Deputy Henry Cole Paid Visit to Teck Duncan
 in Jail Yesterday
M'ADORY SAYS HIS
 DANDER IS AROUSED
Is Determined to See Lewisburg Cases Ferreted to the Bottom No Matter Who Is Hit
 by Revelations

The process of elimination in regard to those in the county jail in connection with the murder of Felix Ellard was lbegun yesterday afternoon when Jim Put nam was released by order of Special Prosecutor Borden Burr. It Is claimed that his case was carefully examined and nothing was found which would warrant his further detention. He returned last night to Dolomite, where he was work | ing when arrested.
 | The only thing out of the ordinary which disturbed the serenity of those out side the eoroner's jury investigation was visit to Teck Duncan In the county jail by Deputy Sheriff Henry Cole. This, on account of the report that the solici- tors had given positive instructions to let no one have access to him and the refusal of Special Prosecutor Burr to allow Policeman Moser to hold confer ence with the prisoner yesterday, caused quite ripple for a while.
 It was learned that Deputy Cole pur- chased some cigars and went to the jail, Deputy Merriwether. It is stated on good authority that ne feHlal1eu III tee Jdil 25 minutes before coming out
 Special Prosecutor Burr when asked las. night if he allowed Deputy Cole to visit Duncan when he had refused others and for what reason, if he did, stated that he knew nothing of the visit until his attention was called to it. He stated that he and the so- llcitor immedia tely sent for Sheriff Me. Adory and asked him x1r an eXplana- ton of the matter. He did not state the explanation of the sheriff. sheriff McAdory stated last night that he knew nothing of the visit un- til called upon by the solicitors to give an explanation. He states that he had given orders at the jail for no one to speak to either Duncan, Ware or Alexander, the negro, and that his or der1 had been disobeyed if the visit was made. He said that Duncan was confined alone In the hospital of the jail, Wade in one of the condemned cells directly over the warden's office and Alexander along In a cell in the negro wing of the prison. He rein forced his former orders yesterday aft. ernoon, he states, by including each oi these three in its scope and requiring d written order from either Solicitor Heflin or Special Prosecutor Burr specifying which prisoner they were willing for the bearer to talk with. T have got warmed tip to this thing now" said the sheriff, and am going to push 1t on through regardl less of whom
 it hits and how hard it hits. I want to see the bottom of this Lewisburg mess. something no one l believe, has ever seen; and that is not all, am going to do 1t. Put it down just that way-I am going to do it. and there is not going to be any favorltism in it, either. As ] said before, l don't care who it hits nor how hard. My dander is up, and when l get through there is not going to be any more mystery about this Lewisburg matter, either. Lewsburg. Coalburg, Arcadia and all those districts will be as quiet as coun- try grave yard and peaeeable as two old maids knitting winter stockings in the summer time.
 q have turned two of my best men loose on this case They are Chris Harts- field and Fred McDun and l have given them Tree rem. Iney are not WOrklng on any other case and will not until this matter Is cleared up.
 If the solicitors. coroner, coroners jury. grand jury or any other officials want my entire force, all they have to do is to call for them and they can get them.
 "I want the coroners jury to go as far 1t can and then 1 want the grand jury to go even further than that. I am going to lay everything 1 have before them and get them more than I now have This mystery business has gone far enough
 Neither Sheriff McAdory nor Chief of Police Bodeker were at their offices last night being Jagged out with their recent efforts in the case. The adjournment of the coroners jury yesterday afternoon until Wednesday. April 3. gave a brief but welcome respite for recuperation.
