New Hampshire, Mt. Clay—On about September 1, 1956 John Ochab (37) apparently slipped on wet rocks and fell to his death a few feet below the summit of Mt. Clay. He fell down the gully toward the Great Gulf on the east slope of Mt. Clay. Ochab was alone and the accident can be constructed only in retrospect. His body was found September 5. It had been a rainy week and the rocks were wet and slippery and he was wearing sneakers.
