The latest in a series of grisly discoveries this week came Wednesday, said Clackamas County sheriff's Lt. Donald A. Vicars. "We're not sure exactly what we've got yet," Vicars said of the case.

Neither the sex nor the identity of the sixth body have been determined, Vicars said. The five others have been identified as women, probably in their 20s or 30s. About a dozen Scouts joined 20 sheriff's officers combing a 200- square-yard area of the hillside about 10 miles southeast of Molalla, which is about 20 miles south of Portland. the judge and two lay assistants consider a verdict.

Sadly Missed, Children, Grandchildren Sisters Mistakenly freed convict robs market in Scranton SCRANTON (AP) Police officials believe a man mistakenly released from prison last week made off with, $250 after threatening to "blow the heads off" a store clerk and her 12-year-old daughter. Robert P. Caswell is considered a suspect in the robbery of a West Scranton corner market last Saturday, just five days after he was released from the Lewisburg federal penitentiary, Scranton Capt. Frank Roche said.

Caswell, who is considered armed and dangerous, was scheduled to begin serving a state sentence for a supermarket robbery. Instead, he was released from Lewisburg when he finished serving a 10-year federal term for a 1973 bank robbery. A spokesman for the Lewisburg facility said prison administrators freed Caswell Aug. 24 because no other court system had filed a detainer to keep him in custody. Lackawanna County officials, however, insisted that when Caswell was sentenced in 1984, they filed a detainer with Sing Sing federal prison in New York, where he spent much of his federal term before being sent to Lewisburg.

During the robbery Saturday, the clerk told police, a man walked into the store, asked for a pack of cigarettes and handed her a $5 bill. As she returned the change, he slapped her across the face and demanded all the money from the register. The robber ordered her to sit on the floor with her daughter. As he was walking to the door, he said: "If you touch the phone, I'll blow your heads -TodayIn the skies Sunset today 7:35 p.m. The planet Mars is at aphelion Sunrise tomorrow 6:33 a.m.
