To Examine Blood

Sheriff Orman E. Fernandez, call
ed last night after the discovery
there of what were believed to be
pools of CONCEALED blood by the own
er of the building while searching
for a waterpipe leak, took samples
of the blood to be analysed.
Search of the premises revealed
nothing to indicate the whereabouts
of the body. Every effort was being
maGe to find it, or locate Corson.
No money was found, but most of
his clothing was in the room. One
of his bed quilts was said to be miss
ing.
Careful inquiry into the sale of his
within three weeks, was being made.
The officials were understood to have
learned the name of one of the first
Of the buyers through whose hands it
passed
Very little was known about Cor
son, except that he came here about
a year ago and formerly lived in
Brighton in Somerset county. He
was between IS and 20 years old.
Colson has been missing for three
weeks. Little was thought of it by
the other occupants of the tenement
house in which he had a room, as it
was generally supposed that he had
gone into the woods to work. But for
the, bursting of the frozen water pipe
in the house which required that
someone enter his room, no notice
would have been, taken of his alb
sence.
The names of no suspects are being
mentioned in connection with the case
and, so far as is known. no warrants
have been issued.
The track of q rubber boot, rather
indistinct to be sure j. was found in
the pool of blood in Colson's room.
The track, it is said, was like that
made by lumberman's rubber boot.
The officers have interviewed the
four families who occupy the tene-
ment house in which Colson lived but
it is understood that no new light has
been thrown on the case.
Colson is a rather small man, very
quiet in his habits. He had few
thing but good of his. 1t is under
stood that he had not been at work
for month or more. The theory on
which the officers are working is that
of robbery. for it is currently re-
ported that Colson had two or three
hundred dollars in his possession. In
the fall he worked for Noyes & Hall
contractors. George Hall of the com.
pany says that when he settled with
Colson the man had a large roll OF
bills in his possession
The room occupied by Colson was
poorly furnished and looked desolate
Another feature of the case concerns
horse owned by the missing man. II
was learned today that during the past
three weeks this horse, known to be
valued highly by Colson. was consid.
cred the animal something of a pet
has been traded about several times
by horse jockeys. The officers are said
to be in posses sion Of the name of the
man who first disposed Of the horse
He will be located If possible and
questioned with Eope of getting i'm
portant evidence.
Capt. Percy A. Hasty, chairman OF
the board Of selectmen. is giving the
officers every assistance in this in
vestigation.

Jacksonville, Sept. 12-The county
grand jury convened in special ses-

ing of GeorgeH. Hickman when he

cessory before the fact, and Mrs.

League of Nations
Hears Criticism of
American Attitude
(By Associated Press.)

Geneva, Sept. 12-The assembly of
the league of nations today heard a
great deal about the United States
and the proposed conference at
Washington in November in connec-
tion with the league work on disar-
mament and also with reference to
criticism in America on the work of
the league. 1t was the most pictur-

A native Indian lawyer wearing
the Indian costume and speaking
perfect English with an eloquence
rarely equalled By English orators,
had the floor at the morning session.
He suggested that the United States
might do something more practical
than merely criticise what the league
was doing or had failed to do.
