MURDER OF HERMIT
Was TWO MEMS JOB
First Attack Outside House
Where Victim Tries To
Take Refuge
NO CLEW YET
TO THE SLAYERS

SNOW HILL. Nd, Aug. 1.-THE
house IN which Samuel Chatham was
murdered in his hermitage between
Snow Hill and Princess. Anne. Satur-
day. is approached by roadway
which leads through the thick of the
pines. leading one first to a dilapidat-
ed barn and corn crib. beyond which
is the hermitage itself This building
is in the same ruinous state as the
others The whole appears to have
had little repair in the seventy
six years Mr. Chatham had spent
there. it being his birthplace The
dwelling is built in three rooms-the
kitchen in the east end. in the door
way of which the corpse was found, q
low pitched colonnade and small room
between, and the taller bedroom sec
tion facing the west The colonnade
is open to the south. Doors open from
this to the other two rooms.
II was through this open porch, It
is thought, that the murderers entered
the building Also II is the opinion
of all who have viewed the scene that
more than one man was concerned.
One is thought 10 have watched for
Chatham 10 return. while another
ransacked the chests in which he was
believed to keep his money When
they we're surprised, II is thought the
one who watched struck Chatham
from behind. This was at the point
where his hat was found.
Today bloody hand marks we're
found where the old man had braced
himself in the doorway. These marks
must have been made before the blow
over the left temple fractured his
skull. as IL would have been impos-
sible for anyone TO have walked the
ten yards from the hat and blood
stained ground to the kitchen door
way after receiving such a terrible
wound. AS yet the blood-stained cud-
gel found near the house is the only
tangible evidence that has come into
the authorities hands.
The country folk about seem TO try
to parry direct questions from investi-
gators. but this may be due to their
natural awe at so heinous crime.
Worcester officials are making every
effort to detect the murderer

Considering his diminutive size, his
physical weakness, his small hands, and
the difficulties he has labored under
since he has been a manager, his record
is equaled by that Of no other char

After making the Phillies look more

frame. and Pat Moran's lads romped
away with the second game, 5 to 3. 1t
was almost real baseball weather, sort

That's the sort OF occasion it was, too.
Doc Ayers, the huge Hillsville hurler.
was in splendid form and raced through
five frames just as nice as you please.
He gave way in the sixth TO Jack Bent

singer was twiTling that old lady Vic
tory folded UP her wings and died.
Ayers made no effort to establish a
strikeout record. contenting himself
with keeping the enemy at bay. He did
this very well, retiring after five ses-
sions WITH the Phillies possessing one
run on four blows.
The Griffmen opened up well, shovins
