One of the strangest cases in the annals of the New York City Missing Persons Bureau may require the exhumation of the body which lies under the headstone of Nicholas Matta, here in West Paris. Charles A. Matta of this town, who has been informed by authorities that his brother, Nicholas, is dead in New York City, told State Police that the same brother was buried here in May. The brother, according to Charles, was supposed to have died in New York, Jan. 29, and the body was sent here in a sealed casket for burial, May 3. A source at the Missing Persons Bureau said that several signs pointed to the fact that the first body sent here was that of an unknown person and not that of Matta. This evidence indicates that the real Nicholas Matta was taken out of Lower Bay, New York recently.

Troubled by disturbances at football games in this rural town of Foxboro, Mass., selectmen will tell the New England Patriots whether they can play the Dallas Cowboys as scheduled, their chairman says. Peter Stanton said the Board of Selectmen he heads will hold a hearing and decide whether to license the National Football League game scheduled here for Monday night, Sept. 21. If the license request is rejected, the Patriots would have several options, including a court appeal or moving the game elsewhere.
