The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-12-02
BY A. coooFELLow.

From somewhere in Memphis
comes a letter so pathetic in it's ap-
peal, SO terse in expression and so
brief that its message this morning
went straight to my heart. Goodfel-
lows! 'It was simply signed Jack"
And it had this to say:
Dear Goodfellow-Sanua Claus
has never come to my house. Will
he come this Christmas? Thank you"
There was no address. Il was Just
signed Jack" l don't kaOw who
Jack" is, or where he lives. There
is one thing, however. of which l am
thoroughly aware. Somewhere in
this city on Christmas morn Jack"
is destined to be a mighty disap-
pointed boy unless the Goodfellows-
Santa Claus club 'can find him in
time to make a visit
The note was written on a bit Of
scratch paper and in childish
scrawl. Between the lines Jack"
conveyed the message that he like all
kiddies who are led 20 believe in tine
lore of Christmas and Kris Kringle
that Santa Claus would find mis-
chimney,
Santa has never been to Jacks"
house. viii he come this Yuletide,
Goodfellows? 1t is up to Won. Have
you ever considered that in Memphis
there are many kiddies who never

old chap who generally is supposed
TO reside somewhere in the vicinity
of the North Pole and who drives

NEGRO MAY STAND
TRIAL ALONE FOR
MURDOCH MURDER

Manuel Meriwether, negro, arrested
as one of the three slayers of Capt
Daniel w. Murdock, aged night
watchman for the Pioneer Pole and
Shaft company, will probably stand
trial alone.
Detective Sergeahts Joyce and
Long returned Wednesday from Sar-
dis, Miss, where they went Tuesday
to search for one of the men said
to have been implicated in the kilt
ing. This man, a negro, was be-
lieved to be hiding in Sardis, al
though complete search "Wednesday
failed to divulge trace of his
whereabouts.
Meriwether, police say, was not the
wielder of the scantling with which
Capt. Murdock's brains were beaten
out, but accompanied two negroes
who did the beating. Meriwether,
say Joyce and Long, robbed the old
man of $S5, his weeks wages.
Police say they have chain of
evidence against the negro which
can not be refuted.
Meriwether was arrested shortly
after the murder, and is believed
also to be implicated in the holdup
of Henry Terrill, an old negro, who
lives near the factory where Capt
Murdock was killed.
Capt. Murdock's murder was com
mitted a short time before the bru-
tai murder of Israel Evans, store
| keeper, on the night of Nov. 20.

MILITARY CURFEW
MAY Be EXTENDED
. THROUGH IRELAND
British Contemplate Enforce
Ament of Rule in Southwest.
Move to Aid in Capture of
Sim Feiners.
BY DANIEL o'coNNELL,
international News Service Staff
Correspondent.)

DUBLIN, Dec. 2-The British gov
ernment contemplates an extension
OF the military curfew order through
out the whole southwestern part of
Ireland, prohibiting \ people from
leaving their homes-at night, it was
learned today. Virtually all the i'm
portant Irish cities are now under
curfew regulations forbidding people
from appearing on the streets after
10 o'clock at night. The-chief rea-
son for the extension Of the curfew
order is said to be the failure Of the
British police to capture important
leaders of the Sim Fein army. whose
arrest is sought.
The government has begun to try
the hundreds of newiy-arrested Sim
Fein prisoners by courtmartial. Two
of the prisoners, who were acquitted
last Wednesday, were rearrested as
they were leaving court.
Isaac Kelly, son or the lord mayor
of Dublin, was arrested during the
night. More than 20 additional ar
rests were made in this city by black
and tan policemen on Wednesday.
Street cars and automobiles were
halted and searched and pedestrians
were held up in the streets.
