SATURDAY, DECEMBERS, 1923 HUBDEfi SUSPECT IH MGE COUNTY Woman Believed To Have Fig ured in Death of Man Lived In Florida ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 8.- —Coun- I ty Sheriff Karel this morning made; public a statement given him by a j prisoner named Jones in the coun- i ty jail here for theft, which al- i leged wife Was connected ; with the murder of Haytt D. Oris- I son, Greensboro, N. C., druggist, several months ago at a creek north of Jacksonville. About a year ago , the sheriff | said, the druggist left Jacksonville | by automobile en route to his North j Carolina home, and then mysteri ously disappeared. Hearing noth- ! ing from her husband, Mrs. Gris ; som started an investigation which resulted in the fining of her hus- | Lard’s body nea- a creek north ■>f Jacksonville, .vita the lamaged car close by. According to friends who knew Mr. Grissom, who was returning north from St. Petersburg;, he was considered as a reckless driver, and it was at first thought he had crashed into a bridge over the creek and met his .loath, investi gation instituted by the police, however, led to the-adoption of the theory of murder, and a woman by the nam,e of Jones, was suspected, but eventually dropped, as having L&, sonle knowledge of the crime. Sheriff Karel said the case had laded from his memory until two weeks ago when his suspicions were attracted his attention from a prac tical criminal standpoint, but soon aroused by the appearance of a couple in the local polic ■ court. His suspicions wer • strengthen ed, he sai l, by the man accusing his wife as having stolen i car from him, and other statements which c.-uld not be substantiated by ref erences that Karel nought for over the wires from Columbus, Ohio. An examination of the car gave him a due, the officer said, and when later the stolen car was found in a garage at Lake Alfred with a bill against the owners, a Mr. and Mrs. Jones, he felt sure that the sooner they were run down the better. It was an easy matter, the sher itf said, to get in touch with the' couple, as the woman had sustained I a fracture to one of her ribs in an accident.. The woman will be held pending! further investigations " U lU‘ 1. 11 ■ URGE UTILITY COMMITTEE TOR PUBLIC MOTOR CARS MIAMI, Fla., Dee. B.—Advo cacy of legislation io place all pub lic service motor vehicles under the regulation of state utility regular ity commissions was argued in a report presented to the National k Association of Railway aud Utili * lies commissioners in annual meet ing here Thrusday, by the asso ciation’a committee on motor ve hicle transportation.
