PURSUING THE CLUES
IN THE HARDING MURDER
Authorities at Norfolk, Va, Note
Late Developments in Mystery
That Puzzle.

NORFOLK, Va, June 10.-Some late
developments in the Harding murder
case are that Mrs. Murdock, Saturday.
May s, caused the arrest of Harding
upon a warrant charging htm with beat
ing her at Church and Cove streets
Sunday she repented, and, going to Jus
tive ]. o. Pitt, said she wanted to with
draw the case. which upon payment Of
costs was permitted. Justice Pitt said
to Harding at the time: You had bet
ter let that woman alone or she will
get you in trouble Harding replied !:
Il am goinS to. Tuesday last Mrs
Murdock appeared in the Norfolk police
court inquiring if the police had ar
rested Harding. They said no. and she
declared that il they did not get him
she would. This warrant had been
sworn 10 before Justice Edwards.
Later, and while the body OF Harding
lay buried in the onion patch, Mrs Muir
dock appeared before Justice Pitt and
applied for a warrant for abuse She
said the oif.nse occurred Mt Ocean Vievy
Justice Pitt referred her to Justice Car
mine. Some one in the Office said to the
woman she had better let Harding alone
else he might kill her and then trv 10
kill himself. Il guess l will have to
kill that man to get rid of him." was
the woman's reply, according to Justice
Pitt. who heard her.
Still later the woman appeared before
Justice Edwards and said she saw
Harding counting money before negroes
and had to prevent them from jumping
on him. Again she appeared and said
that she had heard some negroes had
killed Harding: that she was going to
see and If it was SO she was going to
give him decent burial anyway.
