WEALTHY FUR BUYER
SLAIN WITH RATCHET

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 24.-That
Simon Merr, So. wealthy fur buyer,
was slain by men posing as trap.
pers with peltS to sell, is the
opinion expressed today by resi-
dents Of CORTLAND, a. village so
miles from Norfolk. in Southamp-
ton county. where he was found
hacked to death after a two days
absence from his little place Of
business.
Kerr usually carried large sums
Of money with him and made cash
payments for fur8 that he bought.
While county police think the slay-
ers may be among those with whom
Merr did business as a fur buyer
locally. the opinion is also ex.
pressed that he was followed by
persons in Norfolk familiar with
his habits.
