In Vancouver
VANCOUVER, B. C. Dec. 29
(Canadian Press) Belief that
25 -year -old Jenny Conroy of
West Vancouver was slain with
an axe or similar cudgel was
held by police today as they
sought to ascribe a motive to the
killing.
Possibility that the eirl. whose
battered body was found by a
roadside in suburban West Van
couver yesterday, had been
struck by a car and then dragged
from the road, was ruled out.
She was last seen Wednesday
evening when she took a bus on i
her way to a family reunion.
The body was found in a lonely
wooded area near a cemetery at
least eight blocks from the
route she would normally have
taken on her way to her broth

Captured Yanks Imprisoned
in Cellar While Bombs Fall
Bv HAL BOYLE
LA GLEIZE, Belgium, Dec. 26
(Delayed) (JP) - There wore
nine men in the liny cellar
five captured American officers
and four German guards.
The cellar was nine feet long
and four feet wide. It was the
first shelter they could find when
American guns owned upon a
nazi force trapped in a small
town in this sector.
The German guards were
frightened. They began to sing
to keep up their spirits. They
sang the nazi soldier's favorite
sentimental song "Lilt Mar
lcne." They were finishing up one
chorus when the first shell hit
the shelter. It crashed directly
through the wall with a tre
mendous explosion and all the
singing stopped,
"All four German guards were
either killed or badly wounded,"
said Lt. Scott Youmans of St.
Paul, Minn., one of the Amer
ican prisoners. "We tried to give
them first aid as well as we
could.
Yank Killtd
"While one of the American
officers was trying to patch up
one wounded man he himself
was killed, when a second shell
hit the cellar. We were caught
in the middle of a barrage by
our own guns. I never knew
anything could be that bad in
my life.
"In the next 30 seconds, three
more 105 millimeter shells
struck the cellar or right next
to it, rocking the whole area.
One of the wounded nails began
screaming and tried to crawl
across me, but he died In cou
plo of seconds. I could feel hli
blood running over me warm
in that cold room but I was
afraid to move his body was
some shelter against flying frag
ments. The drumbeat of gunfire con
tinued without letup for hours.
Youmans lost truck of time, liv
ing ' In fear that cueh second
would be his lust.
Bombing Begins
And then allied nlanes begun
to bomb the urea with great
crunching bursts.
"It got so bud wo gave up
hope," he recalled, "We felt it
wus impossible to come out of
that hell alive, lt kept up for
two full dnys. We hoped at the
lust for a bomb or shell to hit
us and end our misery to get
out of that perpetual suspense."
At the end of the two duys,
the remaining nazi troops in the
village burned or blev up their
vehicles and fled across the Am
blevc river. The next morning
American tanks and doughboys
enme in, freeing Youmans and
20 other Americans imprisoned
in other cellars.
"Thut was the best present I
ever received." said Youmans,
who, despite his ordeal, prompt
ly returned to duty.
"When I went into thnt ecllur
I thought this village was one
of the prettiest I had ever seen.
When I came out I couldn't rec
ognize it as the same place. It
had been beaten to pieces."

Heroic efforts were made to
rescue Fireman Harmon. Tren
ton townspeople first on the
scene after the wreck used shov
els and broken pieces of rail for
nearly an hour trying to dig
their way under tho overturned
tender.
At 12:45 a. m., skilled work
men with torches arrived and
began cutting away the sides of
tender. At two o'clock they got
their first sight of Harmon.
"1 can't last much longer," he
told rescuers, "please hurry."
Dr. W. C. Dudeck of Trenton
crawled into the narrow opening
to administer sedatives. Sparks
from the torches flew about
Harmon's head. He lost con
sciousness. Snow was thrown on
his clothing to keep it from ig
niting. A giant railroad crane arrived
to try to lift the tender, but it
was found to be too dangerous
because of the power lines. Har
mon, regaining consciousness
said, "I'm thirsty."

given him through rubber tub

had cut away all but the last

"I can't make it much longer:
I can't hold on," Harmon told
them.
At 5:30, just as the last piece
of steel was cut away, Harmon
died.
