Norfolk Police Hold Negro

Sought for Crime. .
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, August 23.--Two
suspects, negro and negress, We're
being detained and another suspect is
sought by Norfolk County officers in
their efforts to clear up the murder
of Mrs. Ella S. Heath, aged 60. who
was criminally attacked. robbed and
strangled to death at her farm home,
near Oliver Branch, late Saturday.
The names of the negroes under ar
rest were not made public.
The body of Mrs. Heath was found
under a fig bush in the yard of her
home at 1880 O'Clock by her brother,
Frank T.. Parker for whom she kept
house, when the latter returned from
a trip to Portsmouth.
Rope Wound Around Body.
The latter had been left alone by her
brother early in the afternoon. About
her body had been wound long rope,
which was identified as having come
from a nearby barn. Three turns Of
the rope had been taken about her
neck and both arms were bound to
her side by the same rope which was
wound in mummy fashion almost to
her ankles. An examination showed
the rope had been SO tightly drawn
as to literally burn into the flesh.
When Mr.. Parker entered the house
he found it ransacked. Unable to
locate his sister, Mr. Parker rang the
farm bell and neighbours quickly re-
sponded. A search disclosed the body
in the yard under the 6g bush. Mrs
Heath apparently had been dead sew
eral hours 1t has been reputed that
there was a large sum Of money in
the house Investigation Of the in
terror of the residence disclosed that
relatively small sum was taken.
1t was stated that the robbers had
overlooked nearly 81 900 kept by Mr..
Parker.
Victim Probably Tortured.
Indications, seen on examination of
the body of Mrs. Heath were that
she probably had been subjected to
torture. presumably to make her dis
close the place in which the money
was concealed. Whoever her assailant
or assailants We're are believed to have
known that she was alone on the
farm during the afternoon.
Mrs Heath was a native of Gates
County, n c., but had lived in Nor
folk County a number of years and
for some time since the death of her
husband, Josiah G.. Heath. had been
housekeeper for her brother.
She is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Matte O. Clifton of Baltimore and
Mrs. Maggie F. Byrd of Nansemond
County, and three brothers. John W.
and W. T.. Parker of Portsmouth and

IF you wish, JOAN" I continued,
Il will go with you to your lawyer

thing unexpected comes up can tell
some one all about it, or at least
supplement what you have to say.
In things like this you know it is
well to have a witness.
Il expect" said Jerry. 'as much
as he will hate it, your brother will
have to come out here and be pres

take some time, you know. / am
somewhat at loss to know why he
has not spoken of that before"
Perhaps he has" said Joan, as a
slow blush of shame spread over her
face. There are three letters, one
an airplane special at the house. But
to tell the truth l was so worried
about my own affairs that I did not
open them. John often sends me
special letters when he wants books
or instruments or something done
for him in the city. and l thought
these letters were about some Of the
things that could wait until l knew

you know in the morning.

do is to sign a few old papers, I
shall expect you to book Judy's and

Jerry looked at me and appeal
ingly. I saw his hand tremble as
he tried to raise the thick white cof-
fee cup casually to his lips. There
was an expression on his face that
made my heart beat a little faster.
I had never seen Jerry Hathaway
when he seemed so troubled.
All at once I found that there was
new feeling within my soul as 1
watched him. I wanted to comfort
him. I wanted to hold his head
against my heart. I wanted to
smooth his hair which had become
mussed in our long ride from the
city when he had been without his
hat.
For the first time in my short life
I felt that motherly instinct that
meriful Providence had planted in
the soul of every woman. Until now
I had been so interested in my af-
fairs and the exciting experiments
that I had been making in every
day living. that the idea had never
come to me that my own way was
the way of every woman, It was
the fulfilling of Gods great plan. 1t
was the great thing that makes a
woman something more or less d.
vine. It was the thing that has
made great painters place a halo
around the head of Mary-it was the
thing which makes all men at some
times in their lives look upon some
woman and adore.
