At the in jiKst it was brought out that the woman had been intimate with t'anley for several months. Cantoy, who i* employed on the sewerage work, caino hy her house in Saturday evening and the two went out on the Broad river road. .stopping at Mr. W. H. Dent's store to get some supplies and leaving there, so Cantoy said, to go across the river. That was the last seen of either until the body was found. Last nigh, about 10 o'clock, Officer Dunning heard that Cantoy was in a house on tho lower end of Sumter street. He immediately went down and arrested him, Cantoy offering no resistance. Mr. Dent identified him as the man who had called at the store in company with the Kershaw woman. Cantoy was turned over to the sheriff and taken to jail. There can no longer bo any doubt about the right man being caught. Policeman Dunning secured a search warrant this morning and went to the house where Cantev was arrested last night. He was accompanied by Magistrate's Constable (iiiston. As soon as the two officers approached, a woman w o set n to throw .1 bundle out of a window.
