The Home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes FIFTH A T BRALEY CASE UNSOLVED AUTHORITIES POST LISTS OF ARTICLES FOUND. Letter Written to Vermont Bank 3i anted as Executor in Will Discovered In Cache. No further light was thrown yester day on the mystery surrounding a cache discovered in the underbrush of Macleay park containing the will and private papers of Fred N. Braley. former banker of Barre, Vt., who has been missing since January, 1919. Whether the banker met with foul play and the murderer hid his effects in this secluded nook, or Mr. Braley made use of the hiding place to se crete personal papers and disappeared without disclosing it to anyone, are questions which the discovery does not answer. Though a list of the articles found" has been filed with County Clerk Bev eridge by Attorney George W. Gear hart, to whom the finders, Ben Bech tel and Charles L. Miner turned them over, and lists have been posted in the courthouse and on the bridges across the Willamette, no claim was made to them yesterday. Mr. Gear hart is writing a Vermont bank, named as executor in the will found, concerning the discovery. The attorney believes it very likely that a trustee for the estate may al ready have been appointed In Ver mont, due to the long ' unexplained absence of Mr. Braley, to take care of his property in that state. The dis covery leads the lawyer to the con clusion that Mr. Braley either is dead or demented. The missing man left J5000 to a housekeeper and the rest of his estate chiefly to charitable in stitutions in trust, and it is not be lieved he had any close relatives. Several cousins are said to be living in Vermont but they have not yet been heard from. The will . may be filed without charge and kept in the records of the county clerk's office until a relative or debtor seeks appointment as ex ecutor. FACULTY IS INCREASE!
