Dor without hope Of reward or
compensation? AS business
proposition, does this rule hold
good in the industrial and COM
mercial world: AS rule it does
not, though there are commenda-
BILE exceptions, and any man who
believes that "the labOrer Is wOr-
thy of his hire should not be
slow in recognizing this fact and
demand Of the Board of County
Commissioners that when such |
dastardly crimes as the aSsassi-
nation OF Arms is committed they |
convene in extra session and offer |,
a suitable reward for the dctec-
ton Of the perpetrator Of the
crime. Not only should our
county officials DO this, but the
state should be prompt and re-
sponslve in Offering a supplemental
iCH oil u " iN1lCI ouU IIC pei PN-
TRAITOR.
We know the general objection:
ooh, Sheriff So-and-SO and Dep
uty So-andso are paid for this
kind of work: that is what they
were elected for, etc" which is
| fact only half stated and like all
! seeming truthS and facts are
most iniSlra ding and deIusive and
| work great harm and have done
more 10 perpetuate laWlessness
and crime than any one thing We
can now recall. AS we said, if
the law abiding tax payers of
Marion county believe in the
ma jesty Of the law and the pre-
ciousness of human life, then let
them not be slow in demanding Of
our county officials the Offering Of
a reward that will ferret out the
slayer of Arms and reimburse our
sheriff and his deputies in their
arduous labors in assisting in this
work.
How was it in the DR.. Forshe
case: Deputy Nugent, than whom
there is no more fearless, willing
and capable official in the state,
with Sheriff Hodges moral and
financial backing, on their own
account, spent weeks in detective
work to ferret out the murderer.
Having done this work faithfully,
J sa-.auel5- -ond successfully, the
sheriff presented his bill to the
county commissioners and, we
are reliably informed, it was re-
fused.
Here was case in which our
sheriff did more than his duty:
spent time and $40 IN cash to
bring a culprit to the bar Of JUS
tice and yet his bill was ignored.
Part of this money was paid to
Il. A. Burford as an attorney for
the state to prosecute the sus-
pected party.
The Star insists it knows of
nothing that should stimulate and
arouse the commissioners more
to act promptly and vote money
than to ferret out a murder case.
We believe there would not be a
dissenting voice from any tax
payer for such expenditure OF
their money.
With such experience on the
part Of Sheriff Hodge in running
down crime and only asking part
pay for money actually expended
in the prosecution Of the work, is
it any wonder that in the past SO
many murderers have never been
unearthed
Sheriff Hodge fully realizes the
Importance and gravity of the
situation and says while he will
do all any man can consistently
be asked to perform in a case OF
such overshadowing urgency he
will contribute S25 toward a fund
to employ the best detective tai,

THE ARMS MURDER

y
deadly bullet sped its way to the
heart Of |. 0. Arms, a respected |
and law abiding citizen on the
borders of the southeastern pOr- |
tion of this county.
The blood curdling news when |
it reached our people Mortified |
them and excited their intcnsest
Indignation and condemnation.
So it stirred the people among
whom the crime was commit
ted. The usual inquest was held,
but not until great efforts were
made to secure Justice OF the
peace, coming, it is said, all the
way to Belleview in search of one,
when Clarence j. Smith was Sc
cured. The verdict was, "The
deed was committed by parties
unknown"
What intensifies public feeling
regarding this heartless act is the
fact that after the man had been
shot, his body was carried quite
a distance through the saw grass
covering the marshes Of the Ock-
lawaha river and cremated, and
the murdered mans identity was
only established by fragments of
his unburned shirt and the remains
of his watch and false teeth.
1t seems almost incredible that
such inhuman and dla bolical deeds
could be committed by men who
carry around with them the SEM
''-~I'srfco- . -oi--'i~-d~ beinSs, yet the
criminal annals of our county
show two cases of dastardly, cow
ardly, malicious aud heinous as
sassinatiOns within two months,
which are a blot and stain en-
our good name.
Will those of our community
who think, feel and believe that
murder is q crime, most damna-
BILE and dia bolical and should meet
the severest condemnation and
the full penalty of the law, tamely
submit to let this bloody crime
rest with the cOrOner'S verdict?
If human life is the priceless and
sacred thing we believe it to be,
ezlet the people Of Marion county
arouse themselves and make it
their business to see that no stone
is left unturned to bring the
guilty party to justice-to regis
ter q VOW that from this time on,
the foul and bloody stains that
besmirch our annals by past muir
ders unavenged and reflect on our
moral status as a people shall be
wiped out and we be reinstated
in the minds Of all just, pure and
right thinking men, that murder
most foul cannot be committed in
our county with impunity, but
that the culprit shall be brought
to the bar of justice and if found
guilty, shall pay the penalty on
the gallows. If there is a lack of
such a sentiment in our county,
and seemingly there has been in
the past, let us cease sending mis-
siOnarles to foreign lands and APP
ply our most Jealous and undi-
vided efforts toward impressing on
the minds of our people the helm
BUSINESS of murder-that no eff
front, insult or trespass, however
grave, offered, should be resented
or wiped out in blood, but that
the laws protecting, shielding
and justice-dispensing arm is held
out to all for the correction and
punishment Of every violator of
it's code.
Until this sentiment is preva-
lent and uppermost in our minds,
and our hearts are attlned to the
highest and hottest conception OF
the SacredneSS Of life, we can eX.
