ANOTHER GH0UL CAUGHT
LEROY WILLIAMS, COLORED, NAB
BED By DETECTIVES.
He Helped Steal Bodies of Wallace
johnson and Meredith McMulIen
from Ebenexer Cemetery.

Leroy Williams, colored, living at 225 AL
ghoul. was arrested last night by Detectives
Asch and Manning. Williams was arrested
at the Hendricks cafe on West Washing
ton street, where he is employed.
When taken to the police station and
questioned by the detectives he admitted
being implicated in robbing graves with
Rufus Cantrell and the others. Williams
said that he made four trips with Cantrell.
In two OF these trips they obtained the
bodies Of Wallace Johnson and Meredith
McMullene from the Ebenezer graveyard.
On the other two trips. he said bodies
were stolen, but he could not remember
the names.
Williams's arrest was the result of fur
ther information given the detectives by
Cantrell, when the party was investigating
in several cemeteries Tuesday. At that
time Cantrell accompanied the detectives,
and when certain graves were opened he
was careful to tell the detectives who were
with him when each body was taken. In
looking over the graves in the Ebenezer
Cemetery and also at Round Hill, Cantrell

Tuesday night the older members of the
police department recall the famous Mer-
rick murder trial, in which Moffett figured
conspicuously.
Merrick, a short time before he was
hanged. told of the grave robbing expedi-
tons in which Moffett had figured at that
time-more than twenty years ago. Mer-
rick said that Moffett had oftentimes taken
a horse and carriage and with spades and
sacks had driven to the cemeteries at night
and robbed graves. He was assisted in this
work by Jeff Garrigus. who has the repu-
tation Of being a white ghoul
Moffett. while sitting in cell az the Jail,
was asked yesterday evening about the
Merrick case. He ran his bony fingers
through his shaggy beard and laughingly
remarked that he had nearly forgotten its
history. A few questions served to refresh
his memory, and he talked readily of the
Merrick murder and his connection with
the trial.

MASTON LEFT HIS WIFE
BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE HIM AN
IMMORAL MAN.
State superintendent Jones Rules on
Henry County License
Revocation Case.

A school teacher need not be considered
an immoral man merely because he may find
1t necessary to leave his wife. State Super
intendent Frank L. Jones holds. The point
was brought to his attention by the case of
Ray l.. Maston. teacher in Henry county
whose license was revoked by ]. A. Green
street, the county superintendent.
Maston was employed by the township
trustee of Honey Creek township to teach
the township school. The trustee employed
him as married man with the idea that
conditions in the community justified the
appointment of benedict rather than a
bachelor. For a time Mr.. and Mrs Mas
ton lived together after the husbands an
pointment, but on account of domestic diff
ferences they separated soon after Then
there was great deal of talk in the COM
munity and considerable speculation as to
whether the township should continue to
employ a man who had separated from
his wife for any cause, and the matter was
finally brought to the attention of the
county superintendent. Greenstreet, the
superintendent, considered the case and re-
voked Maston's license. He did not take
radical view of the situation and stated in
revoking the license that Maston might be
able to get school after the domestic
troubles were adjusted.
The charges filed against Maston were
domestic Inconsistency and unworthiness;
desertion of your wife and misrepresenta-
ton" Ii was claimed that Maston had not
said anything to the trustee about trouble
with his wife, or that separation was
imminent.
In reversing the decision of the county
superintendent Mr.. Jones wrote: "I do
not see. even II the charges were true, that
the statute gives the right TO revoke a
license upon the mere ground of desertion
OF HIS wife Domestic Inconsistency and I'M
worthiness. together with desertion, would
not in mind constitute a charge that might
be sustained upon the ground of immortality
II Ii were shown that the defendant abused
his wife and that the desertion came about
because of his attachment TO other women
or that he used his money in immoral prac-
tees such as drunkenness and debauchery,
IL would doubtless be pertinent to introduce
a family relation in evidence"
In View OF the action of the state super
intendent IL Is probable that Maston will be
allowed to finish the years work in the
Honey Greek township school.

GOVERNOR FOR ECONOMY.
Health Board Reports for 1901 and
1902 VIII he Combined.

Governor Durbin yesterday called a
meeting Of the State Board of Health to
consider the printing of the annual re-
ports of 1901 and 1902. The Governor sug-
gested as measure of economy that the
reports of the two years be combined and
printed in one volume. The members of
the board approved the suggestion. and.
although no formal action was taken. it is
probable that the two reports will be
merged into one. thereby saving consid-
cradle money to the State. The Printing
Board met with the Governor and the
State Board OF Health.
The suggestion of the Governor does not
mean the elimination of vital statistics. 1t
Is SAID that there will be little shortening
OF the report of either year, but that money

pleasing talker and introduced many little
stories OF life TO forcibly mark the points
of his discourse.
