FOUL MURDER
NEAR MIAMI
Mrs. Suggs Killed by an Unknown
Assassin Last Monday.
BODY FOUND IN WOODS
Sheriffs Posse Securing County in Search
Of Murderer. Case Equals the
Davis Murder Mystery.

With her head crushed and terribly
mutilated; finger marks on the throat
and chest, and conditions bearing evil
dence OF criminal assault, the lifeless
form of Mrs. Dora Suggs, a we'll known
and respected lady. residing west Of
Cocoanut Grove, was found in the woods
near the Obenchain place at late hour
Monday night by the sheritf's posse
and others searching for the same.
Though there are no body evidences
ditions connected with the horrible
crime prove almost conclusively that
the crime was committed, and that it
was the intent of the assassin. when he
made the assault which added another
link or chapter to the criminology Of
Dade county.
Mrs. Suggs was alone at the time she
was attacked and met her death and no
one but her Maker and the cowardly
liend know what transpired, though the
ground around and about where the
tragedy was enacted furnishes proof
that the woman fought desperately,
first for her virtue and then for her
life, but to no avail in either instance.
Mrs. Suggs, it appears, had been in
Miami trading and shopping. She
drove mule and light wagon and start
ed home late in the afternoon. She was
accompanied as far as Cocoanut Grove
by her nephew, w. Perry, and leaving
him at his home proceeded on towards
her place q few miles west of the grove.
Later in the evening the mule and wag-
on reached the Suggs home, but Mrs.
Suggs was not to be seen. Suspicion
was at once aroused and the anxious
husband started out to search for her.
Search parties were organized and about
1920 o'clock the party under the direc-
ton of Deputy Sheriff Gore found the
ifeless body Of the woman lying on the
ground short distance from the aban-
doned Oberchain place.
1t was a grewsome and heartrending
sight. The body lay neara banana tree
tree, partly nude, and the remaining
articles of clothing were disarranged on
| the corpse. Her hair was down and
matted with blood, while the head only
too plainly showed that life had been
beaten out with some heavy instrument.
The left side of the forehead was crush
ed in and parts of broken bone protrud-
ed through the mangled and torn flesh.
| The chin was also crushed and both of
the lower jaws broken. The neck bore
unmistakable signs that deceased had
been choked.
An entire mystery so far surrounds
the murder, though various rumors and
opinions are heard. Some are to the
effect that the murderer of Mrs. Suggs,
if captured, will prove the assassin of
c. F.. Davis and daughter, horribly muir
dered early last summer. Another is
that the crime was committed by one
or more of the idle laborers now in the
now in the city; another that it was n
negro etc. ,
The deceased woman was 20 years of
age and besides her afflicted husband,
| leaves two sons, about II and years,
respectively. She was sister of Mes
srs, c. j. and Fate Perry and most
estimable woman.

The Crate Booke," which was print
ed in England more than three cen
turtles ago. was exhibited to the des-
cendants of John Cory and his broth
ers at the family reunion held in the
Cory grove, near Oaklandon, Thurs
day. The book, which is a priceless
heirloom in the family. has passed
down through nine generations. is now
the property OF James f. Cory OF
Pennsylvania. who at the recent re-
union was reelected president OF the
Cory organization
The history of the Crate Booke"
has been traced back as far as 1911.
when the family records show that
John Cory's mother gave the Bible to
her son as she wished him God-speed
when he left his home in Scotland to
try his fortune in America. John Cory
landed at or near Boston soon after
the coming of the Mayfiower.
For a while he lived at New Lon
don, Conn, where ne was married. He
afterward crossed Long Island sound
and for a short time lived at South
amptou. where the records show that
on March Z, 1914. he was made whale
commissioner for the district of
Southampton He died at Hssham-
omaok. l. l., in 1855, leaving four sons
and two daughters.
When John Cory died he willed the
Bible to his son Elnathan. Thus the
book has been handed down through
nine generations, and the time-worn
Bible that was exhibited in the grove
near Oaklandon Thursday bids fair to
remain a family heirloom for many
years to come. 1t has about 500
leaves of English parchment of pages
by r. and 1t is printed in old Eng
lish type in the spelling of that age.
1t was published in 1903.
About 300 descendants of the young
man who first received the book with
his mothers blessing as he left to
set sail for an unknown land gathered
on Thursday in the old Cory grove,
where the old volume was an object
of reverence. They came from vari-
Gus parts of the United States, repre-
sentatives being present from Penn
