UNIONTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY, 29, 1936. TWO CENTS MAY ARREST STATE'S LEGISLATORS DROWNED MAN NOT WALTERS, NOWJERTA1N "Not Jeff," Says Fugitive's Brother-In-Law After Careful Inspection. The body fishermen pulled out of Lake Lynn last Saturday afternoon was buried this morning in Potter's field at Morgantown--unidentified. Authorities were certain of one thing, however: the partially decomposed body wasn't that of Jeff Walters who the night of February 7, 1935, shot and killed 15-year-old Anne Zinn, Nicholson township schoolgirl, as she sat in an automobile with her sweetheart. Late yesterday federal agents, going to Morgantown on strength of a report the lake victim was Waiters," made an examination of the body, watched a half dozen-people shake their heads when they viewed the remains, checked the records, and then dismissed the case with a curt: 'It isn't Walters." That's what Jeff's brother-in-law, who formerly worked at Clyde No.

1, said last night. And that was the verdict of Constable Grover Sw'aninger, of Smithfield, who knew Jeff for 20 years, and who handled virtually all of the preliminary investigation of the murder. These facts, too, led federal and Morgantown authorities to dismiss the matter: The lake victim's hair was dark and "bushy; Walters' hair was light and he was partially bald. The victim had a remarkable set of teeth, in near perfect condition. Walters' teeth Yi months ago were described as being "only fair," with several front teeth badly decayed.

The man body was found floating along on the lake, weighed "probably" 160 pounds and was of averaee" size. Walters weighed 190 pounds and was large framed. The drowning victim was 01 (Continued on Page Twelve) IN A A Waynesburg's Rain Comes On Schedule S. 0. The Specialist! ST.
