MOULTRIE ARSON
RING UNCOVERED
Three Men Arrested And More
Wanted —Toy Balloons Used
To Start Fires
MOULTRIZ, Apr' 1 - 25.—The in-
Vistigatior of a number of mysteri
ous fires wh'ch have o'-.jrrel m am.
?round Mojitrio in recent weeks, will
!?<• resumed the latter p-i’t of th*.
v.;-*_ k, aceorairg to wo r d received by
officers h
Information gathered b’ State Fire
Marshal Albert Sharpe, a special rep
i esentative of an underwriters asso
ciation and Sheriff Beard resulted
in the arrest of three men late last
week on a charge of arson. The of
ficers claim that Wade Collier and
Ab Moree, two of the accused men,
confessed. As a result of stories th y
told J. N. Garrett, a well to do Greek
restaurant owner, was arrested also.
According to the investigators Collier
admitted that he and Moree burned a
house owned by Garrett, receiving
$25 for the job. They said Garre t
wanted to collect the insurance he
carried on it.
With their work unfinished Sharpe
and the special investigator were
called Saturday to another Georgia
city. Mr. Sharpe told a Moultrie
newspaper man that probably five
more arrests would be made here.
Moree told the officers, they say,
that Collier confessed to him that he
had helped to burn five residences
and one store. The latter, however,
disclaims any connection with tire
save the one which he insists that
Garrett employed him and Moree to
start. Moree prior to his latest ar
rest already was under indictment for
arsi J, it being alleged that he burn
ed a barn near Doerun, after break
ing into and stealing a wagon load
of corn. He was tried a few days
ago for that offense and was sen
tenced to one year in the peniten
tiary.
Local officers do not place very
mui h credence in that part of Mo
ree’s story concerning the confession
that he claims Collier made to him
concerning the burning of a Moultrie
store,
Moree has been inclined to talk
rather freely since his alleged con
fession to the officers. He is even
said to have told them how the fires
were set. According to this alleged
confession, a toy balloon was filled
with gasoline and suspended from the
ceiling. A lamp was set beneath mid
after a certain length of time it
would result in a light explosion
which uold produce a fire, the ceil
ing having previously been saturated
with a mixture of gasoline and kero
sene oil. Moree said also that the
time the fire would break out could
be pretty well regulated by the dis
tance the lamp was fixed beneath
the gasoline holding balloon. If a
quick job was wanted the lamp would
be set just a short distance and if
the plans called for the fire to get
under way after the lapse of several
hours, the lamp was of course placed
near the floor.
An explosion preceded one fire
which destroyed a residence near the
business district here last fail. Al
most immediately after the blast,
which could be heard several blocks,
the entire wooden structure seemed
to catch on fire.
Andrew Sturgeois, a Greek, who
owned this residence, is also involv
ed by Moree’s confession. He de
clares that Collier told him that he
was responsible for the blaze and
that the explosion was premature,
adding that “I came very near being
caught.”
Moree also told him that Collier
said that the reason Sturgeois sold
his business here and moved back to
Greece was that he called on him so
frequently for money with threats
of exposure unless it was forthcom
ing. There is corroborative evidence
to this part of Moree’s story. Sher
iff Beard recalling that Collier,
when arrested a few months ago for
giving .worthless checks and being
told by the court that he could secure
Ins release by paying up the money
that he unlawfully collected, went by
Sturgeois’ store and got S6O, the sum
needed. It was just a few days later
that Sturgeois sold out and sailed for
Greece. Sheriff Beard also says that
on their way to the Greek’s store that
Collier told him that ‘'if he doesn’t let
me have the money, he will have
to go to jail with me and it won’t be
for a misdemeanor, either.”

His Spring Training >
jr M-' ||
ShO l
f
Walter Hiers, Paramount come
d an, is a great baseball fan, but
he takes his spring training in a
new form. He just naturally has
to keep in shape for his strenu
ous work in motion pictures so he
eats ice cream cones. In “Is
Matrimony a Failure?”, the Para
mount comedy, Hiers lost a lot of
weight. He is here shown regain
ing it.
AT THE RYLANDER
There are six married couples rep
resented in the c::. t of “Is Matrimony
a Failure?” the new'Paramount spe
cial comedy, directed by Japes Cruze
which comes to tile Rylander theater
Wednesday.
As sugg 1 l.y the title, this is a
comedy of matrimonial errors and al
though the picture presents and dis
cusses in a highly humorous vein, the
question, it doesn’t attempt to answer
it, but closes, as it begins, with a
large interrogation point.
The six families are played by the
follow’ng well-known screen artists:
T. Roy Barnes and Lila Lee, Lois
Wilson and Walter Hiers, ZaSu Pitts
and Arthur Hoyt, Lillian Leighton
and Tully Marshall, Sylvia Ashton
and Otis Harlan and Charles Ogle
and Ethel Wales. In addition to
these there are several other impor
tant characters, which make this cast
one of the largest assemblages of
scr'.'n luminaries ever seen.
The stag success “Ti e Open
Door” was the basis for this new com
edy. which was seenarized by Wai
ter Woods.
HIGH SCHOOL PLAYS
CORDELE WEDNESDAY
The High School “Blues” will stage
their next diamond encounter here
Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 o’colck
with Cordele high school furnishing
the opposition.
The high school lads are fast
rounding into shape, and are capable
of putting on a nifty exhibition of
the national pastime. Kinson Find
ley will probably be in the rifle pit
for the local. Captain Edwin Play
er is out of the game temporarily
with a broken finger and ‘Tick’ How
ard will most likely be on the receiv
ing end in place of the captain. The
game will be played at the city Play
ground. An admission price of
and 35 cents will be charged to de
fray expenses.

SPLENDID DAIRY
LECTURE HEARD
H. c Moblev Illustrates Talk To
Farmers With Interesting
Charts
A number of farmers and others
interested in dairying as a source of
additional cash on the farm atter.d
--j ed the lecture at the courthouse Mon
day afternoon by H. S. Mobley, of
the extension department of the In
! ternational Harvester Company. It
was a splendid talk, helpful and full
of suggestions and instructions on
'how to succeed with dairying in a
[small way as well as on a more ex-i
I tensive scale. It was well illustrated
! with charts, three of which are
! shown here.
Concerning the “Cow Before the
Jury” chart, Mr. Mobley said:
“The verdict of a jury, based on

j dom has tried and proven to be the
, best in administering justice. Civili
zation, without trial by jury would

“The vital thing here is the evi

POSTAL OFFICE GAIN HERE
GREATEST IN TWO STATES
Sam Williamson, manager for the -
Postal Telegraph company in Ameri
cus, has been awarded first prize by
the company in a competition among
the stations of -Georgia and Florida
for the greatest increase in business
for March over the same month last
year, coupled with general efficiency,
i completeness of records, etc. The an- I
[ nouncement has just been made by I
I J. C. Dolive, superintendent, at At- j
lanta. The Albany office was given |
I third place and Brunswick tailed in
j 26th position. The winning of this :
| honor for three consecutive months
I will mean a free trip to New York
for Mr. Williamson, and inasmuch as
business continues to boom for him,
he says, and he had rather light
months last year with which to com- I
pare the current business, he feels
he has a splendid chance to win'thi
trip.
POSTMASTER ASTOUNDED
BY JACKSONVILLE TRIP
Postmaster D. F. Davenport has
just returned from two weeks spent
at Jacksonville, Fla., with his daugh
ter, Mrs. Qu:mby and Mr.
Melton. Mrs. Davenport, who was
with him, remained there for u more
extended visit with Mr. and Mrs.
Melton.
“It was a most delightful trip,”
said '»lr. Davenport, “and my first
visit to Jacksonville. 1 was astound
ed by the vast amount of building
going on there and the great busi
ness activity. I predict that in 25
years it will be largest city between
Baltimore and New Orleans. And
strange as it may sound, I saw no
evidence of liquor anywhere, except
one man who was drunk. The peo
rde there apparently have learned to
let liquor alone and I saw none of
it and heard little about it. I at
tended a meeting of the Kiwanis club
there and I tell you it is a live wire
bunch.
"Mrs. Davenport and I made a
j beat trip down the St. Johns river,
the most beautiful sight I have ever
seen; it was magnificent. The whole
two weeks was a wonderful outing,
but I am glad to get back to Ameri
cus again, nevertheless.”
J. 11. Randall came from his home
; in Smithville Monday and spent the
| day in Americus.
