Dana was a kinsman of Charles A. Dana the
great editor. and had been rector of Gen. Rob-
ert f. Lees church in Virginia In apprecia-
ton of his services, the general had given his
rector many fine old pieces of furniture which
were later moved to Glenwood. Heirlooms
long in the family of Gen. T. P. Dockery, an
other famous Confederate hero, had also been
placed there for safekeeping during the War
Between the States
When the Rev. Mr. Dana died his son.
Richard Henry Clay Dana, became master of
Glenwood.
AS boy, Richard Dana received a thor
ough education in music. Although he de-
veloped into something of dandy as youth,
he gave promise of becoming a fine concert
pianist and great things expected of him.
Then two fingers of his right hand were
smashed in an accident and he knew he would
never play again the beautiful things he loved
so much
That seemed to put some kind of a crimp
in Richard Dana's brain. He lost interest in
everything except a pair of goats. In the
midst of generous acres he never put pillow
in the ground. His home grew shabby and
dilapidated, but that when they were say
ing that all Natehez was too poor to paint and
too proud to whitewash and nobody noticed
it much.
The house began to fall apart. The goats
multiplied until there was a whole herd of
them. Dana gave them the run of the place
and 1t was then people started to speak of it
as Goat Castle" -t
- twas about then. too that Miss Octavia
Dockery the daughter of General Dockery
came to see about the family heirooms left
there by her father during the War and which
were now hers. She stayed on at Goat Castle
as Dana's housekeeper and everyone said how
sweet it was of Octavia Dockery to devote her
life to caring for eccentric Dick Dana.
Years went by and the place continued to
fall into ruin. In the moonlight the goats
hundreds of them, were seen playing on the
veranda or running through the house. Sleep
ing under rosewood four-poster beds, wrig-
Cling their boards and nibbling at the books
in the library. Millions of fleas hoped about
the rooms and nested in the beautiful rugs and
draperies.
Natchez said the strangest thing about the
place was that the goats could stand it,
Dana avoided people like wild thing and
was often observed sinking through the woods
dressed only in gunny sack. Although his
house was filled with priceless antiques. he and
Miss Dockery lived in squalor People said
the goats ate the books and Dick and Octavia

All Natchez knew Miss Jane Surget Mer-
rlll, whose father had served as Ambassador
to Belgium and held other important govern
ment posts under President Grant She her.
SELF had been educated abroad and for years
had lived alone at Glenbumey, gentle white
haired hermit clinging to the old ways in
lonely grandeur-seemingly. But there were
other things about her known only to the
inner circle of old-line families who for gem
-eFations had tnter-married and were able to
boast proudly that practically everybody in
Natchez was kin to everybody else.
One thing was that in spite of her some
what frail and helpless appearance Miss Mer-
rili was crack shot and could wing a hawk
or shoot the eyes out of an owl with rifle or
pistol
Sheriff Roberts shrugged uneasily as he
headed down Federal Highway 81, the Old
Man River Route to New Orleans Little did
he suspect the tangled skein of events the
strange revelations that were to result from
that telephone call, however as he turned into
the drive lined with magnolas and live oaks
draped with ghostly festoons of Spanish moss,
leading up to where Glenburney stood half hid
den by mass of dogwood and jasmine.
- The gardener, blue-lipped and quaking. met
him at the door.
Who else knows about this ." the sheriff
demanded
Il notified de relatives. suh-and Mstuh
Minor, of course"
Yes Mr.. Minor-of course" the officer
echoed thoughtfully. and went inside
There were the bloodstains on the hallway
floor. several of them. A table had been over
turned, rug lay crumpled against the wall
and there were other evidences a struggle had
taken place. The bed in Miss Merrill's cham
Der was mussed as though she had gotten up
from II hurriedly.
When a quick look about the house and
grounds revealed no further traces of the mis-
tress Of Genburney Sheriff Roberts went to
the telephone and ordered bloodhounds.
The boodhounds arrived. and close on their
heels came Mr.. Minor white-haired, white
mustached erect as ramrod in spite of his
20 years squirting foam-spattered horse

MlLH Burns, Mississippfs forgotten wo-
man who served eight years at the State
- prison farm at Parchman for a murder
il now appears she never committed, returned
to her home in Natchez free woman the other
day
Governor Paul b Johnson's grant of execu-
tive clemency to the colored ex-landlady really
the least conspicuous figure in the case, has
revived once more the fantastic Goat Castle"
murder mystery which now. it seems, will
never be solved.
II has again turned the spotlight upon two
stately and historic old mansions standing on
adjoining estates on the high bluffs that over
look the Mississippi River the outskirts of
Natchez: two houses long linked by tradition,
their occupants by tangled web of pride, of
love and prejudice and hate.
one of these mansions, Glenburney is in
excellent repair, its grounds trim and we'll
kept. the other known as Goat Castle al
though years ago it had more dignfied
name-is unkempt and fallen into ruin, its
spacious rooms Uttered with the molderng re-
mains Of priceless antiques and filth
In 1882, at Glenburney, occurred one of the
South's weirdest and most puZzling MURDERS
a murder which revealed to the world four
Characters as strange -any-exer- portrayed
by Hogarth or Poe which left blood and dirt
on the crinoline skirts of some of Natehczis
finest old families and changed the course of
the citys history.
A 5 dusk fell, sultry and oppressive, on the
evening Of August 4th. 1892 the telephone
rang shrily in the office of Sheriff Clarence p
Roberts.
"Mistuh Sheriff. sub" frightened voice
came shaldly over the wire. Miss Merrill
she's done gone"
'Whoa-wait a minute" the sheriff drawled
Who are you-and what's this all about ?"

His career strangely paralleled the adventures
of the Philip Nolan" in Hales THE Man
Without Country" although Hale insisted
it was only a coincidence and that he had
never heard of Mississippi's Philip Nolan when
he created his.
Duncan Minor was a strange man, but
respected In time when everyone drove
automobiles he still rode horse.
Other relatives arrived and Mr. Minor took
charge of the house while Sheriff Roberts and
his deputies put the dogs on the scent. To his
chagrin, however. they simply around in
circles, yelping and baying but finding nothing.
But he was even more chagrined when he
returned to the house and discovered it had
been cleaned from top to bottom the blood
wiped up and many of his valuable clues in
Guiding possible fingerprints probably de-
stroyed.
When Sheriff Roberts started to protest,
Mr.. Minor explained courteously but firmly
that the sight of blood and disorder upset him.
The Sheriff shrugged philosophically. 1t was
too late to do anything about it.
Although he had no clues and couldn't
establish murder without a body, the sheriff
began casting about for suspects Questioned
on that score Mr.. Minor told him about George
Pearles. a Negro handyman Pearles. he
said had come to Glenburney and made nuis-
ance of himself begging for food and work
from Miss Merrill until finally that gentle lady
had warned him she would-ah-takes meas
ures if he annoyed her further.
Sheriff Roberts shook his head and his
gaze turned speculatively toward the hulk of
Goat Castle that doomed dark and forbiddng
through the trees. He knew the story of the
hatred that existed between Miss Merrill and
its strange inhabitants. a story going back
many years to the mauve era of bustles and
buggies when the side-wheeiers raced to New
Orleans with their cargoes of cotton and grain
when Natchez was Mistress of the Mississippi
and her proud old families refused to allow
a railroad to come there fearing it would spoil
their leisurely and graceful way of life
IN those days the stately old home of the
Rev. Charles Dachus Dana was not known
as Goat Castle" 1t bore the more appro-
pirate title of "Genwood" then. The Rev Mr.

ate the goats, when they ate meat at all.
OF course Natchez looked down its
nose at Goat Castle, but defended Dana
and Miss Dockery to strangers. After
all. they were old line, they belonged.
Eventually, Richard Dana was 'ad-
judged mentally incompetent and Miss
Dockery was appointed his guardian.
Natchez Uttered and said Dick Dana
was craZy-like a fox.
Then reports of feud smoldering
between Dana and Miss Merrill began
to crop out. Merrill, it seemed.
was furious because some of Dana's
goats had rin-over onto her place.
She threatened to kill them. Dick Dana
would have none of that, no sir. No
one-was going to mistreat any of his
beloved bilies and nannies.
There were said to have been violent
quarrels
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-02

As GOOD a motive as any. Sheriff
~ Roberts thought, as he went out
side to see how the bloodhounds were
getting along. They were yapping and
running this way and that, stfll mostly
in circles. but as he descended the steps
he heard a cry from Negro searcher
who had apparently stumbled over some
thing in the brush about two hundred
feet from the house.
Roberts and the deputies converged
upon him with their flashlights. And
there. under a clump of jasmine. they
found the body of Miss Jane Surget
Merrill
She was dead
AS the sheriff reconstructed the
crime. after hurried examination OF
the body and from what he had seen
in the house. Miss Merrill was lying on
her bed when she first heard the killer.
All unsuspecting what was in store
for her, the queer old recluse had then
probably seized an old-fashioned pistol

crept out of her bedroom to meet her doom
fusillade of revolver shots-and staggered
into the hallway where she died. Then she
was dragged out and left in the bushes.
The sheriff hurried over to Goat Castle and
arrested Dana and Miss Dockery
Both protested their innocence Dana
stated that he had heard strange noises at
Glenburney late on the afternoon of August
4th. But we don't know anything about it,"
he said. Miss Merrill was always quarreling
with us and others about the place"
THINGS happened rapidly during the next
few days as revelation followed revelation
and surprise followed surprise
first shock came with the reading of
Miss Merrills will and caused puzzled glances
to be directed toward Duncan Minor. For
in her last testament Miss Merrill stated with
a terse definiteness that almost breath
taking: II leave all possess to Duncan G.
Minor"
The will. and further questioning of Dana
and Miss Dockery, caused more than one aged
skeleton to rattle its pallid bones as the in
side story of Goat Castle and Genhurney slip
ped out much to the delight of the more pro-
gressve element in Natchez. Duncan Minor
and Miss Merrill had been sweethearts for
years. it seemed, one persistent rumor even
going so far as to insist they were married
in their youth, but kept It secret
Their romance, begun in childhood con-
tinued as Miss Merrill grew into a pretty
-vipaeieus- and-eharrning belle. The dashinp
and debonair Mr.. Minor was a persistent
sutton, people recalled, and they made an ideal
couple. But the romance was frowned upon
by their families. probably because the Minors
sympathized with the South while the Mer-
rills did not.
At any rate, nothing came of it. as far
as the world knew Miss Merrill continued
to be much sought after. but in 1905 she
suddenly gave up her brilliant social career
and retired to Glenburney. She saw few yisi-
tors and seldom spoke to anyone
AS time went on she seemed to retire mora
and more into the past, clnging to the regal
high-necked dresses with the puffed sleeves
that characterized the styles of the preced-
ing century. On her nfrequent appearances
in her ancient horse and buggy, she looked
more like female Rip Van Wrinkle than a
person of flesh and blood

old-lne Natchez had known all alone-tbat
