The latest development in the in- vestigation is the arrest of 2 man giv- ing the name of Roy Boltz, 36, at San- dusky, named by the 9-year-old girl who started the far-reaching probe early this month. While a_total of 11 persons, includ- ing an 83.yearold man and young boys, are being held on various charges, a warrant was issued for the brother of one of the five girls who testified before the present grand jury. Investigators have found, Sheriff Edward Rasmussen says, that the orgies, involving members of some of he best families in Willoughby, have < | Adrian, Mich., Goal of 68-Year-0ld <hip owners want them included in For all members of the family, children Public | this proposed compensation act so as {o aveid responsibility for caring for aboard ship and to pass an settlements on to the insur-| Woman as She Leaves South Dakota. them damage ance_companies “We want to prevent accidents, |ymi to collect damages.” he siated “The convention also passed | Jution condemning the manner in| Which the Department of Labor deals | By the Asse OMAHA.
