A remark made by an intimate friend
OF Charles Needham. whose supposed
body was found near Camp Spring, Nd.
Sunday, furnished Sheriff Hurd the first
substantial clew in the mystery surround
ing the piano tuners death.

friend OF the dead man, said 20 a com

cussed. "oh, he's dead. You won't see
him again" This was month before
the body was found
Working on the murder theory, the
sheriff spent last night in trying to locate
the man who is said to have ,old Of
Needham's death. He said that II this
man was found the mystery that has
envolved the case may be cleared.
Last night the sheriff denied that a
body was found and buried several weeks
ago, as being that OF Needham's. as was
stated in several local newspapers yes
terday. He said he had Investigated and
found that no such body was found and
no burial was made.
Many Hold 10 Murder Theory.
Although the coroners jury. which held
the inquest over the remains found on
Sunday, rendered a verdict OF death from
unknown causes. Il is believed by every
member of the jury that the man was
murdered. Nearly every person living
in Prince George County shares this be-
lief. as well as many persons in Wash

GEORGETOWN, May IA bit,
ter wrangle exists at Harper's, on
the Georgetown and Western rail,
road, partly in Williamsburg and
partly in Georgetown counties, over
the question of establishing a dis
pensary at that place. At meet
ing of the interested parties to the
controversy on Tuesday afternoon
the strongest language was hurled
back and forth between the oppos-
ing factions. Crlmination, recri iml.
nation, ,nnuendoes and threats were
INDUCED in and a general scrimmage
was imminent. The Williamsburg.
ers want a dispensary, the citizens
of the Georgetown side do not
Charges were made that the stores
and shops in Harper's are virtually
blind tigers, which were answered
with the lie and counter charges of
corruption and nmorality. The
intend NJ Of Harper's, Mr. W S
Camli !. and the Rev Mr. Thrower,
of the Methodist Church, engaged
IN a heated argument, which came
near encing in blows. The meet.
ing adjourned without settling the
question, to meet again at q later
date. The people of the nearby
town of Rosemary, IN Georgetown
county, threaten to open a dispen-
sary at that place should one be es-
tablished at Harper's. Rosemary is
a thriving and. growing village,
where the big railroad shops of the
Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation
are located, and as most of the dis.
pensary patronage would naturally
come from there. this threat on the
part of the Rosemary people may
put quietus on the aspirations of
the people of Harper's.-NewsGCou
