Bloodstains Found
On Youth's Clothes
Said To Be Human
Wheeling, W. Va.-(U.R) Hu
man bloodstains were found Sat
urday on overalls of a 14-year-old
twin taken into custody
with his brother after the blud
geon slaying of nine-year-old
Cub Scout David Powell.
Ohio county authorities said
they were awaiting results of ad
ditional tests to determine whe
ther the stains matched the
blood of the battered victim,
State police technicians also
were comparing dirt on the gar
ment with earth samples from
beneath the porch-' where - the
Scout's body lay.
The twins, described as "hot
suspects" by County Prosecutor
Joseph A. Gompers, remained
with their parents in whose cus
tody they were released after
brief questioning Friday night
Lie Detector Tests
Police also revealed that a
teenaged chum of the twins had
submitted to a lie detector test
administered by Trooper James
Baisden. The results were not
; revealed.
The Powell boy s body was
found Friday under the porch of
a neighbor's home where young
sters sometimes held "club'
meetings. The young victim ap
parently was attacked as he
made the rounds of neighbors'
homes selling tickets for a Cub
; Scout project.
The twin first told authorities
the stains on his overalls came
from a "catsup sandwich." Later
the husky youth said they came
from 'pigeon's blood."
Wheeling Patrolman Reece
Blair returned from Charleston
with the report the laboratory
tests showed the markings to be
human blood.
