Constantly you read of blood poison ing that starts in the foot.

It was developed at the inquest held on the side of the road near where the tragedy was enacted, that the crime was committed in Chesterfield County, and by consequence, the trial of King and any others who may be implicated, will be held in the county seat of that county, which likewise bears the name Chesterfield.

Major Williams related how King had led the searching party to the scene, indicated the skeleton lying in the bushtes, and said it was the remains of Major McLeary. The automobile, ac cording to King’s confession, as re counted by the officer, was driven by the two slayers of Major McLeary to the mountains of North Carolina near Canton, King’s home, where it was abandoned as the result of an acci dent. i , ... Discovery and identification of this automobile, a touring car, led to the arrest of King several days ago as a suspect, but he was released. Further investigation, according to reports re ceived here, resulted in the finding of a shirt of the missing officer on King’s premises, which led to his re ported confession.
