Marion, May IL Especial )-Rumors
persistent during the past weeks that
Theodore Lacy was in hiding at the
old Carlisle plansion. two miles west
of town, caused a search to be made
by two of Governor O'Neals private
detectives Tuesday morning, but like
the Dallas county surprise. nothing was
found that would indicate that Lacy
was near. This place would have
given a fine hiding for Lacy as 1t is
practically secluded except for Sunday
strollers and on numerous occasions a
strange white man has been seen at
the place.
Carlisle Jones of Selma is now re-
pairing the house and makes regular
weekly visits to the property and be-
ing friend of the Laceys led some
to believe he could possibly aid in
the keeping of Lacy near home. The
detective made the search in the early
morning, going from here in an au-
tomobile. On returning to town they
left presumably for Montgomery.

Don't tell anyone your children's

Don't tell your neighbor that you

SO doing you will find how soon you

Do not tell that your children can
