Five riders find bag, bones near Proebstel
Bones, a black and red bag and a torn :$1 bill were found by five persons riding horses on Green Moun- tain Tuesday.
The bones included rib and spinal ·bones, but .no skull. The Proebstel- area couple who reported the find to the Clark County Sheriff's Office could not tell if the bones were that of a human. Deputies were being led to the spot on horseback today.
The bag was found about 100 yards from the bones, one of the riders said. Something was written on.it, but she did not remember what.
She found the $1 bill, torn in four equal pieces, shortly before coming on the bones, she said.
Three other persons were on the ride when the bories were spotted in the Proebstel area near Green Moun- tain, about 10 miles 'east of Van- couver.
Another rider said the bag looked like an airline bag.
Three other persons were on the ride when the bories were spotted in the Proebstel area near Green Moun- tain, about 10 miles 'east of Van- couver.
Another rider said the bag looked like an airline bag. It had the name of an airline written on it, but he could not recall which, he said.
The possibility was raised that the bones could be those of the elusive "D.B. Cooper," who hijacked a North- west Orient Airlines jet in Seattle Nov. 24, 1971. He parachuted out with $200,000 somewhere over Southwest Washington. He carried a small briefcase or attache case.
The money consisted of 10,000 $20 bills wrapped in a parachute canopy.
The Vancouver FBI agent in charge, John Gordon; said the skimpy information was not enough for him to tell whether his agency is interest- ed in the bones. He said he was keeping in touch with the sheriff's office regarding the case and would wait to see what else deputies turnell up today.

at least a portion of time between 3:00 pm and 10:00 pm the day before Thanksgiving. She advised ROMAN did not smoke in 1971, had no parachuting experience to her knowledge, and made no flights between Portland and Cattle to her knowledge.
indicated ROMAN was born Oct. 9, 1927. After viewing the artist's conceptions of D. B. Cooper, she stated ROMAN Looked nothing like the concentions.
caid she had no reason to protect ROMAN
inasmuch AS by virtue of him killing his present wife and then committing suicide. She said that if she had any information relative to ROMAN's involvement with the D. B. Cooper hi-jacking, she would provide it to the FBI.
Based on the above information, it is suggested that Dr. JAMES A. ROMAN no longer be considered a suspect ingthe matter.
