WOODNEN TRACK
Hermit SbAYERS
Natives, Wise in Forest
Signs, Add TO ClewS
In Murder
EXPECT ARREST
IN SHORT TIME

SNOW HILL, Md, Aug. 19.-Wood-
craft of baclwoodsmen living near
the scene of the crime is serving
greatly to assist the sheriff and his
officers in ferreting out the murder
ers Of Hermit Chatham. slain IN his
lonely home near here.
States Attorney Johnson, with Dep
uties Richardson and Esham. visited
the scene of the murder and we're as
sisted in their clew-seeking by a
number of dwellers in the region, who
are wise in woodcraft. Il was one of
these men who found the stub from
which the cudgel used in the murder
was cut, half a mile from the Chat
ham hermitage. A wilted branch fell
under the notice of George Layfeld,
e. w. Smulen and NJ. J. Fooks. With
the withered top was found the stump
of small wild currant sapling Both
top and bottom fitted exactly the re-
spective ends of the club. The marks
of knife blade showed on the green
wood II is thought that with this
clue thus reinforced the officers will
have something more definite 10 fol-
low out. A report that an arrest had
been made in Fruitland was proved
untrue.
