McLEARY’S CAR
FOUND AT CANTON
Missing Major's Machine and Blood
Spatfered Cap Discovered By*
* Officers.
Asheville, N. C., July 13.—Belief
that Maj. Samuel H. Me Leary, army
officer, who disappeared after being
seen at Raleigh, N. C., July 2, has met
with foul play was expressed by po
lice authorities tonight when it was
reported that an army cap found in
his abandoned automobile near Can
ton, N. C., was blood spattered.
This belief was strengthened when
it was reported by a resident of
Thickety, a settlement near Canton,
that two men Thursday, July 3, driv
ing the car later found adandoned,
had asked him for water to wash their
hands and had stated that they were
having trouble with their car. This
man later the same day found the
automobile adandoned, and reported it
to Canton authorities who communi
cated with officers here today.
Immediately after these reports had

Atlanta, Ga., July 13.—Maj. Samuel
H. McLeary was last seen in Raleigh,
N. C., July 2, when he stopped over
for a few hours on his way from
Norfolk, Va., to Fort Moultrie, Char
leston, S. C. He was supposed to
have left the North Carolina capitol
the next day for Columbia, S. C., but
despite an exhaustive search by offi
cials of three states no clues as to
his whereabouts has been found.
The finding of his automobile near
Asheville late today gave the authori
ties their first definite trace of him.
The only thing actually known of his
movements was when he wired from
Raleigh for a sum of money to be sent
to him at Columbia. Immediately af
terward he dropped out of sight as
mysteriously aS if he had been swal
lowed up by the earth.
1 Mrs. McLeary, who remained in
Norfolk, and relatives and friends at
first expressed the belief that he had
met with foul play, but this theory
Reformed! later was replaced by a belief that he
had fallen a victim of amnesia.
Friends recalled that some time ago
he suffered a sunstroke and often
since has complained of severe head
aches. The opinion also was express
ed that wounds he received during the
war might have caused his mind tem
porarily to wander.
Apprehension as to his safety first
was aroused when Major McLeary
failed to claim the money which had
been sent him at Columbia. South
Carolina authorities immediately in
stituted a statewide search, aided by
was department records which gave
the number and make of his automo
bile.

At the same time Virginia and
North Carolina officials began a
check to ascertain definitely the ma

little more than a day. Main high

ed in all directions without result.
Raleigh soon became the center of
the hunt. Mrs. McLeary, relatives
and friends of the family went there
from Norfolk to spur the searchers;
while the aid of municipal and county
officers throughout the state was in
voked in proclamations issued by Gov.

Raleigh.

search vigorously and friends of the
family in Texas soon came to offer
their assistance.
