Officers and physicians were unable
to obtain from Herrin any intelligible
information in connection with the
brutal murder. Members of the family,
however, who can interpret him by
sig^ns and stammered mutterings, tes
tified that the Negro aimitted that
he struck the aged woman with an,axe.
The woman’s denuded body was'
found some distance from the house,
with the face partially buried in a
sand heap. According to the official
investigation, it was evident that the
victim was struck down in or near the
house, her body dragged across the
public road and pitched into a deep
gully*at the roadside, then removed
some distance farther and left in a
field. The woman’s head had been
crushed with a blunt instrument of
some kind. Her neck was broken, prob
ably when her body was thrown into
the hollow.

Greenville, Aug. 30. — Harmon
Moore,, former deputy sheriff, and
Blair Rook, Negro, are charged with
the murder of the late Sheriff Sam'
D. Willis in true bills returned by the
; county grand jury in sessions court
late today.
Solicitor J. G. Leather^’ood at once
announced that trial of the cases
would not be attempted at this term
of court ow’ing to lack of time and
other causes.
Moore is out on bond at $5,000,
while Rook, who’confessed that he ac
tually shot the sheriff the night of
June 10, 1927, as a hireling of Moore,
is held almost incommunicado in the
county bastile. «
Capt. Oscar K. Mauldin, Greenville
attorney, announced that he had been
retained to represent Rook when his
icase shall come to trial, though the
I Negro tonight told officers and re-
I porters that he had taken no steps
himself to procurre counsel. Moore has
already arranged for counsel.
Rook confessed to offiters soon af
ter his arrest August 7th, that he had
i slain Sheriff Willis. He signed the ^
i confession implicating ’^Moore and
' naming a third man, though no action
has been taken against this last per-
^son, The Negro still maintains that |
ihe killed the .sheriff on condition that'
Moore and the third party pay him'
$.500. He claims to have received only
$50, however. !
, However, .within a few days the
.sheriff’s widow, Mr^. Ethel Gray Wil-
I lis, and Henry S. Townsend, a deputy
I sheriff under Willis, and a former
wartime buddy and bosom friend of
the dead man, were arrested for the
killing. They were subsequently tried
and acquitted.
