FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OREGON Heppner relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Percy L. Gentry of Oregon Cly, who were murdered early last week while on a trip to Mexico, attended funeral serv Ices for the couple Monday in Portland. Meanwhile authorities In Mex Ico were seeking a suspect In the case, known variously as Carroll Boyd Nanny, Earl Van Rliirirnm and Hi'dron Dlarldon But he had not been located, and the couple's pickup truck and camper remained missing. Centry, 62, Is a brother of Larrv Gentry of Rhea Creek. Ho is also a cousin of Archie Mun kers and Vernon Munkers. Gen trv. together with the two cous ins and their wives, attended the services Monday and return ed Monday night Larry Gentry and his son had gone to Portland earlier to be with the mother of the Gentry brothers. The Oregon City couple has two sons, Allan of Portland and Larry of San Jose, Calif., and one of them returned from Mex ico just prior to the funeral. They had identified the bodies of their parents. Percy Gentry, a former yard- master for Southern Pacific Railway Co. In Portland, retired recently, and he and his wife. Margaret, 57, left on the trip to Mexico with the camper and pickup. They stopped for a visit here for two days early in Oc tober while enroute south. The murder occurred about 128 miles north of Mexico City, the brother here said. The bodies were found near a side road, off a highway. Gentry's body, which was described as "machete slashed and bullet-riddled", was found among rocks, and pol ice searchers found Mrs. Gentry's body a few days later about 600 feet from that of her husband. The Heppner man said that It was not known for sure that the bodies were slashed with a knife. He theorized that the slashings may have been done by animate In the rather remote area. The man who at first was Identified as Van Blaricom, said to be discharged from the Air Force or an ex-Marine and vet eran of the Korean War, wus seen In company with the Ore gon City couple prior to their deaths. Larry Gentry said that a letter found indicated that he planned to show them scenic attractions In Mexico. FBI in Las Vegas, Nev., identified him as Carroll Boyd Nanny, 35, who uses the alias of Van Blaricom. Earlier. Mexican authorities identified him as Hedron Dlarl don. They are all now believed to be the same man. Nannv Is wanted in Las Vega as a fugitive for jumping bail while awaiting arraignment in V. S. District Court on a charge of Interstate transportation of a stolen automobile (violation of the Dyer Act). One of manv reports that en sued after the killings said that the Gentrys' truck had been traced to the state of Hidalgo, which lies east of Queretaro, the state in which the killings oc curred. However, Larry Gentry said after returning from Port land Monday that the lamiiy I had no information tnat tne 1 pickup had been located. The brother said that the Gentrys had planned to spend the winter In Mexico and then take a boat trip on their return north. Robbery apparently was motive for the killings, but they did not carry a large amount of cash, since most of their funds was in traveler's checks. ft ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY STORE HOURS 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. .--L'ui-J REDUCED TO CLEAR WOMENS' BETTER DRESSES Group 1 $2 Group 3 $4 Group 2 $3 Group 4 $8 7 ONLY WOMEN'S GIRDLES SLIGHTLY SOILED Reg. 5.95 Now 3. 2 ONLY WOMEN'S PENN PREST BLOUSES, SIZE 32 Reg. 3.98 Now 99c 46 PR.
