Fontana, formerly technician and laboratory expert at Charity Hospital Im r , ||]j ftOW W" uMai lic <?< >'> ? I'm | ted States Veterans' Hospital at Al* g'ers, La:, today joined Dr. Oh^uJeK , W. Duval and Dr. J. A. Lanford, pa * hologists, in declaring that the bodies found in Lake La Fpurche iast Decem ber and identified as those of Watt ; Daniel and T. F. Uichard, could not have been in the' water more than forty-eigl^t hours. Daniel and Kich ai.l w i'jc k idimpped fey hooded m. n near Bastrop, the evening of August 24, 1922, and the bodies were found in the lake December 22. The l?u Klux Klan was held responsible for the kid napping and alleged murders by Gov ernor Parker and others but members of the organization in Morehouse Parish from the beginning have charged that the bodies were "plant ed" in the lake in order to fasten the crime on the Klan. When the autopsies were performed Dr. Duval and Dr. Langford removed many of the fractued bones and sent them to New Orleans to Dr. Fontanu i .? who scraped them, measured the frac tures and put them together. Dr. Fontana declared today the bodies could not have been in the state of preservation which existed when they were found had they been in the open air, in water or buried in the earth for four months. Because the undertaker who took charge of them applied ' disinfectants before the au topsies he could not determine whether they had been embalmed, he said, and the only other solution, i7i the absence of this, was that they might have been kept in an ice box. Dr. Fontana had charge of the bones from the time of their receipt here until they were sent to Bastrop to he introduced as evidence at the oped hearing. Dr. Fontana said there were many interesting features about the bodies which were not incorporated in the re port of the pathologists, but he did not go into details. The statement last night by the pathologists that the bodies* could not have been in the water more than a few hours was the first intimation of ; the kind to reach the public and inter est in the case revived almost to the m height it attained last winter during the progress of the open hearing. Hunting Season Opened Yesterday. The open season for shooting ducks ahd doves opened Thursday and quite a number- of sportsmen took advan tage of the first day. Two parties _made a trip down the 'Wateree in motor boats in quest of ducks and another party went by way of auto mobiles to Columbia where they will take a motor boat down the Congaree where it forms a junction with the Wateree and make the trip back to Camden by water. Other parties were out in quest of doves. The season for daves and ducks lasts until January 31st. There is no open season for wood or summer ducks.
