              FOUR FOUND DEAD IN INDIANA AUTO
              
             Apparently Overcome by Fumes When
                  Machine Became Mired
                  
           FRANKFORT, Ind., Nov. 7 (AP) -
        Four persons - two young men and two young
        women - were found dead from carbon monoxide
        poisoning today in a car on a country road
        north of here.
           The dead were identified as MAX BOONE, 18,
        of nearby Kirklin; JOSEPH KEEVER, 18; JOAN
        McGINNIS, 17; and MRS. MARILYN SMITH BOONE,
        18, all of Frankfort. MRS. BOONE was a sister-
        in-law of MAX BOONE.
           Sheriff MAYNARD LEWIS said the four were
        seen together around Frankfort last night.
        He said KEEVER, a factory worker and owner
        of the car, and MRS. BOONE, were in the front
        seat. BOONE and MISS McGINNIS were in the back.
           The sheriff said the car became stuck in
        gravel at the side of the road and the four
        apparently were waiting for help when they
        were overcome by exhaust fumes. He said the
        coroner placed the time of death at about
        1 a.m.
