POLICE HOBEFUL
EARLY SOLUTION
CARELLAS’ MURDER
COUNTY CHIEF CHAPMAN
PREDICTS MYSTERY
WILL BE SOLVED
The county police department was
in possession of certain information
late ths morning which encouraged
investigators to believe there was
hope for an early ‘•break” in the at
tempts to solve the murder of Peter
Carellas, it was reported from a re
liable source. Police flatly refused
to reveal the specific development in
the case but did not deny that there
had been one today and that they
were more hopeful of a solution of
the murder than they had been yes
terday. It is understood the change
in tile complexion of the case dis
misses the possibility mat a dement
ed person may have slain Mr. Carel
las.
County Police Chief W. F. Chap
man said today he was optimistic
regarding the case. ‘‘We are going
to clear up this murder” the county
chief said.
Stoutly maintaining their ignorance
of any information regarding the
crime, two young white men were
still being held for investigation by
police this afternoon in the mystery
slaying of Peter Carellas, Sunday aft
ernoon. Reluctant to discuss freely
the steps in their general investiga
tion of the well-known Greek Ameri
can business man's murder, county
officers revealed that today no deci
sive clue as to the identity of the
slayer had yet presented itself.
Maniac Theory Ungers
Meanwhile, in some quarters of po
lice circles the feeling was strength
ened today that there was a strong
possibility Carellas was bludgeoned
to death by a maniac. That this same
demented person was the murderer
of D. D. Miles, night watchman, two
months ago, officers said was entirely
possible. More than one member of
the Greek-American community has
expressed the belief that the slayer
of Miles and Carellas is the same.
It was pointed out that in each
crime the victim met his death by
a severe and brutal beating about the
head. In each case the cunning of
the killer caused him to successfully
dispose of the lethal weapons. An iron
bar and a used car connecting rod
brought to county police headquarters
yesterday by police and examined as
the possible murder weapons in the
Carellas case were discarded by po
lice as having no bearing on the
probe. e
The pair being held in the city
police station house for investigation
by county officers are: Orrie Davis,
17, and Willie Morris, 17. The men
reside in the Hudson Hill neighbor
hood not far away from the auto
wrecking lot operated by Mr. Carellas
and where he was slain. His slayer
lured him. police believe, from the
filling station he owned on Bay
Street Extension to the auto wrecking
lot on pretext of buying a bumper.
Examination o/ the scene showed Mr.
Carellas was in the act of sawing tn
auto bumper from an old car when
he was struck down.
A puzzling feature of the attack
was a deep wound in the man's skull
which began at the left eye. Yester
day an X-ray photograph was taken
to determine if this could have been
made by a bullet. The picture showed
the wound was from a blow from
some lnstru..ient.
Funeral Today
The funeral of Mr. Carellas will be
held at 4:45 o’clock this afternoon
from the chapel of Sippl: Brothers
and at 5 o’clock from St. Paul’s Greek
Orthodox church. Interment will be
in Bonaventure cemetery. The pall
bearers will be Charles Lamas, P.
Karatasses, N. D. Parris, A, Andris, N.
Kclemides and J. Nichols. Honorary
pallbearers will include members of
Solon Chapter No. 5, Order of Ahepa,
wtych society is to conduct special
services in the cemetery. Mr. Carellas
was a district governor for the Ahepa,
his territory taking in the states of
Georgia, Alabam , North and South
Carolina.
Harley Davis, 24, and Russell Me-
Cay, the latter a negro, who were
taken in custody earlier in the Carel
las murder investigation for question
ing were released today. Chief W.
F. Chapman said this afternoon he
was fully confident Orrie Da-\.s and
Willie Morris, still being held prison
ers, had some knowledge of circum
stances surrounding the Carellas
slaying.
A coroner's Jury sitting at an in
quest this afternoon reached a ver
dict that Mr. Carellas came to his
death fom ‘an a&sault with an un
known murderous weapon and that
death was murder.”
It was revealed at the Inquest in
the testimony of ChJef Chapman
that police are not yet certain of the
motive for the killing though most
indications point now to robbery as
the cause. It was also brought out
that early this afternoon police stfll
had not been able to connect directly
any known person with the slaying.
The chief testified at the inquest
that in the numerous persons talked
with in the investigation it had been
learned that threats had been made
against the man’s life. The back
ground of these threats was such,
however, that it was not very likely
they could be linked with the mur
der, the chief explained. The police
chief and the coroner agreed at the
inquest that the dead man was slain
most probably with an iron pinch
bar.
Immediately after the inquest the
County police chief hurried away to
renew work bn what wrg reported as
a fresh development in the case.

Mercy being held in Macon is being

Every once in a while a police
officer finds some Georgia ‘‘white
mule” and in routine handling of
the case pours his discovery into
a street drain. Police Officer L.
A. Thompson reported a white
mule find at the police station
this morning, but this time it was

HIGH WATERS
HINDER PROJECT
SAVANNAH RIVER DAM RE
SUMES NORMAL PACE
OF WORK
Work on the new $1,000,000 Savan
nah river dam being erected below
Augusta is progressing at full speed
after being delayed by recent high
water. Colonel Creswell Garlington,
United States District Engineer, who
is. supervising the work, advised to
day.
The dam, u'hich is being construct
ed by the Arundel Corporation of
Baltimore, wil be completed by De
cember if conditions continue to be
favorable. The lock on the Georgia
side of the river has already been
completed, and the cofferdam has
been erected which precedes con
struction of the South Carolina side.
The Savannah river at the site of
the construction is approximately 400
feet wide, with an average depth of
six feet. The purpose of the new
dam is to maintain this depth at all
times, thus making the river navig
able even in times of extremely low
water.
Work on the dam was commenced
ni October ,1934, and would have
progressed much faster except for
the hindrance of high water which
was experienced throughout the win
ter. Work is suspended when the
water reaches a height of 25 feet, and
recent flood stages saw it frequent’;'
at a height of 35 and 40 feet. Con
struction is under the direction of
W. A. Wells, who gained experience
in work of this nature during the
building of the Panama Canal, and
in dam construction on the Ohio
river. The project is employing at
present slightly over 200 men. The
site is 13 miles below Augusta by
river.

PEGGY ANN LANDON, 19, IS BELLE
OF REPUBLICAN’S ’36 CONVENTION
CLEVELAND, June 9 (TP)—l9-
year-old Peggy Ann Landon is the
belle of the Republican National Con
vention today.
The slender, dark-haired daughter
of Alf Landon is a bit scared, by the
adoration heaped on her by the
hundreds of Landon-for-President
delegates who are crowding Cleve
land. The convention, desperately in
need es a bit of color, chose Peggy
Ann as its darling when she flew into
Cleveland aboard an airliner with her
grandfather. John Landon.
For a time, Peggy Ann shrank from
the many photographers who beseig
ed her. She evaded reporters and
loke das though she would have given
a year's allowance to be back in
Topeka. Later, however, she entered
into the convention spirit, answered
questions and smiled, waved, embrac
ed her grandfather and stared proudly
at pictures of her father—all at the

COVERED WAGON
HITS AT FARLEY
RELIC OF PAST DIRECTS
HINT AT COMMIT
TEEMAN
CLEVELAND. June 9 (TP).—A
relic of the past, a covered prairie
schooner, proved the hit of the Re
publican national convention at its
opening today.
The prairie schooner, drawn by two
red and two black oxen, drew up at
the convxention hall’s side entrance
a few minutes before Chairman
Fletcher hammered the gavel for the
opening of the meeting.
The wagon immediately was sur
rounded by a gaping crowd of certi
fied delegates many of whom had
never seen an ox, much less a prairie
schooner.
A sign on each side of the covered
wagon said—
“ Win with the Prairie staes.”
The signs obviously referred to
Democratic committee chief Farley’s
recent statement that Governor Rif
Landon of Kansas, leading presiden
tial nominee candidate, was “the
governor of a typical prairie state.”

Heard.
It was some time before the actual
count was known, but the outside
world knew that Lincoln had been
nominated. At the close it was deter
mined that the nomination was un
animous, in spite of the strong feel
ing particularly among the New York
delegates, for William H. Seward, who
had received more votes than Lin
coln on the first two ballots.
The nomination of “honest old Abe”
was heralded by bdoming cannon and
the Wigwam, the hall in which he
was nominated, as well as the re
mainder of Chicago, was the scene of
torchlight parades and triumphant
processions.
A little more than a month later,
on June 25, in Baltimore, the Demo
crats had an exciting time, for the
convention was split into two camps,
regulars and secessionists.
Trouble Brewing
The Civil war was drawing closer
and the sentiment at the convention
indicated that trouble of some sort
was impending.
The seceders met in the Maryland
institute while the regulars met in a
theater. The most significant speech
delivered at the convention of the
regulars was made by Pierre Soule
of Louisiana.
Following a long discussion of the
problem the disunited Democrats had
to face, Soule cast the entire vote of
Louisiana for Stephen A. Douglas
who was by now a familiar figure in
American politics. His fame had
grown since defeating Lincoln in the
Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Louisiana later changed over, how
ever, and joined the seceders con
sisting of thirteen states represented
wholly or in part.
Douglas, the “Little Giant,” was
nominated by the regulars, and John I
C. Breckinridge of Kentucky was I
chosen by the seceders.
Lincoln won the presidency, but the
south seceded—and the Civil war was
on.
Next: War-time Convention.
