Man Fells Enemy
With Club and Then
Buries LiUing BOdy

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-Merell
Adams, who claims to be
farmer of Aberdeen, S. D., was
arrested here today in connec-
tiQn with the disappearance Of
Elijah NJ. Minks, a dairy driver,
with whom Adams left st. Louis
last Tuesday for Arcadia, Mo, to
view some land.
After his arrest Adams said
that he and Minks left the train
at De Soto, Mo. where they had
a fight in which he felled Minks
with a club. without ascertain
ing whether he was dead or
alive, Adams said, according to
the police report of his state
ment, he dug hole in the
ground. threw in Minks and COW
cred him with earth, leaves and
branches.
Adams returned to st. Louis
last Thursday and said that
Minks was in trouble and would
not return, but would send a
telegram. Today Mrs. Minks,
having waited in vain for the
telegram. told her neighbors of
the disappearance of her hus-
band and the arrest of Adams
followed.
Police as yet have not had
time to investigate Adams story.
