There are several Cokers-all men

from the Capital today:

ry Jim Harrison and Robert Carter

police pending a rigid Investigation
Chief Discovers Body.
When Chief of Police Nunnery went
to Perrys room he found the door
locked. He climbed a ladder. and
gained entrance through a window
that looked out upon a shed. Ths
sight that met his eyes astonished the
police officer, accustomed as he is to
surprises. In a corner of the room
was a bed, and on the bed was the
nude form of one armed woman, her
body terribly bruised and bleeding.
Nearby was a hatchet, and it was
stained with blood. Curtain poles also
in the room were bloody. In the mid,
die of the floor stood Perry, calmly
drawing the cork from a bottle OF
whiskey.
Chief Nunnery went to Perry's $
room when some enc telephoned po
lice headquarters that peculiar sounds
had been heard in the direction oil
Perry's room, and that screams had
been heard there Sunday. Perry has
made no statement The other two
men were arrested after several per
. sons told the chief they had been
seen going up and down ladder to
the second floor of the building.
Was Well Known.
At the charity hospital nurses said
they recognized the woman as Mrs
Coker who had been there before. Ap
parently she was middel aged. She
is said to have daughter at Hatties
burg and also a daughter at Pela
hatchie, though their names are no
known here.
The woman did not regain consci
BUSINESS at the hospital and so made
no statement in her last moments.
