IUPD- Authorities said today they will issue a warrant for the arrest of Larry Lord Motherwell on mur der charges despite the fact they consider it "pretty hopeless" to determine the cause of a Wash ington, D.C., widow's death. The statement followed an in vestigation of, the site where the bones of Mrs. Pearl Putney, 72, were tound sunday ay a woman looking for pine cones. In Sacramento, criminologist Roger Greene said he will conduct further tests to determine the cause of Mrs. Putney's death However, Greene was skeptical because of the poor condition of the bones, which were identified from dental charts. Sierra County Sheriff Dewey Johnson said that although no new findings were discovered Wednesday, the circumstances of the case warranted the arrest The area in which the bones were found is 90 miles from Marysville, Calif., where Mrs Putney was last seen leaving a hotel with Mgtherwcll a year ago. Motherwell, 42, once suspected, but cleared, of killing hi; men tally retarded infant daughter; told police in Las Vegas Jan. 18 that he drove Mrs. Putney from Marysville to Las Vegas, Aug. 16, 1958. and left her there to marry another man. He said he never saw her again. 1 It was believed that Mrs. Put' ney had close to $20,000 in cash and $30,000 in securities when she disappeared a year ago on an auto trip with Motherwell. . Police conducted a nationwide million people without power for 13 hours was not completely clear. Peak loads caused by swelter' ing weather and the increased use of cooling devices, burned out the cables. That was the power com pany's first explanation. An of fi cial of the company Consolidated t'dison said later, however, that a dozen other things, such as rats gnawing on the cables, might have been involved. City and state agencies began I investigations 10 Determine ine exact cause and lake measures as.ain.st any recurrence. But one thing was clear. From the millionaires on the fashionable East Side to the slum dwellers on the upper West Side, the people in the stricken area refused to panic. When night come Monday, po lice became alarmed at the pos sibilities for panic and violence among the shadowy streets and lightless buildings. The area was saturated with po lice and detectives, but no disor ders were reported. The blacked-out area stretched 51 blocks along the West Side, and 30 blocks along the East Side. It reached a mile and a half wide, from the Hudson to the East River. Police Commissioner Stephen P. Kennedy said the police helped to prevent trouble, "but the main reason why the unlighted streets were not turned into a dark and steaming jungle was the reaction of the community." s "The people of the area faced a difficult challenge and rose above it," he said. "In the vast ma'jori ty of cases the emergency was faced with a spirit of understand ing and cooperation. In an area with a serious crime problem, the rate of crime actually decreased radically. "It is indeed ironical," he added, "that it took a major crisis such as this to bring out the best instincts of the community. In the dark all men were the same color." WIFE SHOT AS PROWLER BELZONI.
