County Wide Hunt Opened For Slayer Os Carellas
FORMER EMPLOYE
OF VICTIM HELD
FOR QUESTIONING
GARAGE MAN’S MURDER IS
SIMILAR TO MILES HERE
TWO MONTHS AGO
Practically every member of the
county police department was at
work today under the direction of
Cl'ief W. F. Chapman .attempting to
solve the brutal murder yesterday
afternoon of Peter Carellas, di-trict
governor of the Ahepa, National
Greek-American fraternal organiza
tion. i
The lifeless body of Carellas, who
was killed when his head was'cruelly
battered in was discovered at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon by C. G
Simmons of Montieth. It was lying
with the victim's head propped up
against the gasolene tank of a vs:d
car in the rear of the filling station
which Mr. Carellas operated on Bay
street extension about a mile west
of the viaduct. The murdered man
had been talking to customers an
hour before his tody was found.
Former Employe Held
Russell McCay, 34, a negro, was
lodged in the police station house last
night by officers as. the probe got
under way. It was reported, how
ever, that the man was not a murder
suspect but simply wes being held
for questioning. it is said McCay has
been employed from time to t\:e at,
the filling station and auto wrecking
lot In the rear, both of which 11 c
dead man owned. Police also ques
tioned last night John Furlong, a
white man formerly employed by Mr.
Carellas. Furlong hod been discharg
ed on Saturday and returned here
last night from his home in Guyton
at the request of police.
The remains were at Sipple Broth
ers today pending an inquest and fu
neral arrangements. Friends of Mr.
Carellas said he would have been
married a year tomorrow. A special
meeting of the local chapter of the
Ahepa Is to be called today to pre
pare for the«soclety’s representation
at the funeral, arrangements for
which are yet incomplete.
An iron bar about three feet long
and a half inch in diameter and an
auto connecting rod about a foot
long, found at the scene of the mur
der, were brought to county police
headquarters this morning for ex
amination as the possible y plements
with which Carellas was slain. There
was some doubt as to the importance
of the find as there were no apparent
bleed marks on the bits of iron. How
ever, the heavy rain which fell last
night could have washed bloodstains
from the bar and rods, police be
lieved.
Similar to Miles Murder
There was a marked similarity in
the methods of the murder of Mr.
Carellas and that of Dozier D. Miles,
night watchman of the International
Vegetable Oil Company, slain on
April 15 last. The scenes of both
slayings were not much more than
a half mile distant. Miles was beat
en just as thoroughly about the head
as was Carellas. A bild folder was
taken from the pockets of Miles and
the same article was missing When
the corpse of Carellas was discovered.
Miles slayer was never found.
There was nothing tangible to link
the two murders bot some county of
ficers gave casual thought to the
theory that the murders may have
been the work of a demented person.
The fiendish battering of the hjads
of each of the two men killed could
be construed as conflicting with rob
bery theories, it was said.
Sunday auto excursionists were
passing back an forth on the high
way a scarce hundred yards away
when the murder was committed yes
terday afternoon. However, the vi?w
was obstructed.
Mr. Carellas was struck a number
of times about the head. One blow
battered In his nose and another frac
tured his chin. The lower plate of
hi. false teeth was broken. There
was a cut to'the bone on the back cf
his head. Two wounds of a peculiar
nature were found on the left side of
Mr. Carellas’ face. One of these
thrusts pierced the left eye and sank
several, inches into the skull. An X-ray
was to be made today on the possibil
ity that bullets mt have caused these
incisions, though officers were in
clined to believe they were stab
wounds from the some sharp instru
ment. /
Folios officers worked nearly all last
night as well as yesterday afternoon
on the case but early this afternoon
Chief Chapman said there had been
little brought to light to assist in a
speedy solution of the mystery.
Simons Finds Body
The body cf Carellas was discovered
by C. G. Simons, of Montieth, a
friend of the dead man. He stopped
at the filling station to get an atuo
part. When he called for the proprie
tor and did not get an answe. he
went to look for Carellas in the park
ing lot in the rear. Upon finding the
murder'd man he called police at
qnce. Meanwhile, two me., fame up
looking for Carellas and Simons de
tained them until officers arrived.
Th* pair explained satisfactorily to
police they had merely visited the
place t 5 make a purchase.
Dr. G. H. Johnson, county coroner,
said the inquest would be delayed un
til tomorrow or Wednesday to give
police more ti le to investigate.
About a year ago Mr. Carellas sue
seoded in fighting off robbers who
jonfronted him at his place of busi
near. He wus not badly hurt in the
ingaz^ment.
Photographs of the dead man were
taken at the murder spot yesterday
by Inspector R. D. Doney and County
Police Officer Wadley Petit, heads of
the city and county identification bu

Mr. Caredas was popular and well
known in this e i tion. He was a na

Buchanan was elected president—
