PAGE EIGHT Murder Suspects To Face Grand Jury Kent’s Plea Innocence Is Ignored DOUBERLY BROTHERS SI LENT WHEN ARRAIGNED IN CARELLAS’ MURDER At the close of a police court pre liminary hearing lasting scarcely half an hour and during which 21-year old Edwart Kent, co defendant in the Peter Carellas murder case, sketchily but with unwavering sentences gave an alleged eye-witness account of the slaying by Willie Douberly, 24, and robbery by Leroy Douberly of the fallen viatim as Kent ‘‘stood 15 feet away from the Douberly brothers,” Judge H. Mercer Jordan held the three defendants on the charge of murder for action of the grand jury. In Need of Shave With lack lustre gaze and disorder ed hair the Douberly brothers, badly in need of shave, slouched against the railing in firont of Recorder Jor dans bench as Kent named Willie as the killer and his brother as the man who rifled Carellas’ pockets of a roll of bills. Their faces showed lit- ' ATTORNEY FOR TRIO SEES RASY OF HOPE Attorney Ulmer was asked this afternon whether it was true Wil lie and Leroy Douberlx, as report ed, had changed their account of the murder outlined In the alleged confessions to police and were now denying their guilt. Mr. Ul mer was inclined to be evasive in making a direct reply, explaining that he had not yet had time to discuss the case ful?y with his clients. “However,” the attorney re marked, “I am not at all con vinced the state's case is well founded. There are some new an gles which have come up which, when they have been gone into, may eliminate altogether any guilt on the part of my clients.” Mr. Ulmer would not clarify his re marks. I W F tie expression throughout the nearing and did not show any emotion when Kent accused them. At one time dur ing Kent’s story Leroy stared stolidly at the witness. He and his brother made no statement. In announcing he would hold the trio for murder Recorder Jordan re ferred to Kent. The court remarked that if Kent had made an Immediate report of the slaying and had turned over at once to authorities that part of the money taken from Careites and allegedly forced upon him by the Douberly, brothers with the threat that he would be killed if he "told anything.” the court would have not sustained the murder charge against Kent. However, he has shared with the Douberlys the ill-gotten gains,” the recorder continued, stating he would hold all three defendants. Kent's Plea Ignored The recorder disregarded the plea of counsel for Kent, Attorney Ernest Harr, that his client had said nothing of the crime until his arrest by po lice because he feared death at the hands of the Douberly brothers. City police station house officer, W. E. Dahlgren, in charge during the morning relief of the building where the three defendants were held pend ing the hearing, testified that Willie Douberly had made threatening re marks concerning Kent while all three prisoners were locked up in the sta tion house. The officer said the Douberlys were locked in a cell but Kent had been accorded permission to walk about during the day in the more spacious center area of the station house where the desk of the officer was lo cated. He testified that once when Kent had strode past the Douberly cell, Willie remarked later to the of ficer, "I feel all fidgety when Kent comes by my cell—l feel like I want to stick a knife in him. Willie told Officer Dahlgren he had felb strange ly many times "since I accidentally murdered my little brother,” it was testified. Following the custom the youthful defendants will be transferred tody to the Chatham county jail to await consideration of the charges by the grand jury. Assisting Solicitor Gen eral A. J. Ryan, Jr., made a request of the recorder that he order some particular arrangement for the in carceration of Kent so that no pos sible harm might come to him from either of the Douberly brothers. The bench announced that county jail au thorities would be asked to segregate Kent safely. "But” „pined Judge Jor dan. "I don’t think the young man need be troubled long about the Douberly brothers—for I believe those two boys are already on the way to the electric chair.” (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7) HEERY TO HEAR CRIMINAL DOCKET The term of city court to open July 6 will face a docket of many and varied charges, according to the calendar arranged for that tribunal by the solicitor general’s office.

NEW RATES ON NAVAL STORES TO AID FACTORS WATER-RAIL CARLOAD SHIPMENTS FACILITA TED BY RULING Naval stores from Savannah, Char l leston, and Jacksonville may now be shipped to northern points under wat er-rail carload rates, according to per mission announced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This will en able carriers to grant lower rates on shipments of naval stores to 140 speci fied points in trunk-line and Buffalo- Pittsburgh territories, without observ ing the Fourth section clause prohib iting a lower charge between origin and destination points than to inter mediate points in the same route. The routes affected the ruling are the Ocean Steamship Company from Savannah to New York, the Merchants and Miners from Savan nah and Jacksonville to Baltimore and Philadelphia and, the Bull Steam ship Line from Charleston and Jack sonville to Baltimore. A request by the carriers that premission be ex tended to cover such addii >ial lines as be established from time to time was denied. The new rates cut five cents per •hundred pounds from the all-rail rates set up by the Interstate Commerce Commission decision in “naval” stores from Southern points.” The new ord er will not apply to cases where the distance over the shortest route through the ports named does not exceed 1.000 miles, or where the long er route is more than 50 per cent clr mofe than 1000 miles and the route more than 33 1-3 per cent circuitous; except when the distance over the shorter route exceeds 1,000 miles and over the longer route does not exceed 1,500, the ruling will apply to the longer route even though it may be more than 33 1-3 circuitous.

Also of major importance was the selection of Joseph C. Hester as Re corder Pro Tern of the Police Court. This being affected by the recent or dinance providing that the assistant city attorney shall have this power vested in him. The popular Savannah attorney has a host of friends who will be interested to know of the ap pointment.
