A formula for a mixture of chicken feed,' found at the Riv erside chicken ranch where Gor don Stewart Northcott is accused of murdering four boys, today was made by investigating officers the basis for a new and startling ' theory of the disposal of bodies or the euppoeed victims. . u .

After the 1 questioning the peace officer re versed his opinion and admitted he was convinced that the young 1 brothers were those whom Clark said Northcott killed. Reasons Given Chambers said be based his positive conclusion on Clark's de scription of the Winalow boys, of theff mannerisms and of the dates given. The Wlnslow' boys disap peared last May 16, and Clark de clared the two brothers were at the ranch in the last part of May. He said they were there about ten days before they disappeared, and after which he insisted North cott told him he had killed them. II1 WOMAN'S STO . EUREKA, Sept. 24. (AP).
