(AP) Investigators seeking the per son or persons who caused the wreck of the streamliner "City of San Francisco" August 12, 1939, admitted they were confused to day after questioning a suspect now lodged in a state asylum. Deputy District Attorney Geo. Faraday announced after a lengthy conference with the man at the state asylum here he was convinced he had knowledge of the crime. But asylum attend ants say the inmate has a record of delusions about train wrecks, possibly extending back before the streamliner was derailed near Harney, Nev., killing 24 persons and injuring 108. Records showed the man had twice been confined at Ukiah, and previously had been an inmate of a state asylum at Willard, N. Y. Faraday said some of the In mate's statements he knew to be factually correct, while others ap peared to stem from delusions. Chief clue to the train-wrecker was a leather jacket, wrapped about some tools, found in the bot tom of the Humboldt river near the accident scene. Investiga tors traced ownership last Janu ary to an Oregon man who pro duced convincing evidence he was in Oregon the day of the wreck, and said he had given the jacket to an itinerant one cold, wet night. Recently the Oregon man was escorted to the asylum here. where Sheriff Al Meeker said he identified the inmate as the Itin erant. Meeker said the insane man's cabin contained the names of Southern Pacific special agents and road crew foremen. . Woman Killed When Plane Dives Into House WINSLOW, Ariz., Sept. 6.
