HUNT CITY FOR
Child SLAYER
Local Police Satisfied Live
ly Has Been in Will
mington
HIS PHOTOGRAPH
COMES TO DETECTIVES

Local police officials are inclined
to think that Louis Lively. Negro.
wanted in Moorestown, n. j.. on a
charge Of murder. spent Monday in
this city. Not only have the author
titles been informed that a man an
swering the description OF the Negro
was seeking work here but he was
seen at Fourth and Market streets on
Monday night.
In both instances, however. those
who detected a resemblance between
the description Of the man wanted
for the murder of the Italian grill in
the n. J. town and the man seen
here, the police were not notified un-
til the suspect had disappeared.
According to a young woman. a
man looking like Lively was begging
money Of people at Fourth and
Market streets. To those he ap-
preached the man said he wanted
carfare.
As this incident occurred but a few
hours after a man resembling Live
ly had applied for work at the Ham
ilton Coal Company Yards at Elev-
enth and Church streets. IL is thought
the man may have been Lively who
had made his way here via the
Penn's Grove Ferry on his way south.
Captain of Detectives Benson to-
day received a photograph Of Lively
from the Moorestown police and
those who saw the suspect here on
Monday will look at the picture
sometime today to see II they can
identity it as the likeness OF the
man seen here.
