Cryan, of 2066 Santa Clara Alameda, daughter of the Roysters, demanding $396.40 payment as the purchase price for Royster's-'crypt. The complaint alleges the' letter indicated the alternatives would be disentombment of the body or reference to an attorney for collection.

I A copy of this letter was sent to Mrs. Whitlock, the suit charges. Leon A. Clark, attorney for the association, said the only reason a copy of the letter was sent to MrsJVhitlock is that jshe asked to be kept advised of -the situation. WITHIN LAW He said the association was within the law in noting that disentombment is a possible alternative to non-payment In suchcase, he said, Die body is placed in a less expensive crypt or erave Clark said that none of toe $396.40 price of the crypt and entombment charges has beenl paid.

All costs for Mrs. Royster's entombment were paid by her daughtet; Mrs. Cryan, he added.

NOT RESPONSIBLE The action says that Mrs; Whitlock was in no way respon sible for the costs' of entomb ment of her brother, Thomas Royster, who died in May, 1956, although she "had contributed $1,000 to the costs.

Gibson had been ne gotiating to purchase the Judy Ann before Rost was hired by its owner to repossess it. THIRD MAN QUESTIONED A third fisherman was ques tioned by Eureka police yesterday. He added confusion to the mystery by recounting a radio conversation which he said took place June 3 or 4 between the Judy- Ann and an unidentified boat During the conversation William Ostertag told police, he heard the Judy Ann report she was leaking and taking water and was planning to head back to San Francisco for repairs.

Hearing of Dstertag's testi mony, Sonoma County CorOner Vernon Silvershield said: "It is all very strange. The Judy Ann was tied up in San Francisco June 3 and 4. Besides, it is gen erally believed she didn't carry a radio" WICL LOOK INTO IT He said thatos soon as a report' of Ostertag's story to Eureka police is received in So noma County, "we'll look it over and we may decide to talk to him ourselves. "Ostertag may know a lot more about this than ha is say ing," Silvershield said. The toroner said today ne Is convinced that Rost was stabbed a plot to steal the Judy Ann plot that apparently backfired.
