expedition into
Czechoslovakia was organized.
Achenbach rode in the cab of one
of the trucks heading for Stecho-
vice. When the convoy arrived
here he was transferred to the COM
mand car and directed the expedi-
tion to the gulley where the cache
eventually was unearthed. When
the digging began, Achenbach
worked with savage intensity-re-
fusing even to pause for meals.
Often he would work alone at the
sharc head, knee-deep in water.
Ordered to rest, he would sit at the
foot of a nearby tree and weep.
He became so much an inspiration
to the party that we forgot he was
a prisoner; at one time he was de-
tailed to guard equipment including

that sufficient personnel would be
available to put the plan into effect
