SLAIN RECLUSE
CASE To JURY

NATCHEZ, Miss, Nov. %
UN.S0.-A jury faced the task
today Of determining whether
Miss Octavia Dockery is guilty Of
numbering Jane Merrill, her re-
cluse-neighbor.
Miss Dockery, elderly mistress
Of a weird estate known as Goat
Castle" has already faced murder
charges once, together with her
ward, Richard H. C. Dana.
The case was dropped when 1t
was believed a negro killed in a
fight with officers had confessed
the crime, but new evidence given
by a negro woman resulted in the
pair being placed on trial again.
Dana's case will be called after
that of his guardian.
Dana is a nephew Of the late
Charles Dana, New York editor,
while Miss Dockery is the daugh-
ter of Confederate brigadier-
general. The pair lived alone on
0 plantation near here which be-
came famous for it's numerous
goats walking unmolested through
all parts of the premises.
Nearby, the aged Merrill
woman, daughter of a former
Ambassador to Belgium, whom
they are accused Of Staying, lived
alone. The three were regarded
as the most curious characters
in the State.
Since the first trial, Miss Dock
cry has charged admission fees to
"Goat Castle" visitors and had
filed suit against arresting Off
GERS for $4,000 damages.
