FARMER S WIFE FOUND IN WELL WITH THROAT CUT. Her Husband, Cam Duckworth, of Pleasant Grove, Is Sought—Mo ther-in-Law Held as Witness. . Americus, < J a.. Nov. 13.—With her throat cut from ear to ear the body of Mrs. Pearl Duckworth, wife of Sam Ihiekworh, well known farmer of Pleasant Grove community, seven miles southeast of here, was found in a well near her home late last night. Neigh bors who bad been asked to search for the woman by Mrs. Sal lie Duckworth, her mother-in-law, re covered the body, the well being searched at the suggestion of Mrs. Duckworth. Sam Duckworth, her husband, lias disappeared and Sheriff Harvey, Deputy Summers and a party of citizens of Leslie community are searching for him today. Mrs. Sallie Duckworth, who guided the searching party to the corpse in the well, was brought to Americus at daylight this morning and is being held in Sumter county jail as a material witness in the case. The case has mysterious aspects as it is known Mrs. Sallie Duck worth had been searching for her daughter-in law during several days and that yesterday she scour ed the neighborhood in company wiht a negro woman and when the two passed the well said, “Pearl may he found in the well. If sheis, her throat is cut.” Later, she ask ed a white neighbor to help her hunt for the missing woman, and again referred to the well, saying if she were found there her throat would he cut. This neighbor final ly informed Sheriff Harvey, who went out to Pleasant Grove about midnight and soon found the body in the well. He immediately ar rested Mrs. Sallie Duckworth and sent her to Americus. Later, searching about the premises, he located and destroyed a still which had recently been operated by some unknown person, and it is believed this still probably has some connection with the death of the woman. The Duckworths have lived in Pleasant Grove community during many years, and the finding ofthe woman’s body in the well has created a sensation here. Sam Duckworth, who is being sought for diligently hy the authorities, is well-known in Americus and throughout the county, and has heretofore been regarded as a res pectable and reliable farmer.
