Munson, who did not react to shock as violently as Miss Rooney, Is csn- Hned to his home on West Fifth, street. The position in which the body of Miss Reardon was found indicated that she had made a desperate struggle for her life, only to lose it whan safety was within her grasp.

Miss Reardon WES apparently the only one that Munson pulled from the window of the car after he made his way out. He let her go when she said she could swim. But the apparently became confused Ja her directions. Despite the icy waters that chilled and numbed her boay to the bone and clad in all her clothing, XTRs Reardon swam the almost unbelievable distance of more than 200 feet. She swam eastward, almost parallel to the bank, and reached her destine- tJon only to die of Exhaustion, unabl- to make the supreme effort draw- Ing herself, to safety.

F.

Mining Milling company at Gold Coin and with the aid of a chain and hooks these were attached to the bumper of the automobile.
