Their were biuises on the head and body, but these weie caused mi doubtcdlj, he thought, when the couple were thrown over the edge of the dam onto the jagged locks below. Although joung Decker, who had been held on huspicion of having caused the girl's death, told heeral conflicting stmies, this was attributed to the dazed condition of his mind follow -lug the accident.
