5 STATES HUNT
FALSE ACCUSER
IN GIRL MURDER
Beating Of Brother Last
Chapter in Case

UNION, N. j.. Nov. / (C.TP.SJ.
The unnatural hate Of Leslie
Pearce for his younger brother,
Chester-bitter hate that caused
him last September falsely to
accuse Chester Of q girls myster-
ious murder in a New England
textile town years ago-broEe loose
again when. after he fled a Massa-
chusetts asylum and returned to
Union, he beat and kicked his
brother nearly to death.
The latest chapter in the
strange story was disclosed today
when a five7state police alarm.
describing Leslie as dangerous,
and possibly armed" was broad.
cast for the ne'er-do-well, who has
twice disrupted his prosperous
brothers life.
STORY PROVED FALSE
When, after a separation of
many years. Leslie brought his
wife and children to visit at his
brothers, home in Union six
months ago, Chester welcomed
him. But when, after several
months, Chester asked him to find
q home of his own, Leslie beat
him until Chester had to call the
police.
Raging over his arrest, Leslie
swore Chester had confessed to
him the murder of pretty Maybel
Matheson, an unsolved crime
which occurred when the Pearces
lived in West Roxbury, Mass, in
1927. Chester was jailed and held
until Boston police proved Leslie'S
story a fabrication.
SENT TO ASYLUM
Released, Chester said, II for.
give him." Leslie, however, was
taken to Quincy, Mass. for ques-
tioning in connection with a stolen
car case. His manner caused
authorities to send him to the
Medford (Mass) asylum for the
insane, for observation.
Two or three days ago, Leslie
escaped from the institution. Sat-
urday night he invaded Chester's
home while the latter was alone.
He forced Chester to drive him
away, supposedly in quest Of Les
Hes wife and children, then
Slugged him, pushed him from the
Gsr and brutally beat and kicked
him, until passersby put him to
fight.

New Orleans, the trapping grounds

Montluzin. one Of the city's landed

than $4,000 pelts annually. Said to
be the largest metropolitan land

Montluzin owns some $4,000 acres,
more than one-third Of the city OF
New Orleans.

Oddly enough, statistics show
that southern Louisiana on the
edge of the semi-tropics, produces
more pelts than the entire Do

Despite this enormous take, fur

Deadlock Is Renewed in
General Motors Strike

w HEN negotiations were about
w to open for settlement of the
strike of General Motors workers,
the truce declared by persuasion of
Governor Murphy of Michigan was
called off, both sides charging bad
faith. Homer Martin, head of the
United Automobile Workers, said
the corporation violated the truce
by attempting to reopen the Cadil-
lac plant in Detroit; by agreeing to
bargain collectively with nonunion
employees, and by denying the right
of picketing at the Guide Lamp
plant in Anderson, Ind.
General Motors accused the union
of violating the truce by refusing
to remove sit-down strikers from
all the plants. Vice President Knud-
sen had wired G., E. Boysen, head
of the Flint Alliance which acts for
the nonunion men, that the COM
pany would protect the rights of all
its employees and would discuss any
question with the alliance or any
group of the workers. This so en-
ragged Martin, who now claims for
his union majority of the en-
ployes, that he directed the strikers
not to evacuate the Flint plants.
Martin sent a telegram to Sena-
tor La Toilette, chairman of the
senate committee on civil iber-
ties, asking him to subpoena Boy
sen and the records of the Flint
Alliance: He charged that Boysen
was working with General Motors
to break the strike.
Governor Murphy said he was still
trying to work out the situation.
BY his direction the National Guard
detachments in Flint were kept in
the background.
