ENTERED HOME
3 IN SEARCH
Of FOOD
z Suspects Now Being Held
in Merrill Murder to Be
Released

NATCHEZ, Miss, Aug. Is
I.N.S.).-Mystery surrounding
the murder of Jane Surget Mer-
rill, aged and wealthy recluse,
was believed solved today as
the result of the Identification
of a slain negro at Pine Bluff,
Ark, as George Pearls, alias
Lawrence Williams.
Sheriff Clarence P. Roberts re-
vealed that Pearls had been hunt
ed for several days as the slayer
of the former Southern society
belle and daughter of a former
Ambassador to Belgium.
The sheriff said he had learned
that Pearls. who was shot and
killed at Pine Bluff a week ago
yesterday, had come to the his
toric Merrill Estate in search of
food a few days before the rich
spinster was found slain in her
secluded home. Pearls body was
identified last night.
May Free "Wild Man"
Sheriff Roberts said that Dick
Dana, bearded wild Man of the
Woods" and his housekeeper,
Octavia Dockery, may soon be re-
lease from custody as the result
of Pearls Identification. Dana
and Miss Dockery. known here as
"the Goat Woman" have been
charged with first degree mur-
der.
Tracing of the murder to
Pearls was started when an aged
negro informed the authorities of
Pearls presence in Natchez about
the time Miss Merrill was slain
The informant also disclosed the
location of a baggage trunk be-
longing to Pearls, who was for
merly a Natchez resident.
Police discovered the trunk and
found bullets of the same caliber
and kind as those which brought
death to the aged woman recluse.
Killed Her for Her Money
Sheriff Roberts said there was
evidence indicating that Pearls,
upon entering the expansive
estate of Miss Merrill in quest of
food, discovered that she was liv-
ing there alone. According to the
sheriff's theory, he murdered the
spinster to rob her of money.
The arrest of Dana and Miss
Dockery followed discovery that
they had been involved in
quarrel with Miss Merrill over
the eccentric housekeeper's goats
which overran the Merrill estate.

SIS A Bite FOR
100 OF THEM IS
COURT DEMAND
SwitChman Says Farmers
Set Three Dogs on Him,
Beat Him.

Bid price on dog bites took a
jump today in Marion county.
The courthouse market" estab-
lished in the last twcnty-four hours,
showed that Albert D. Bidwell, 40,
of 2506 Lancaster avenue, rail-
road switchman, had put a demand
of SIS each for 100 bites.
Bidwell's quotation is contained in
a suit on file in superior court five
in which he seeks $500 from two
farmers whose dogs. he claims, bit
him 100 times Monday afternoon.
The action that led Bidwell into
a county court, and police court
too, started peaceably enough, but
ended in a near-riot, it is alleged,
Took Short Cut
Bidwell told police he was on his
way to a swimming hole in the
northeast section of the city. 1t
was hot and Bidweu took short
cut through the property of A. j
and Frank Sloan.
Swimming was the only goal OF
the afternoon for Biddle, he claims
until he met the Sloan brothers
They ordered him off the premises
One thing followed another and
the Sloans said they would turn
loose their three dogs on Bidwell
They not only threatened the deed,
but performed it, BidWel charges.
Consequently, Bidwell was taken
to the city hospital later suffering
from 100 dog bites on his arms.
legs and face.
Files Assault Charge
Shortly after his release from the
hospital, he filed aff1davitS against
the Sloans, charging assault and
battery.
In addition to the triple dog at
tack, Bidwell alleges A. j. Sloan
struck him with shotgun during
the melee.
Bidwell's claim as prosecuting
witness was not monopoly as the
Sloans assumed the role and
charged him with trespassing, These
cases will be heard by Municipal
Judge William H. Sheaffer next
Wednesday.
Bidwell still held the ace. though
1t was then that he filed the $500
damage suit, charging dog bites are
worth SIS each.

COUNTY ROADS
LOVE-BANDITS
HAVE IT EASY
Dark Spots Not Only Full of

Saws Sheriff.

Love" they say, knows no lock-
smith," nor is it compelled to worry

shackles of the law.

patches, lonely roads, without being
bothered by the siren of the sheriff's

faShnght as it pours on an entwined
couple with the command, Get
moving"
The county has become PETERS
paradise and all because Sheriff
Charles L. Sumner has a thin purse
to operate mis- office, and no road
patrol to either protect the PETERS
from hijackers and love-bandits or
clear the highways from their own
huddle tactics.
Any July night, motorists may see
the SWANS honking each other in
and out of secluded hooks or leafy
country lanes.
Why" said Sumner" when we
had the patrol they used to go to
other counties to bill and COO and
now the other counties are coming
here.
It's wonder to me that some
serious tragedy hasn't occurred due
to the unprotected highways and
the chances the lovesick are taking.
Then there are some things that
happen that we don't know about.
The married man out with his
'steno' is approached by bogus Of
fcers. They pay and pay, but we
never hear of it.
Fear of loss of reputation makes
them keep silent, but when we had
our patrols out a lot of similar oc-
currences were stopped.
The bandit who preyed on low
ers feared that his impersonation of
an officer might be discovered. He
feared that the headlights Of the
next car coming down the lane
might be that of deputy sheriffs
catching him in the act of black
mail"
