LANCASTER CHARGED
WITH HIS SLAYING
Also Testifies That He Found
No Powder Burns Near Hole
Made By Bullet Which Fnter*
ed Head,
Miami, Fla., Aug. 0. (fP )—Testimony
that the body of 1 laden Clarke, young
writer, was bruised and bore no pow¬
der marks and that Captain \V. N.
Lancaster had threatened to “get rid”
of him was introduced today in the
prosecution’s efforts to prove the Brit¬
ish flier killed Clarke because of jeal¬
ousy oyer Jessie M. Keith-Miller,
Australian aviatrix.
The condition of Clarke’s body was
described by K. B. Bess, funeral di¬
rector, who prepared it for burial.
Over objections by J. M. Carson,
chief of defense counsel, he was al¬
lowed to testimony that in his experi¬
ence bullet wounds unprotected by
clothing always bore powder marks
in cases of suicide. He also said he
found a bruise on Clarke’s shoulder.
The defense contends Clarke killed
himself because of despondency over
financial troubles, a disease he bad
contracted and remorse for having
stolen from Lancaster the affections
of his flying partner.
Ho was shot to death in a room he
and Lancaster occupied at the home
of Mrs. Keith-Miller within twelve
hours aft«r the flier had returned
hurriedly after being notified Clarke
and Mrs. Keith-Miller planned to
marry.
The testimony regarding threats
was the second such charge made since
the trial began Tuesday. Previously,
J. F. Russell, who was associated with
Lancaster in a flying venture Mr
Latin-American Airways in the west,
told of threats made by Lancaster
when lie heard of intimacy between
Clarke and Mrs Keith-Miller while he
was away.
Today, M. G. Tancrel, who identified
himself as a naval captain and who
was also connected with the Latin
American Airways venture, testified
Lancaster told him in Nogales, Ariz.,
that he was going back to Miami to
“get rid of that -,” referring
to Clarke.
“Another time,” Tancrel testified in
response to questions from State At
torney N. Vernon Hawthorne, “I heard
Laneasted tell an old flying comrade |
in our hotel room in El Paso ‘I have
seen a lot of dead men and one more
won’t make any difference.’ ”
Tancrel explained that at that time
Lancaster was greatly concerned over
rumors that his fiance, Mrs. Keith
Miller, had fallen in love with Clarke
and was to marry him.
Tancrel testified Lancaster resigned
hastily from Latin-American Airways,
Inc., the company in which they were
associated, and planned an Immediate
return to Miami when he heard re¬
ports of tho Clarke-Keith-Mfiler at¬
tachment.
“The rumors of the attachment
were given to Lancaster by J. F. Rus¬
sell, who was afiociated with us. The
rumors were written Captain Russell
by his wife,” he said. Russell testi¬
fied Thursday that Lancaster said ho
would get rid of Clarke.

SEVEN ARE HELD
Slaying of Miss Janet Surget
Merrill, Aged R«duse, Re*
suits in Wholesale Arrests at
Natchez.
Natchez, Miss., Aug. G. pP)--The
mysterious slaying of Miss Janet
Surget Merrill, Belle of the 70’s turn
oil eccentric recluse, has placed seven
suspects in jail as the authorities
pressed hard for a solution of the
crime.
A witness has been found who said
he heard pistol shots and a woman’s
scream on Friday night from the aris¬
tocratic mansion, where the aged
spinster lived alone. With the infor¬
mation, the sheriff brought in four
white ben, a white woman and two
negro men for questioning.
The list comprised Richard Dana,
the bearded, long-haired owner of
the plantation adjoining the Merrill
place; his housekeeper, Miss Octavia
Dockery; John Geiger, a logger who
identified a coat found in the Merrill
home as his property; Odell Fergu¬
son, and T. W. Carr, white, and Geo.
Sims and R. Norman, negroes, who
were trailed by bloodhounds.
Officers said they learned that
Dana and Miss Dockery recently had
an argument with the slain wonn
over damage done to the Merrill prop¬
erty by Miss Dockery’s herd of goats,
They also recalled that Miss Dockery
had been attacked mysteriously a few
months ago and spent several weeks
in a hospital.
While admitting ownership of the
coat, Geiger said he had not seen the
coat since he left it in a shack on •'u»
Dana place some time ago.
The sheriff was working on the
theory that the killer of killers used
the coat to throw over the head of
the victim when the attack was made
but that when she fought back, she
was shot three times and her body
carried from the dining room of the
house to a clump of bushes 200 yards
from the dwelling.
“Twilight Sleep”
Might Be Used In
Slaying Mystery
Chicago, Aug. G. (A 5 )—(Investigators
may use a “truth serum” sometimes
known as “twilight sleep” on Hr.
William A. O’Brien in an effort to
clear up the mystery surrounding the
death of his wife, Vera.
Mrs. O’Brien died last Monday of
poisoning, and her husband has been
held since Wednesday for question¬
ing.
On the theory that with his senses
dulled by the drug he will answer
questions truthfully, the police said
they would subject him to the “twi¬
light sleep” test. Dr. O’Brien has al¬
ready submitted to a test by a “lie de¬
tector” machine. He insists his wife
killed herself.

BRUNSWICK, GA„ SUNDAY. AUG. 7, 1932.
John B. Colegrove, Taylorville,
Kidnaped From Home and
Taken to Unknown Destina*
tion and killed
I DISGRUNTLED PATRON
HELD AS HIS SLAYER
Suspect Arrested While Wash*
ing From Automobile Blood
Stains Which He Said Came
From Rabbits.
Springfield, 111. Aug. 6. (fP)—Kid¬
naping and slaying of John B. Cole
grove, a Taylorville banker recently
convicted of causing his bank to fail,
were charged by warrant today
against James Gammaitoni, .‘15, a dis¬
gruntled former depositor in Cole
grove’s institution.
He was arrested today while wash¬
ing what the police believed was
blood from his automobile. In his
house were found Colegrove’s wallet
and other articles, which officers said
descredited his story that blood on
his clothing came from killing rab¬
bits.
Colegrove was attacked, beaten and
dragged from his house late last night
by two men.
No formal charge had as yet been
{Raced against another suspect,
Amelia Buzzoti, 32, who said he was
from Detroit, He was arrested with
Gammaitoni.
Two years ago, Taylorville police
said Gammaitoni ffired twice point
blank at Colegrove but missed. Charg¬
es were placed against him, but were
dropped, authorities said, partly due
to the former bank president’s unwill¬
ingness to prosecute the man, whose
action had been prompted by loss of
all his savings through failure of the
Colegrove bank a year earlier.
The body of the banker had not
been found.
When the kidnaping of Colegrove
was reported to Taylorville police they
asked Springfield officials to arrest
Gammaitoni. Local police said they
found him and Buzzoti removing blood
from an automobile. They were ar¬
rested at Gammaiton’s home. Buzzoti,
the police said, was attired in cloth¬
ing which was soaked in blood.
The prisoners denied they had any
insisted connection with the kidnaping anil
the blood came from rabbits
they had killed. Police were unable
to find the rabbits.
Meanwhile searching parties had
been organized in Christian county,
of which Taylorville is the. county
seat, and here in Sangamon county.
Police said they entertain’d lirrle
hope that the banker was still alive.
Colegrove was at liberty on bond
pending appeal of his recent convic¬
tion. He was kidnaped last night
shortly after returning to his nonie,
where he lived alone.
Soon after he returned neighbors
heard screams. As they neared his
house they saw two men push 'he
banker into an automobile and drive
away.

Neighbors Snoot
Candler’s Animal
Kingdom As Pest
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. G. (/P)—Neigh¬
bors of Asa G. Candler, Jr., have
turned up their noses at his private
zoo and want something done about
it.
Months ago the son of the late soft
drink king decided to buy up some
animals for his personal diversion and
established them in especially con¬
structed cages along the outer wall
of his estate in a fashionable residen¬
tial section.
At first his neighbors looked on
tho private zoo as an interesting hob¬
by but they held a meeting last night
and agreed to underwrite a court to
seek its removal as a nuisance if
Candler doesn't move it to a more
remote part of his grounds.
W. B. McClelland, who presided
over a meeting of protesting proper¬
ty owners, charged “odors from the
zoo are terrible at times.
“Roaring of lions, trumpeting of
the elephant, and squaling of the
monkeys and other animal noises
coming from the zoo are worrisome
and distracting to the neighborhood
and there is the constant fear and
danger that some of the beasts will
break out and prowl the vicinity,” I he
leader of the meeting added.

WIDOW STILL SOUGHT
ON MURDER
Lather is Endeavoring to Ar*
range Bond For Her
She Has Not Surrendered
Authorities.
Winston-Salem, N. C., Aug. <‘>.
—Albert Walker, charged with mur¬
der in connection with the death of
Smith Reynolds, was released from
jail today.
Walker, jointly indicted in the
ing with Libby Holman Reynolds, the
widow, was granted bond in the sum
of $25,000 by Judge A. M. Stuck.
Alfred Holman, lather of the former
Broadway torch singer, promises to
have Mrs. Reynolds in Winston-Salem
in “considerably less than a week.”
Solicitor Carlisle Higgins, who con
sented to bond for Wlalker, said his
course today could not be taken as an
indication of his attitude in he event
of a similar plea by Libby.
Young Walker was brought in from
the county jail where he was remand¬
ed after the hearing and his father
signed the bond.
Walker refused to answer questions
as he left the clerk’s office except to
say that he was going home.
The judge announced his decision
after Higgins had told him:
“The facts before us show nothing
more than an offense that is bail¬
able.”
Higgins added after the hearing,
however, that he reserves the right
to try both Walker and Mrs. Reynolds
on first degree charges in the event
evidence to warrant such action is ob¬
tained before the start, of the trial.
Higgins also said his course
must not be taken as an indication
of his probable attitude toward a sim¬
ilar plea for bond by Mrs. Reynolds.
“They are two separate eases,’ he
said. “I will not cross that bridge
until I come to it.”
Both Walker and Mrs, Reynolds
were indicted for first degree murder,
a capital charge not ordinarily bail¬
able in North Carolina.
Alfred Holman, of Cincinnati, fath¬
er of Reynolds’ widow, was in the
courtroom while Walker’s plea was
heard. He sat with two local attor¬
neys engaged yesterday to represent
the former torch singer.
Holman came here with the avowed
purpose of arranging bail for his
daughter in advance so that, she would
lie spared the qrdeal of going to jail,
but was informed no steps would be,
taken in this direction so long as she
kept herself outside the jurisdiction of
the North Carolina courts.
Oscar Efird, one of Walker’s low¬
ers, interpreted the statement of Soli¬
citor Higgins to mean that there is not
enough evidence to support a graver
charge against Walker than being an
accessory after the fact.
Higgins denied his words were open
to such construction. He said he is
willing to admit evidence is lacking
of premeditation and deliberation,
elements necessary under the law for
first degree charges.
Judge Stack remarked that it is
within the discretion of the court to
grant bail in even first degree cases.
He suggested Solicitor Higgins’ an¬
nouncement might be interpreted as
indicating there was evidence of a
homicide with a pistol, but the nec¬
essary evidence of premeditation was
lacking.
New York, Apg. G. (TP)—Samuel
Liebowitz, noted criminal lawyer, left
by plane today for Winston-Salem,
N. at the request of Alfred Hol¬
man, father of Libby Holman Rey¬
nolds.
At. Liebov<itz’ home in Brooklyn
it was said that nothing definite was
known of the purpose of Holman’s
request hut it was supposed he wish¬
ed to retain Liebowitz to defend his
daughter, who is under indictment
with Albert Walker on a charge of
murdering her husband, Smith Rey
nolds.

FLOOR OF MARF
Prices are Hurled Upward in One
of Most Sensational Advances
on Exchange in Past Three
Years.
New York, Aug. G. (/P) A hurri¬
cane of buying swept (lie grading
floor of the New York stock exchange
today, hurling prices upward in one
of the. most sensational advantacos
of the past three years.
Gains of $2 to more than $12 were
recorded on this rising tide of bullish¬
ness which threw aside alt opposition
from shorts and so swamped the fa¬
cilities of the market that the quota¬
tion printing machinery at times was
seven minutes behind actual transac¬
tions.
Heavy profit-taking just before the
close pared down extreme advances,
in some eases substantially. At the
height of Hie rising trading was fren¬
zied and the exchange authorities were
forced (o halt temporairily dealings
in two leaders, Allied Chemical and
Union Pacific, because there were no
selling orders to supply the huge ac¬
cumulation of purchasing contracts.
Encouraged by tire strength of Fri¬
day’s close and fortified by a large
accumulation of overnight buying both
from Ibis country and Europe, hulls
wen I to work on the rejuvenated mar¬
ket from the opening gong, and by
tbe beginning of the last half hour a
tremendous momentum iiad been at¬
tained. One group after another was
caught up in the swirl rails, electrical
equipments, utilities, farm imple¬
ments,!, chemicals, communications,
steelo. In the final ten minutes real¬
izing began to make its impression,
but many pivotal shares ended the
wild I wo hours not far below their
high quotations.
United States Steel stocks stood
out prominently in this wild scram¬
ble. The preferred recorded an ex¬
treme gain of $12.75, touching $87.50
and closing only 50 cents under the
top, while the common, after soaring
$8.25 to $42.25, fell hack to $41.50,
making the net gain $7.
American Telephone, which less
than a month ago sold at $70.25, put
on a full haul of steam and mounted
to $108.75 where it was up $7. Its
final quotation was $108 and the net
gain $0.37.
Union Pacific snared up $10.G, then
reacted $1 to $0” Allied Chemical
slightly reduced a maximum rally to
$10. J. I. Case, yesterday’s spec¬
tacular feature, closed at $49.25, up
$5.75. American Can, after crossing
$50, subsided to $49, where the gain
was $3.25.
Britisher Sees
Depression End
In This Nation
London, Aug. G. HP)—The Econ
mist, one of Great Britain’s foremost
economic and financial authorities,
said today it believed the crisis of the
economic stress in the United States
was past. {
“I would be rash to pro t that
America is yef within sight of gener¬
al economic recovery,” It said, in a re¬
view of world conditions, “Neverthe
less, there is reason to think that the
giant of the west, has passed the cris
is of his sickness.
“In the spring and summer there
were grave symptoms, such as the
growth of unemployment, the wide¬
spread failure of banks, the drain of
gold to Europe and the growth of
hoarding and the distrustful public.
“There were justifiably regarded
with serious apprehension, hut the
period of panic seerns to have passed.
The process of hoarding is being
checked, the banking position is sal¬
vaged and the psychology of the peo
pie steadied.”

By LEO W. SHERIDAN
Johnstown, Pa., Aug. G. (/P) Vic¬
torious in their fight to “ride the
cushions" out of Johnstown, the last
remaining units of the bonus army
bustled about today and left the city
late (his afternoon.
Cumbria county commissioners ap¬
propriated $1,000 to defray the ex¬
pense of moving the forces.
Announcement that a train had
been obtained from the Pennsylvania
Railroad brought cheers from the
800-odd eastern bonus marchers who
have been impatiently awaiting
transportation earlier in the day.
The train, of ten coaches, arrived
from Pittsburgh and pulled out for
the east as soon as the veterans were
on hoard. The train will go as far
as Jersey City, making frequent stops
on route.
While the last chapter was being
written about the squalid camp built
overnight after the bonus army fled
from Washington, a break threatened
for days between Major Eddie Mc
Closke.v and the H. E. F. official staff
flared with dramatic suddenness.
McCloskey tried all day yesterday
and I Ids morning to get a train from
the Pennsylvania Railroad but fail¬
ed. Eddie Atwell, representative of
Walter W. Waters, commander of the
B. E. F., took the matter into his
own hands, began separate negotia¬
tions and succeeded this afternoon.
The mayor was heckled when he
tried to make the announcement that
the train had been obtained ami his
talk was drowned by cheers for At¬
well.
Atwell and McCloskey then indulg¬
ed in some verbal pyrotechnics but a
moment later, while the veterans
“razzed” the mayor, Atwell told him
he was sorry for the feeling against
him expressed by the men.
Returning from the camp, Atwell
said:
"1 don’t want to call this a break
with the mayor, But I qm represent¬
ing W. W. Waters. I was sent here
to do a job and I am doing it.
"I wasn’t satisfied with the way
negotiations were being carried on
for a train so I simply stepped in to
take care of my men.”
Atwell said he didn’t like the idea
of the mayor making a speech and
added “the men don’t feel any too
good about the whole thing anyway.”
“I’m in charge now and won’t per¬
mit any more speech making.” .
Washington, West Vu., Aug. fi.(/P)
A request, for permission to estab¬
lish a colony of bonus expeditionary
force members in Mexico was wired
to President Rubio today by Doak
Carter, former chief of staff of the
bonus army.
Carter in his message termed the
members of the B. E. E. and their
families “homeless political refu¬
gees.”
He said he will remain in Hunting
ton until he receives a reply to Hie
telegram to Rubio, which read:
“Twenty-nine thousand honorably
discharged American veterans of the
World war and their families who are
homeless political refugees driven
away from the national capital and
refused admission to the various
states sanctuary and an opportunity
for temporary colonization in Mexico.
Your earnest consideration will be ap¬
preciated.”
