Clothing taken from the body of a young man found in the Ohio river near Portsmouth Ohio last May is in the possession of Sgt L L Walker of the state police. He plans to confer with Harold Graham's relatives and ask them to inspect the clothing to see if it was worn by Graham at his disappearance from Pittsburgh on January 17 1927.
