region Of Mississippi are
shown by the success that
attended the efforts ofCIifton
Ellzy Of Pike county last

found Mr.. Ellzy's farm he
did not surrender, but with
the assistance of his two sons,
has proven to the satisfac-
ton Of all his neighbOrs that

Prosecutor Carrow opened for the State

usual impressive style, holding that
Ross had falsely represented matters
to Cannon, as related to the character
of the Interstate Social Club.
Prosecutor Carrow congratulated
Mr.. Cramer on his able presentation of
the case OF the defendant, but empha-
sized to the jury the fact that character
witnesses are not always conclusive
evidence, and scored Cannon severely
and endeavored to show Cannon's con
nection with the case.
Judge Eldredge, before in~structing
the jury, acknowledged that Cannon
had called upon him and was advised
to investigate and close the place up.
The jury retired for delIberation at
5.15 p. m. and at 7.30 returned a YER

AZ - DIRK, April i In the
finding OF body OF a woman under
a small pile Of stone IN vacant lot
in Rosedale avenue. the Bronx, late
today the local police were confront-
ed with one of the most mysterious
\ murder r cases in recent years. An
autopsy tonigh revealed that the
woman who was about to become a
mother, had been killed by blows on
the skull from an axe. She was for
e1gnE born and wore wedding ring.
Hoops and slaves from broken
barrel found near the body and the
close proximity to the scene OF the
New y ork, New Haven and Hartford
railroad tracks caused the police to-
night to work on the theory that the
woman had been murdered at some
distant point and her body packed in
a barrel. 85
Apparently the woman was bout
p years old. She was OF medium
height and weight and OF fair cons
pleSion. The clothing was dark and
of inferior quality. Two rings and
two cheap pins were the only jewelry33
found on the body.
Short, dark hairs which detectives
thought We're those of IA man were on
"a comb found near the body and also
inside lsit torn glove taken from the
4woman's hand. f
