PAGE EIGHT 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. RETREAT BEING HELD The annual retreat of the Sisters of Mercy being held in Macon is being attended by practically all sisters in Savannah. St. Joseph’s hospital, with Sister M.

The policeman spied the animal wandering at Montgomery and 42nd streets at 5:15 o'clock this morning. He led the animal to the city lot to await a claim ant. 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.

Cubbedge, local manager for the Sin clair Refining Company, that plans have been drawn and a permit se cured for ths erection of a super service station on the site. A rapid in crease in business done locally by the Sinclair Com pan was assigned by Mr. Cubbedge as the reason for the expansion. MORTUARY | JAMES J. POWERS Funeral services for James J.

QUALIFIED TO SPEAK Mr. Snapp—“My motto is: What is worth doing is worth doing well.” Mrs. Snapp—“l notice that when you make a fool of yourself.” 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 HOHENSTEIN CASE GIVEN TO JURY ALLEGED BURGLAR USING ALIBI AS DEFENSE Up to an early hour this afternoon the case of Barney Hohenstein, ac cused of being the leader of a gang of railroad thieves had not yet been given to the j’.uy. The morning was ! taken up by witnesses for the de fence. with Defence Council Shelby Myrick introducing several alibi wit nesses. Sam Blumenthal was called to testify as to the defendant’s local reputation and good chaiacter, as was an official of the Dixie Fixture Company, Hohenste.n’s employers. Two witnesses were called who tea tified that they had spent Christmas Eve. 1935, when one of the alleged rob beries is said to have occurred, with the defendant at his home. Assistant District Attorney Hartridge there upon questioned the witnesses as to their whereabouts on other nights as long ago as the one in question which they were unable to give. The trial probably wil go to the jury this aft •emoon. 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.” LOVETT TO ADDRESS CHAMBER DELEGATES Assembled for the first meeting in I Savannah since last spring, associate members of the Chamber of Com merce from counties in the Coastal Empire will meet today at 2:30 o'clock at the Hotel DeSoto.

Demere was permitted to raze a building at the northeast corner of Park avenue and East Broad streets, and Malcolm Bell was issued a permit to erect a brick garage to cost around S4OO at 718 Drayton St. RESTORATION IN PAY A five per cent restoration in pay seems likely for city employes by June 24, announced Mayor Gamble yesterday. As figures on the restora tion are not yet complete, city coun cil will not be able to act on the pro posal at the meeting tomorrow night, but will take the matter up atthe meeting on the 24th. APPEARS IN COURT H. O. Sego, 26, was held for city court on the charge of larceny of a fishing reel from Sam Collins, 143 Abercorn street, ‘ when the defendant was given a hearing in police court today. Detectives D. B. Graham and W. B. Gattman handled the case. request of the photographers. The answers to the newsmen’s questions brought forth these facts — Peggy Ann isn’t engaged to anybody from Texas, rumor notwithstanding. In fact, she says, she had only one date with that boy. She's not very interested in politics, but she knows her dad would make the best presi dent the country ever saw. she smokes now and then, but doesn’t like cocktails. Swimming, dancing and horseback riding are her favorite sports. About petting? “Really,” said Peggy Ann to the abashed reporter. “Isn’t that a bit impertinent?” TYBRISA TONIGHT College tag dance dedicated to Sa vannah High and Benedictine.

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.
