a malformed chest, and because of
chronic stomach trouble he lived al

went by various names, and he was
accompanied now by a beautiful
French-Canadian girl, Nulda Petrie
Olivia, who had run away from her
home in Michigan.
Chief Reynolds and his detectives,
in their cross-country manhunt, traced
another murder TO the sadfaced

Officers were sure they had the

went by, with no further clue.
Mrs. Martha Hornbeck, who ran
a little grocery store in San Francis

a friend on the police force that she
had a woman customer who bought
unusual quantities of matted milk and
also had bleached her hair.
On the girls next visit to the

followed her to her room near by.
They knocked on the door.
Two shots rang out. The officers

COUNTY RELAXES
POULTRY RULING

At the request Of merchants and
farmers, the Board Of Health, at
a called meeting Tuesday, agreed
to permit farmers temporarily to
dress poultry at their homes and
sell it through the City Market
or directly to stores or customers,
according to DR.. A. H. Elliot, City
and County Health officer.
This request to relax, for the
time being, the new regulations
governing the dressing and hand
ling of chickens was based on the
claim that such regulations had
caused farmers to stop bringing
their chickens to Wilmington. FL

IF this may have been the
case" he said, lit is not the
Board of Health's intention. Ger
tainly, during the present severe
shortage of poultry and meat the
Board of Health has no desire to
keep farmers from supplying as
many chickens as possible he
said.
1.-THE farmers full cooperation
on sanitation and refrigeration will
be expected" he stated. This tenn
porary modification of regulations
does not apply to the commercial
or professional poultry dressing
establishments.
