to all those who are interested in ag-
riculture and it's many allied subjects.
Similar meetings were held in New
/ Castle and Sussex counties a few
weeks ago, and large crowds of peo-
pie came out to see the films and to
learn more of the better methods of
crop production and live stock man
agement as well as more improved
rural conditions.
| The film, Farm Bureau Comes to
Pleasant View" brings to the atten-
ton of the audience the possibilities
of any rural community to increase
its interest and membership in the or
ganization. 1t also shows how COM
munity should get together, work out
a definite program of work, and strive
to accomplish some worthwhile things
from an agricultural and community
betterment standpoint.
Uncle Sans Pig Club Work." has
been secured for the special benefit of
the boys and girls in the county who
are interested in club work, and this
film will be shown in practically every
, community.
Inc poultry IdlSeIS III the equity
will want to see the film entitled "How
to Select Laying Hen" This picture
will be of special interest and value
to those poultry producers who are
just starting in the business, and per-
haps the more experienced raisers will
find some instructive points in this
movie.
king Apples Enemies" will be
shown in those communities in which
apple growing is the chief source of
farm income, and the places scheduled
for this film will be arranged accord
ingly.
The other film which is usually
shown in connection with the ones
mentioned gives us a story of the
many uses of electricity on the farm,
and this picture is of special interest
to the farm women.
AS it will be impossible to run this
entire set of films at each evening
meeting, division will be made in
their distribution. This will give the
people of the county an opportunity to
see different films on the subjects in
which they are most concerned.

the case. The clue that lead the Sus-
sex detective to Wilmington was Civ
en- by letter found on the person of
the dead man. Investigation also dis
closed that Long had purchased gaso-
line at a supply station, near Selby-
vile, and had paid for it with a new
$40 note. When this information was
disclosed Donoway went to Whining
ton where Longs home was the hrst
place visited, Long being arrested
there. It was found that Long had a
new blue serge suit and patent leather
shoes. Long wore this new outfit when
he was taken from Wilmington to
Georgetown Saturday afternoon.
The police in their search of the
Long apartment found a suit of clothes
alleged to have been worn by Long on
the trip to Selbyville, and spots on
them will be subjected to tests to as
certain if they are blood stains,
The detectives found two $500 notes
behind a radiator in the Long apart
ment which, it is said, were stained
According to the authorities someone
had tried to wash the stains on Ine
money and they apparently were dry
ing on the radiator.
In addition the police found $34O in
Longs pockets at the time of his ar
rest and shortly before he was taken
from Wilmington, State Detective
Donoway admitted that he also had
obtained $685., alleged to be part OF
the $1,000 believed to have been stol-
en- from Hudson. With the $500 paid
DiSavlo for driving the car to Selby-
willie. the authorities have accounted
for nearly all of the money alleged 10
have been taken from Hudson, when
he was battered to death.
Long maintained he was innocent
of the crime. He denied being near
Selbyville and when confronted by
DiSaylo, he made no comment.
According to the police, DiSaVlo
said he was engaged by Long to drive
to Selbyville last Wednesday, and was
to be paid S100 for his trouble. They
reached a small place in Maryland not
far from Selbyville, where they re-
manned over night, DiSavlo said. The
next day, Thursday, they went TO Sell
byville, and spent the day there.
That night, according to DiSavlo,
Long directed him to drive him, Long,
to a place along the du POnt Boule-
ward where Long said he was to meet
an aged man who owed him a large
sum of money. While waiting along
the road DiSavlo says he wanted a
cigarette and he drove to Selbyville to
secure some. Long remained in the
road, he said.
On returning DiSavlo said Long
told him he had met the man and col
lected the money but to get it he had
to strike the man on the head with
hammer.
DiSavlo said that this statement so
unnerved him that he was unable to
drive the car and Long drove on the
return trip to Wilmington.
Long was taken to Selbyville by the
authorities two different times. Dur
ing both visits he was compelled to
view the body of the dead man. He is
said to have been little affected by the
sight of the greusome object either
time.
Hudson was buried at Selbyville on
Sunday and large crowd of curious
persons were in attendance. Long
will be given further hearing on
May 8th.
